Monday Monday
Ah Monday. How I love and despise you.
It’s been raining all weekend. Usually the gentle patter of rain lulls me into a deep sleep. Last night, it woke me every time drops would hit the window. When I rolled out of bed at 7:45 this morning, already 45 minutes late for work, the floor looked so far away.
Over the weekend the lovely wife and I went to her grandparent’s 50th wedding anniversary. At least I think it was the 50th, I don’t really pay attention to those sort of things. I played a little volleyball with a few of the regular players (LW’s brother, sister, their significant others) and a whole crop of cousins that I’d barely heard of, much less met. If I were a farmer, I’d have left the crop on the field a little longer to mature. The fun was a little dulled by having to play twice as hard for half the effect (when volleying for serve takes 15 minutes, you know it’s going to be a long game), but I still had a good time.
Yesterday, we came home, and took a little nap. I then played WoW for a few hours. A few hours longer than I should have, but it’s always a good time to hang out with my “online friends”. And I say “online friends” because over the years, they’ve become real friends, that I just happen to have met online, and only see once or twice a year, but I digress…
This morning, I paid pretty harshly for that good time. Arms and legs aching, the floor looked 100 miles away. I dropped down to it, winced and performed my morning ablutions.
I rolled in to work just under 2 hours late. Now, I’m writing this, because it seems more productive than just staring at the screen, not having any ambition to do any actual work.
I wonder if other bloggers read what they’ve written, before they post it. I know I don’t…
