No one likes Mondays, but I bet my reason for not liking them is different to yours, the complete opposite in fact. You don't like Mondays because it's the start of another working week; 5 days of school/college/university/work, until the weekend rolls around again. I don't like Mondays because I can't go to school/college/university/work. Come 9 O'Clock on a Monday morning when I see all the commuters trudging down my street in to town, on their way to work, it's a sharp reminder of how different my life is to everyone else's. What I would love more than anything is to have to force myself up at stupid O'Clock in the morning, make myself eat breakfast, walk to university in the pouring rain, have to sit there damp for the rest of the day before dragging myself home in the dark. I know that the grass seems greener on the other side but at the moment I can't think of anything better. Don't worry, my friends still have all their rights to complain about this - I know that after a week of this routine I probably would be!
Sorry for the lack of a post yesterday and replies to messages and emails (I've been getting so many lovely ones, thank you so much to everyone who's sent me anything, short or long!) but the tiredness from the radiotherapy is starting to take hold, I can't seem to stay awake for more than 10 minutes at a time!

And mother feels so shocked
ReplyDeleteFather’s world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
Sweet 16 ain’t that peachy keen
Now that ain’t so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons
'Cuz there are no reasons
What reasons do you need?
Sorry folks but these are the lyrics so a very well chosen post Ells.....
I've been very bitter today because I've been soaked on 4 separate cycle trips today, so good point I'll try and enjoy the next 2 trips a bit more! Hope you got the links I sent you earlier xxx
ReplyDeleteGood lyrics Jim - showing our age!!!

My Monday morning starts tomorrow as had today off work. But I shall think of this when on the way and it is (likely) chucking it down with rain! I cannot promise that by the end of the week I wont be wanting to complain about it though! Hopefully skype you soon :) Lots of love xxx
ReplyDeleteI must admit my Monday morning did not enthuse me, dull and damp, with a report on uninterrupted power supply to review - still I did it (and learnt something) and now I am in Barcelona where the weather is a little nicer! Love U Bob
ReplyDeleteOnce again thanks for the inspiration lovely girl... you remind us so well to count our blessings - and when I do you are one of them xxx Suzy
ReplyDeletePoignant words Ella and ones I shall think of tomorrow when I'm getting wound up in my world - I know I have been inwardly sighing today but right now can't even remember why...what a waste of my time and effort that was then!
ReplyDeleteHope amongst your sleepy moments that you found some simple things today that have made you smile.
