This was inspired by a true notion in the shower and especially goes out to you 9-5ers (or close to it):
If you think about it, the weekend really ends on Monday night. Since Friday and Saturday are so filled with the fun and adventure you crave all week, Sunday becomes a struggle to get even the most simplest of tasks accomplished. I don't care if you party or not, Sunday was designed for the goodness of unproductivity to prevail. Then, as if you weren't expecting it, Monday happens.
Reality eventually sets in as you wake to the alarm clock after glancing at it repeatedly during the night not wanting to believe your wake up call was ever the more nearer. You drag yourself out of bed and try to gather your thoughts as you pray a shower will get your senses focused. You shower, but it doesn't take. You were only able to get through to that first layer of weekend's resin but didn't have time to get to the second. Although the shower helps, you're by no means as chipper as a spring daisy, that's for sure. You make it to a quick breakfast and thank the man who invented caffeine. Begin the commute to work. Traffic is terrible! Weird. Transit is late! You're shittin' me. WORK. (Everyone knows work sucks on Monday, I don't care if you're the lotion guy on a Hawiian Tropic bikini tour). Work is over, one more terrible commute, get home. How good does home look? Do something half-productive at home because you spent most of Monday not really accomplishing much at work. Eat a decent meal and bed time just begins to whisper to you. Hold on. Something doesn't feel right. You still feel that last layer of the weekend that permeates your skin and now Monday has left a bad taste in your mouth. Second shower that day but wow was it worth it. Jump into bed. Of course by bed I mean utopia of softness and support unrivaled by anything in your known world. Doze. Doze. Sleep.
Who says weekends are free? Monday is the cost and therefore deserves the same title.
Heading off to his utopia,
