Mondays Roll Around TOO Fast

Do Mondays seem to come way to often for you? They do here. The week drags out and then the weekends fly by. I'm up and nursing a second cup of coffee while getting a little bit of MyLot notifications kicked to the curb. It's nice and peaceful this morning as my hubby has already left for work and my mom is still sleeping. Hubby had a hard time waking up this morning so I got up and put the coffee on. This is usually his job, but I didn't mind. I got his lunch all ready and packed up and he finally managed to crawl out of bed. No special plans for the day today other than pay some bills, do some laundry and regular chores around here. Do you have any special plans for this Monday? Photo: Pixaby, public domain

If one dreads Monday it comes even faster. It is better to look forward to Monday then it slows things down a bit.

That is an odd way of looking at it.

I like days like that. Not fast-paced, but relaxing. I'm glad your hubby got out to work on time. My only plan is to get back to the Y this morning for my appointment with the trainer in the fitness center. Then I will be back here clearing notifications and working on a book.

@kareng It's been good so far. I expect the second half of my day will be good. I'm not going anywhere until tomorrow.

We've had an easy day today. We wandered around the town we're staying in and did a bit of shopping. We move on again tomorrow.

Even though I work at home I still do not like Mondays. Now I have caught a virus and walking up feeling bad this morning and realizing it was a Monday did not help at all.

We've got to figure out a way to slow down our weekends, you are right they go so fast. And then POW! Monday punches you right in the face.

Well, my days have changed a bit since mom is here now. I am a bit bored here today and she is asleep in the recliner so I may just go get a nap or read a book.

Even being retired without the pressure of a job, Mondays still roll around too fast.

My sentiments exactly. I really looked forward to no more alarm clocks when I retired. Now I am looking forward to no more alarm clocks for my hubby. Most annoying with multiple devices set and snooze.

This is ALWAYS what irks me. The weekends are also too fast and too short and then the weeks are unbearably slow.

Too much to do on the weekend. You bust your *S% and then have to go back to work tired on Monday.

That's good that you are having a nice and relaxing day and a holiday at that. It was hot, humid, muggy and sticky here today. Typical southern weather in the summer.
