More Than Just Monday, A State of Mind

Tell me its not Monday!

IT'S MONDAY!!!  LOOK OUT!!!!

But more than Monday, its a new week.  Its time to wake up and smell the coffee (again).  Every week.  Maybe that is why Monday is such a dreaded day.  The freedom of the weekend, the day trips and movies and church services and yard work, all done on your schedule usually, are over for another week.  Its back to the routine.

I wonder if he's dead.
Who will feed me?

I thought all that would end when I retired from the County.  Not.  I still have a routine.  I wake up on Mondays and think about all I need to do or should be doing or want to do.  Of course most of it can be done on my own schedule ideally.  Like this morning I was able to sleep in, but Tater Totte worried I wouldn't get up to feed her.

So I got up.  The daily routine is now check e-mail & Facebook (obessive I know), through on some clothes, feed the anymyls, take TT and Ching Ching for a walk, then come home and work on....well, work on something like my blog, my book, my bills.  Strange, they all start with "b".  But I digress.

Yes, its Monday.  It is not only the first day of the week, but, as the old saw goes, it is the first day of the rest of your life.  And the older you get, the more your realize just how important that day is.  

So next in the routine is to water outside, sweep and make the bed.  Let the fun begin.  Its all fun if you set your mind that way.  Otherwise as was once said, 

who cares if school keeps?  Life will go on without me if I let it.  I don't plan to let it.

Mondays make me pensive.
