Monday. Seriously...I Love You

I haven't posted on a Monday in ages, and today I'm not even complaining because I'm on holiday! I was meant to be cleaning the house and packing for a trip away but instead I spent most of the day wandering around town and perusing the second-hand shops.  The 30 minute walk home from town took at least three times as long because I kept popping into shops on the way.  I loved having the time to search through everything properly, and picked up some great finds including a brown leather satchel and vintage style overnight bag! It's been a long time since I had a day with no set plans and it was so relaxing. 

Today was the perfect start to a long-awaited holiday, and with more fun times ahead I'm sure I'll be sharing them soon!

Monday. Seriously.

Yup

Why do I hate Monday today? Well because I am super mad at myself. I dropped my cell in water (no prizes for guessing where) and it was only 6 months old (a Christmas present - waaaaa!). Not a problem in the grand scheme of life but I'm so so annoyed and I hate not having a phone. BOO.

Monday. Seriously - Did You Know You're Actually Tuesday?

WHY are there SO MANY expired yoghurts in the work fridge??! You know you're not going to eat it, WHY even bring it in. Oh wait, I think one of them's mine/I HAVE RUN OUT OF TEABAGS/I wish it was appropriate to lie down in the middle of the office, even just for a second. Sometimes I get overwhelmed and just need a moment/SO MUCH WORK/

Thank goodness for short weeks huh?  Only a couple of weeks until the shortest day, then we're on the way back out - yay! I can't wait, I've really been missing being able to run in the evenings and all this darkness is a serious mood-dampener. Luckily I've got lots of fun things with friends (and inevitibly wine) coming up. I know that I'm usually a stay-at-home kind of girl but I'm feeling cabin-feverish lately, and it's so nice to have fun things planned to break up these dark wintry days...

Monday. Seriously.

When I woke up this morning I thought "WHAT. It's Monday already?!  I HATE YOU SO MUCH". Then I shook my fist in a Homer Simpson manner. But now, in the comfort of my sofa, I can honestly say that I still hate it.

Today was the worst. Not only did I have to talk to people and do stuff, but I was nursing the Monday hangover. Now the Monday hangover is VERY different from the Sunday hangover. Sunday hangovers involve slothing around the house, eating lots, maybe feeling a bit ill or headachey. You feel crappy but at least you can hide in your house and recover in a peaceful manner.  

Monday hangovers are a whole other story. If I've been out on a Saturday night, the next Monday is by far the worst day after that. Physically I feel fine, I just hate myself and the entire world around me.  Not only that, but all my money is gone from the weekend so I can't afford anything nice to eat. 

Today I had cereal for lunch, and let me tell you, I was dark. 

Monday. Seriously

My cat is far too greedy/Why am I tired ALL THE TIME/Could people GO any slower up escalators?!!

On Mondays I look like this on the outside (well, similar but crappier):

But I am actually doing this on the inside:

Zero effort pic and the post is a day late but guess what? I was too annoyed to do it yesterday. Ha. 

What gets you riled on a Monday? Tell Aunty Steph...

Monday. Seriously.

It's cold. People talking to me before I am caffeinated. Why can't I wear my pajamas. I hate my hair. I miss Top of The Lake. My back hurts. The chair is scratchy. People whose mobiles beep with every button push. Having to do stuff. The footpaths are too slanty.

I know some people must enjoy the start of the week, but I don't know any of those people and if I did, well I'd probably want to throw my coffee at them. Especially if I met them on a Monday.

I can't help being irritated on the first day of the week, I feel like I've been rudely awoken from a cozy weekend dream and now people are trying make me use my brain - it's not pretty. The only thing I can do is embrace the feeling and allow myself a weekly rant.  It will be carthatic for me, and hopefully entertaining for you. So enjoy. Or not, I don't care. Where's my coffee.
