Distraction
Do you ever get so distracted by a thought or feeling that you seem to not notice, or worry, or think, or care about anything else?
Sometimes my mind gets so overpowered by a thought, I don’t think I’m even being myself anymore.
Alternators
I’m not exactly sure what an alternator does. I’ve had it go out in other cars I’ve owned. I know it affects the battery… and it ruins my whole life.
In case you can’t tell already, I’m a little bitter. Hopefully my car will be fixed today.
Weekends are a drag!
We all know that Friday is the international party day. FGIF. The weekend has arrived. YAY. No work for 2 days. So why is it that I feel totally annoyed, distracted and depressed on Fridays?
I kind of wake up with a little more energy, I seem to have an extra little kick in my step. But, I still have to get through the WHOLE DAY before Friday actually turns into something exciting.
I find it so difficult to work on Fridays. I don’t want to be at work. I want to be lounging around somewhere. I want to be snuggled up on the couch with my husband. I want to be anywhere other than work!
Also, I rarely do anything on Saturday that’s worth waiting the whole week for. I have a routine on the weekends that rarely changes. My husband works on Saturdays, so generally I sleep in until about 8. Yes, that is sleeping in to me. I just can’t sleep past 8, I have a mental alarm clock. I clean in the morning. And I don’t just mean straighten up. I’m somewhat of a clean freak, and if there’s anything I learned from my mom, its how to really clean. I also do laundry and go to the grocery store. Maybe do a little shopping if there’s something I need or want. And usually I make a “Real Dinner” on Saturday nights, just because I actually have the time. Then my husband gets home, we eat dinner, usually watch a movie and go to bed.
Sundays I go to church twice. There’s generally not enough time to do anything spectacular between services so we just kind of lounge around. This is a routine that won’t change, but I have no issues with Sunday. They’ve been this way my whole life. I’ve come to learn, Sundays are not about me. They’re about God.
But, do you see how crazy this is… On Fridays, I want to be lounging around because I can’t. On Sundays, I actually get to lounge around with my husband all day. But on Saturdays, I want to be doing something with my weekends. (If I have something to do on Saturdays, this whole blog need not exist.) But if I don’t have something planned, which is most Saturdays, How do I fix this problem?
I have several theories:
- If my husband had Saturdays off, I think that might help. We might actually get to do things together.
- Maybe I should start cleaning on Sundays.
- Maybe I should take a class
- or find a hobby. Does anyone know of a hobby that won’t take time out of any other day of my week?
- I should work part-time instead of full time
Any Suggestions on how to beat my Friday sadness?
