Like the old days

Posted on January 22nd, 2006 @ 8:12 pm in Stuff.

I seem to be returning to the I-hate-Sundays-because-they-mean-it’s-Monday-tomorrow-and-that-means-work moods again.

I can’t think why. As has already been mentioned, Tall Andy’s empire is swelling on an almost hourly basis and the work’s no more crap than it’s always been. Spring and its traditionally twee photo-ops can’t be far off now, so it can’t be the time of year. Nothing else has changed that I’m conscious of, so why the blues?

Maybe I need to book a holiday - somewhere colourful. Maybe I just need, oh, I don’t know, something else. It’s a puzzle, isn’t it?

    Sundays! It use to be the worst day of the week. When I was back home, and Angel-Face was not even a glimmer in my eye, I dreaded the day. A few of my friends and I made a pact that we would not be alone on two consecutive Sundays, ever. It helped, we made Sundays our social day, for friends, for family, for fun. We did silly things like try out weird and wonderful pudding recipes and somehow the guys always ate most of it! But the 5 or 6 of us who had the dreadful recurring Sunday-Blues managed to keep each other as normal as we could, and we very very seldom spiraled into that dark pit of despair. Sunday’s were made for being together with loved ones, to be appreciated, to be ..just to be with those who accept us.

    Em3 - STOP IT!

    You get two days off a week and are falling into the trap of wasting one of them being fed up about the days you aren’t off!

    Effectively this means you are now allowing yourself to have have only one “Yippee I can do what I want” day off a week, because you’re wasting the other one being fed up.

    You don’t need a holiday. What you need to do is make the most of the two days holiday you already get every week.

    You only get one life, so stop wasting your brain power wondering about tomorrow. Instead make the most of each moment as it’s happening.

    I heard today that research has identified 24th January as the most depressing day of the year. Perhaps it was just a build up to that?

    Em3: I hope so - I’ll let you know tomorrow night.

    Ahhh, we were told here in Canada that our most depressing day of the year is January 23rd, just happened to be our election day. Hmmmm funny eh? By the way, I’ve always hated Sunday’s too. I usually feel very sad on Sunday. I don’t hate work, but there is something about Sunday’s and endings. Not sure what it is…I’ve felt like this since I was a young girl.
