Unless You Have Today as a Holiday....Mondays DO NOT Rock...


Monday – the first day of a new work week.  I try to look at it as a new beginning, but that usually doesn’t last too long…usually until the alarm goes off…
Monday – the day that is the hardest to get out of bed in the morning.  It’s a good thing J is in charge of the alarm clock or I’d never get out of bed on Monday…or any other day for that matter.
Monday – the day when the simple task of making my lunch turns into a gigantic chore.  Although I purchased groceries on Sunday, Monday is a day when nothing appeals to my appetite and I just usually end up packing Mr. Noodles.
Monday – the day I ALWAYS end up needing to stop for gas.  I detest stopping for gas.  You would think I could just take the time on Sunday and avoid the Monday morning gas fiasco, but alas…I don’t.  I will NEVER learn…
Monday – the day I spend most of the day trying to clear the fog from my “weekend brain”.
Monday – the greatest day for morons and idiots.  Heaven forbid Mondays that fall on the same days as a full moon, because then – the idiots just run rampant.  Or, maybe my life isn’t actually full of idiots, maybe by patience just runs a little thinner on Mondays…maybe, but I doubt it.
Monday – the day I never feel like cooking supper and struggle not to succumb to the overwhelming urge to stop for take-out on my way home.  I like to save take-out for Wednesdays…
Monday – the day when I’m in bed by 9:00 p.m. because by then…I need a time out.

How’s your Monday?
Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7th of your life. Unknown…

I love Mondays. I get to go back to the job I love. I wander down the halls at the office. Good morning, Morning, hey, good morning. Yes, I am one of those. Sorry.

Well, Monday is one day closer to Friday.

But it exceptionally hard after a long weekend. Bring on another long weekend, soon.

Yeah I agree. I do have today off but Mondays are the worst - and I don't even hate my job! They were even worse when I did hate my job. It is so hard to get out of bed on Monday. I agree with pretty much everything you said. I tend to end up wasting a lot of time on Monday because as you said, it takes a while to get out of the weekend fog. I just can't focus and I am usually so tired that I feel like I am going to fall asleep! But, I also miss seeing the people I work with so in some ways it's good.

My Monday is about the same as yours. And because I sleep in WAY too late on Sunday, I can never sleep well Sunday night so I was around crabby all day on Monday.

I Was Feeling Pretty Good Until...

I had my annual “physical” yesterday.   I’ve been attending the same clinic for well over 20 years and am overall happy with the service I receive.  The clinic is part of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so with that I typically have relatively quick access to a network of specialists should the need arise.  With that being said, I’m usually treated by residents and have rarely had the same resident in all my 20 years. I felt pretty good going into the appointment and then not so much by the time I left.   Why do you ask? Well, first of all I was treated by Miss Doogie Howser.   I swear she wasn’t even legal drinking age.  That in itself made me feel old, because when I first started going to that clinic – I WAS her age. As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she asked me “How is your sex life?  Any concerns?

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un
