The Mondays

"Somebody has a case of the Mondays."

What is it about Mondays? Some of us have jobs Monday through Friday. Some of us work through the weekends and have Mondays off. I for one, is stuck in a Monday through Friday job, 9 to 5. I miss the days of working weekends and having the weekdays off once in awhile. I can see why some people "fake" their sickness. I remember the first time I did that. I felt guilty. Hahaha. I don't like liars, but yet, I was one, just to be off of work for one day.

Funny thing, I don't do that anymore. I'm stuck at my desk working away being productive. Just this past December, I was in a Rollover accident. My brother had to help me get out of the ride. I was taken to the Emergency Room via ambulance on a Sunday morning. Damn weather.

The Next day, Monday, I called my boss and told her what happened. Eventually, my job told me to take the week off. I only lasted two days at home. Bored out of my mind! I went back to work, two days later, battered and bruised. People thought I was crazy coming back in. "You should have just taken the whole week off!"

I don't know if they knew what was going on in mind, but why should I stay at home and let this "tragedy" beat me down. I wasn't about to be succumbed to the accident. There was no way this accident was going to control my life. Sure I bumped my head, bled a little, and froze my butt off in the cold mud, but "what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger."

A new life, a new beginning for me. I was taken back to the accident scene, picked up some loose change from what was left, and told myself that I was lucky. Ironic that we did a complete 180 turn on the road, slid onto oncoming traffic, then flipped. I was dangling upside down. Kind of reminds me of life. Sometimes we "think" we have control over life, like the way we control a vehicle, but the way life turns you around, flips you, and dangles you upside down until all your change falls out... sounds like life to me.

Another Monday, another adventure.

I'm glad this Monday is about over. A word to the wise, make sure you log off your computer everytime, or else. But that is yet another story for next time...

Live your life.
