Monday again. A friend of mine love Mondays. Is he nuts? He gave me some pointers on how to enjoy Mondays more. He told me to start the week with meditation or exercise. But I can't take the Hendricks bottle to work with me to keep pouring. He agreed. Plan enjoyable activities. Well, I try. Me and my man would stay in bed and have sex...but work. He saw my point. Embrace self-care. Hell, I do that all week. How about not over scheduling your day. The only thing to get scheduled on Mondays is lots of coffee. He said how about preparing for Monday on Fridays. WHAT? Hell no, it's Friday, I don't want to think about Monday when I haven't even left the building for the weekend yet! How about starting Monday traditions, he says. Well that goes back to suggestion 2. The point is not getting out of bed, duh. Ok, well why not adjust your mindset? There isn't anything to adjust, I HATE Mondays. He told me to go fuck myself, which again takes us right back to point 2...sex.
Ahhhhh, visuals....
Here's to another week!
I found the key to happy Mondays, it took me 65 years.
ReplyDeleteYou mean i have to wait 20 more????
DeleteEven in retirement, Mondays can be a drag at times.
ReplyDeleteAin't that the truth!
DeleteOh if I have to get up Mondays I would not mind them one bit.
DeleteThere is no escaping Mondays.... Hell, even retired I don't seem to be able to escape them.
ReplyDeleteA lovely mood board, as usual.
ReplyDeleteI love the ways you answered your friend. Although I love my job, just as much I think you do yours, there's just no way I can pimp myself into being jolly about going back to work after a two days break.
Telling myself that I'm useful (of course I am, I'm me!), that my colleagues are nice to work with (and surely me to work with too), etc will never compare to waking up on a Monday morning realizing it's a day off. And I'm certain that my early retirement, one year from now, will prove me true :-)
You're absolutely right handsome. I absolutely love my job, and believe it or not I even have the option to set my own schedule, so technically I can go in much later if I wanted. But I'm always extreme. I say get up and just rip the Band-Aid off and get it over with! I unfortunately have at least 15 years left for retirement.
DeletePenultimate photo us 'sweeter' than any of the foodie shots - and the Pussy by candelight certainly deserves a mention too.
ReplyDeleteOh Ray beard you like that one did you? I just adore black cats, I had to include it. I hope all is well across the pond with you and the kitties? I'm hoping you're looking forward to a nice Autumn season.
DeleteJ'adore votre hommage à Octobre avec les cinqs sorcièrers, les couleurs automne, les papillons, le mignon chat noir, le dessin animé, la vue de Rome, la tatin aux pêches, les doggies et l'homme razzmatazz :)

I am totally with you about Mondays. Every time, I feel the weekend hasn't even truly begun - and, BAM! The alarm's going off...
ReplyDeleteOh, to win the lottery and never have to be bothered by it again. Sigh. Jx
You and me both gin blossom. I don't think I've ever seen two people hate Mondays more than you and I. But I'll tell you, if I win that big jackpot Lottery sometime, I'll email you for your address and cut you a check for a couple million! Then you can call into work and tell him to sod off.
DeleteI've often had people ask "wouldn't you come into work, just to gloat as you resign?"
DeleteMy answer: "If I won millions in the Lottery, you wouldn't see my fucking arse for dust!" The HR department could spend the rest of their lives trying to find me... Jx
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You both!
DeleteMy brother loved working. He would say, "Thank gawd it's Monday."
ReplyDeleteWHAT?!?!?!? He's one of those happy Monday people? If you tell me he wears Crocs that's it!
DeleteAhhhh, yes, the spooky season is truly upon us... your first photo reminds me of the surprise treat a friend brought me yesterday: Tiger Tiger ice cream! True orange and black liquorice -- my fave -- so my week is off to a good start. Dragging one's ass outta bed on a Monday morning is lousy, so be happy that it's not -40 with a half inch of rime ice to be scraped off your windshield, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're only joking that you had rime ice on your windshield???
DeleteAnd you had me with the tiger tiger ice cream until you mentioned licorice. I can't stand anything licorice flavor.
Some beautiful autumnal imagery here! I always enjoy your mood boards.
ReplyDeleteIn this time, I'm always tickled when you stop in. I hope your recovery is going well.
DeleteChilling and sexy , just how I likeit
ReplyDeleteI hate when people try to fix things that can’t be fixed!
ReplyDeleteAll your mood boards are gorgeous but I love this one! I absolutely love that house at the top of the steps. Looks like a house I'd live in when I become a recluse. I love the Bride of Frankenstein additions.
ReplyDeleteYour whole opening monologue made me cackle! And this mood board I love the desserts, that house at the top of the steps, who doesn't love a puppy pile? And I'm loving that bedroom. But my favorite picture is the striped socks with the heels! Happy Monday.
ReplyDeleteNow you know I'm digging Mr Pino and his partner with the baseball cap! Yummy that's all the dessert I need. But I actually like the black carousel horses those are cool. How cool would it be to see a whole entire black carousel during the Halloween season?
ReplyDeleteI'm not a Monday person either, babes.
ReplyDeleteIt's jus so MUCH work to get back into the groove of things! I love Fridays, though..
And sex? Yes! Any day ending in 'y'.
XOXO
The only way I get through Mondays is knowing that I don't work on Tuesdays.
