MONDAY; MY LEAST FAVOURITE DAY OF THE WEEK

I don't particularly enjoy Mondays. I am usually cranky and very difficult to approach on Mondays for reasons beyond comprehension. To be fair there’s not much to look forward to, I mean it's the beginning of a week of work that never seems to end.

Due to the nature of my work, there is barely any time left for me on weekends... until Sunday. How fair is that? But apparently, I get paid so I cannot complain.

For instance, I went to bed pretty late yesterday night and I still had to be up at 4:50 am just so I'd have enough time to make breakfast and prepare for the day. Don’t even get me started on Lagos traffic.

Before I go further, you have to promise not to laugh at me. I woke up to the sound of my alarm at 4:50 am, grumpy as usual. I tried getting off the bed but my feet wouldn’t move, my eyes were so heavy with sleep and I just thought to go back to bed for 15 minutes at the most.

I did the craziest thing ever. I put my phone on mute just so the loud ring wouldn't wake me up before my 15 minutes extra sleep time elapsed. I was so sure I wouldn’t oversleep. I woke up after what seemed like five minutes only to see that it was 6:15 am.

How? How exactly did that happen? I was confused at first because I could remember making breakfast, getting all dressed up, packing my bags, and even putting on my shoes. Apparently, it was all a dream. I don't think I have ever run as fast as I did to the bathroom.

Have you ever been in a situation where you plan to do a task but you fall asleep and then have a dream where you already took care of said task? Please tell me just so I know I am not the only one in this situation. The pain!

Long story short, I got dressed with the speed of light, couldn’t make breakfast, missed a free ride to work, had to face traffic because I didn’t leave home early enough, forgot my precious earrings but I still look good!

Besides me not getting enough sleep, there’s this spurious air of seriousness on Mondays. Everyone looks too serious. The roads are packed full, traffic is in the full blast (depends on where you live though).

Even my male colleagues are all suited up with tightly knotted ties that make them appear like they are about to choke. I think all of us females in this office have waist trainers on underneath our tight-fitting clothes. Lol. I’m struggling to breathe! But I will remain snatched, I will not take it off no matter what you say.

I also have to wear these 3-inch pencil heels that I hate so much just because I have to look Monday-ish. It’s almost impossible to believe these are the same people I work with on FRIDAYS; they’re all so chill and laid back.

Another thing I'll never understand is how short Sundays are, Sunday nights especially. I spend Sundays going to a physical church, or live streaming depending on what I have planned for the day, followed by laundry, then I have to meal prep for the week.

If I’m lucky I get an hour or two to sleep. This time, however, I spent my Sunday (yesterday) sleeping and eating junk because I was so stressed from all the work I had to do the week before.

Now I feel like there’s this partnership or agreement between the two days; Sunday and Monday, that supersedes our understanding. I mean, I sleep for just 2 minutes and the next thing I know, it is daybreak. Hold that thought, who gave Monday the permission to be so dang close to Sunday?

It’s noon and I'm already stressed from attending these meetings. I have a pile of workload to clear before the day ends and I have not even had breakfast.

Please tell me, what’s your least favorite day of the week?

Don’t even get me started on Lagos traffic.

I really hail you folks that live in lagos. Pls take care of your mental health 😆

For me I enjoy every day of the week. The only day I dread is a day I have to use the bank. Gosh!
