Sundays shit me
…because they are a precursor to Mondays. And I HATE Mondays. Who created Mondays anyway? Oy.
Sundays always feel as though you are counting down to going back to school and work. Not so much a day of rest, as a day of STRESS. I’m sure they don’t have to be that way, it’s just how they’ve become around here!
I tried to make it pleasant today, I had good intentions, really. I got up at a reasonable time, instead of sleeping half the day away. I didn’t laze around in my pj’s, reading the papers. I had a shower and got organised. We did the groceries first, so we could relax and enjoy the rest of the day without having that hang over our heads. When we got home, I decided to cook a roast lamb. Mollie pottered around, setting and ‘prettyfying’ the table. We don’t use our dining room much, so she got the ‘good’ plates out, the nice glasses, napkins, the whole works. We had a lovely lunch.
Sometime during the day, the heavens opened, and they have not yet closed. We’ve had a good 2-3 inches of rain today. Which is fine. In fact, it’s lovely. BUT IT DOES NOT INSPIRE ACTIVITY. It actually inspires sloth. Massive doses of sitting around doing nothing. ALL. FUCKING. DAY.
I shouldn’t complain. I should feel rested. I’ve watched more movies than I’ve seen in the past six months. I haven’t read one page of a book (highly unusual for me). But instead, I feel crappy. Tired. Bored. Frustrated. And I have to go back to work tomorrow. And I’m not ready. I’M NOT READY I TELL YOU.
Because two of my best ‘work’ friends won’t be there. Because one of the two people I can’t stand will be. Because I may only have one week left at that office, and I have more than one week’s worth of work left to do. Because I only want to be there for one more week, and someone may try to stop me from going! And, to make things worse, there is no wine in the fridge. None. Because when I did the groceries, I got stressed over the amountof the bill and decided not to go to the bottle shop! D’OH! (Lightening, if you are reading this, I will be over to your site soon to re-read your budgeting tips!)
Now, because I have no wine, I’m resorting to whining! Oh, I crack myself up.
If I keep going in this vein, I will slash my wrists! Only kidding. Maybe I’ll indulge in a little bourbon…
I agree, Sundays never feel restful here either. Ack.

Oh Tracey - I don’t like Mondays either … Sundays are a day of work here too and we never got a roast dinner tonight -enough whining but I still have one glass in the small cask.
I have an award for you Lovely …cheer up only 5 days till the weekend.LOL the price of vino is getting stressful and I have been reading Lightenings tips too but also Kelley’s - the wine wins -cheaper then the therapist

Is it mean of me to gloat about how much I love Sundays AND Mondays? Because I work a full day on Saturdays, my weekend becomes Sunday-Monday. So I guess for me, Tuesdays shit me. Although once I start back at uni in a month, my Monday morning 8am class is going to shit me - especially since it’s over an hours’ drive away!
So I’ll be back then to whine with you.

No, Katie, it’s not mean. I, too, was once a shift worker, so I understand the concept of the non-weekend weekend! I used to really love having days off when everyone else was working! So all things considered, I think you’ve been quite restrained!
Kim, why do you torture yourself? You have to die of something!!

I have a wee theory about this, well not so much a theory as an idea that I proclaim to be the saviour of mankind everytime have have a few too many.
The weekend should rotate!
Yep, this week the weekend should fall on Sat/Sun, next week on Sun/Mon, week after on Mon/Tue, followed by Tue/Wed, Wed/Thur, Thur/Fri, Fri/Sat and back to Sat/Sun and so on.
I know there’s an issue with there being a constant 6 day week so maybe it should go in reverse but I’ve usually passed out by the time we get to the finer details.
