What did you do this Monday, to beat the Monday blues?

Yesterday was kind of a lazy day. I did some laundry, cooked some ribs in the crockpot and then threw some potatoes in to bake to go along with them. It is so beautiful here that I love sitting out on the patio...with my laptop. Unfortunately, I'm not writing much...playing games mostly. I need to do some writing though! Guess I have spring fever.

I too have had work to do and just now getting to mylot --more or less. I too have done some work outside in a flower bed of my mama's and am now watering it---but I am hopeful to get a few tomatoe plants in a week or so. Hey, work is work and sometimes it can wait. I chose to wait ! Just now too long !

It was a wonderful day here in San Diego on Monday! I had to do some job-search related stuff as I am now unemployed and looking for work. I got a call saying that I have been accepted for training to do the door-to-door census enumeration, so that was good. I also set up a website where people can print quality copies of some of my artwork and hope to make money that way. And, finally, I watched Molly the Owl from San Marcos, CA online.

Is it still Monday there? It is Tuesday or it is 1.00am now so it is already Wednesday. Over the weekend I was back to my other house and only came back here late Monday. I did a lot of laundry on Tuesday. I have always thought of doing some gardening to plant pumpkins and papaya but never able to start. Maybe I need to do some serious planning as gardening is a good form of exercise rather than sitting in front of the computer endlessly.

I should be doing my income taxes, and filing. But I went out first to water my garden, as in this climate it is like summer already. But we must have had wind last night because one of my tomatoes fell off its support, pot and all and had come crashing down and broke the pot beneath it. Both tomato plants are fine though and one has lots of buds already. I just finished putting it in a new pot and came in to check myLot and right now in the middle of this discussion, I looked out and saw the cutest bunny rabbit sitting in the road. I got photos, yayy. Will try to post one later. Now it is time for breakfast!

Yesterday I tried not to think about it, but as is true EVERY Monday I wished (only for a second!) that it was the weekend again. (LOL) The weekends go WAY too fast nowadays. I worked a very long day yesterday so it made for a typical Monday. Once I got home from work, I got to relax with my hubby. We had some yummy spaghetti after I cleaned up the kitchen - what remained needing to be organized from our party we had this weekend - and then we were able to sit down and watch a movie while eating our spaghetti. Right before bed, I took a nice, hot shower as it was a little chilly out so it felt nice. I tried to get to bed early to catch up on sleep lost over the weekend (LOL), but I ended up reading for a little while right before falling asleep. It was a nice evening. Oh...can't believe I forgot the most important part! After our movie last night, I spent a couple hours catching up here on MyLot. It was so much fun, as always. That completed my Monday! MyLot always takes away the "Monday Blues." Thanks for asking! I hope your Monday was wonderful as well. Now we're already a day or two closer to the weekend!

I don't get blues on Mondays, I actually look forward to them. There's this really delicious-looking Serbian bus driver, with an equally delicious Serbian accent, who drives on Mondays, so needless to say, I have good reason for looking forward to Mondays. No blues on Mondays, since the bus he's on goes directly from my house, to the coffee shop. :)

I also had work to do but just couldn't get very motivated. I did it, though. It was cold, wet and dismal here yesterday but today it is sunny and almost 60! The rest of the week should be beautiful!! After I finish this bunch of work I'm going to start my vegetable seedlings and get a head start on the growing season. Your raised garden plot sounds lovely!

hi gardengerty oh I have the monday and tuesday blues, my right leg is all swollen and broken out in a pebbly rash, and do not even know why so have an appt. with my doctor this afternoon to find out whats wrong and hopefully to make it clear up again, so right now I am a bit despondent but hope the doctor can cheer me up.oh I hate going to doctors. your day sounded much more like fun., I love to garden but cannot do so here in this tiresome rtirement center. got to go lunch call .cheers happy mylotting a nd happy getting ready to garden.lol.

I took a walk to the lake at lunch!

I don't usually have the monday blues. Every day is about the same when u don't work anymore. I know u enjoyed being outside. I got out a little in the yard but i don't last long doing yard work. We have a beautiful day today hope u do to.

What did I do on Monday? I took my granddaughter to her appointment for an interview to see if she can get a loan to go to college and become a dentist's assistant. I set out in the parking lot and waited for her for about two hours and read a book. Then I came home and I got online and worked on here.

We hae to wait until the end of April around here. It still snows and freezes, but after April things really take off. Good gardening to you.

I just did the usual. I put some money in the bank and got gas. I didn't do anything too exciting. I never have liked Mondays, myself. Even though I'm not working or going to school, I still don't like Mondays. I usually sing at the nursing home the first Monday of the month and the assisted living facility the third Monday of the month. I volunteered out at EASI today, though, and it was a very nice day for riding horseback! Kathy.

Well Gerty at that particular Monday I was in bed sick lol so I spent the Day sleeping and only got up when I had to take little Gissi out

I looked at a job online for substitute teaching and ignored it. Why? Because I'm burned-out on subbing. I went yesterday because I really needed the money. But that just aggravated me more. The kids were OK yesterday, the teacher left lesson plans and answer keys (I often don't get one or the other, if it's an emergency, I get neither, but if it's planned, I don't see why I can't get both). So I should have been happy. But I wasn't, I was miserable. I subbed in 1981, 1991, 1998, 2001, last year and this year. I've had it. Many of the things they give me are awful. In School Suspension, Gymn classes where kids fight, claases that no one can control, etc. I never get Kindergarden or Reading any more. I'm certified K-12 Reading and K-6 all subjects. What do I get? Behavioral problems, Gymn, advanced science that I don't understand with no answer key, etc. I've had it. If I see something I really want, I'll take it. If my mood improves, I'll take something. If I can't pay my bills, I'll have to take something. But I'm tired of this. I used to get some decent classes and yesterday's was. But now I'm even burned out for that. I have part-time jobs, besides it, but they're disappointing, too. I was supposed to get one day a week, but now I'm getting 1/2 a day cleaning or driving someone around. Last year, I had 30 hours a week for the Census. This year they called to ask if I could work at least 30 hours, they gave me 2 1/4 hours yesterday (after a day of subbing, so I was kind of glad that's all I had yesterday, but that's all I've had this week!). It's like it doesn't matter what I do, I can't get a week's worth of work.

Well to tell the truth I didnt have the monday blues and I rarely .Granted I am always a little hard pressed to get up after a long weekend but after I get going its just like any other day .So I guess my day was like any other .Mind you I didnt want to go to work as usaul but that wasnt different from any other day

I think it's commendable that you were able to turn your eye away from the freelance work to spend a nice day with your son and tending to your garden. Sometimes we tend to get all wrapped up in work that we, as they say, don't find time to stop and smell the flowers. Good luck with the rest of the work you need to do, I'm sure it will still be somewhat lighter because you were able to spend quality time with family beforehand.
