Tell me why I don’t like Monday’s…

Monday’s and I have a love hate relationship. I work 4 days per week and Monday is my chosen day off, thus it should be a day I love… the 3 day weekend that I’ve always dreamed of! However as I’m living the good life I don’t need a lot of free time (only one class this semester) and I find I end up wasting each and every Monday.

Some Monday’s I don’t even get out of my apartment… and it’s not like I’m being productive around my apartment. (If I was I’d be out doing laundry but that’s a whole other story.) It’s like a whole other Sunday except the radio is marginally better.

This Monday was a little better than usual… lunch at Salad King, a wander through HMV, a quick stop by the LCBO and the kitchen table and home for a nap. Tonight was a kick ass dinner or rainbow trout, risotto and asparagus. Dinner was even more decadent as I felt like I needed a January pick me up and popped a bottle of sparkling wine, I added it to the risotto which was a moment of inspiration.

The only negative aspect to the day was the main reason why I was out of the house in the first place… I needed to give my doctor some blood for tests. I'm really bad around needles, I often pass out and/or hyperventilate - I’m so grateful to everyone else who gives during blood drives. The appointment went better than usual; I only came close to passing out today but stayed upright (with help). My doctor also was finally able to schedule a time for my CT scan – Tuesday February 13th.

And if you’re tired of the usual Boomtown rats version of I Don't Like Mondays try out Ron Sexsmith. Ron’s cover is so sweet and resigned it captures how I feel about Mondays far more accurately.
