“Let me ask you something. When you come in on Monday and
you're not feeling real well, does anyone ever say to you, ‘Sounds like someone
has a case of the Mondays?’” – Peter Gibbons, Office Space (1999)
I felt okay enough today health-wise, but I did have a case of the Mondays. Just kind of ... meh ... about the whole thing.
Look, I love my job - seriously I'm not just saying that in case my boss is reading this - so it's not a matter of the back-to-work thing. And I had a smashing weekend: hung out with my fam, got a pedi, drank wine and watched a chick flick with a girlfriend Saturday night, narrowly avoided my dog being sprayed by skunk that was passing through the neighborhood, romantic brunch date with my hubs yesterday - all good things to leave me in a good mood today.
But it just didn't take.
I've been a little down in the dumps all day. Not worried, like I was last week. No, it's just that a couple of friends have heavy hearts and I feel for them. I don't like what I wore today. My hair was flat. My lunch was bland. It was cloudy.
And so on. And so on.
So in order to avoid being a total whiny baby, and since I drank all the wine Saturday night and it would be wrong (it would, right?) to drink more tonight, I thought I would take a look around me and work on improving my mood.
Here's what I came up:

Yes, they are Crocs and they are dorky. But they are so comfy, it's like my feet are being kissed by little cherubs with every step. |

I live very close to three horse farms and every now and then, the owners ride the horses through my neighborhood. That's just cool. |

I continue to have a sense of humor about the fact there are cats' asses on the surface where I feed my family. |

My yard is big enough for an aspiring golfer or two to practice their golf swing. |

This is what greets me by the front door (including the weeds I've yet to pull). |

Cherry tomatoes on their way. |

Got all four of these in the mail today and am going to curl up on my back porch and dig in. |

My husband gave this bouquet to me yesterday on our brunch date. Yes, he really is that wonderful. |
Gosh, I feel better already.
What wipes away your Monday blahs?
