Blue Thursdays...

[JennyOmanHill]

I never enjoyed Thursdays for some reason. As I've gotten older, I am coming close to "hating" them!

Things have been tough lately, and I'm already feeling a sense of "holiday lonliness". Thursdays now stand out as a reminder that another week is almost through (in my case without a job!), and haunts me as I realize how many things I did NOT get accomplished this week.

I used to suffer "Sunday night blues" when I went to school, but Thursday has taken over as my "worst feeling" day of the week.

Do any of you have a day of the week that is particularly dreadful for you?

Monday's, and the holidays that are coming. Christmas eve and day are the worst. Alcoholic family took care of those. Monday is the day of the week that i panic and realize how far behind i am in everything and project my inability to catch up over the coming week. I usually do catch up, but i know one of these monday's i will be right and all the stuff i have to do won't get done.

Tuesday...

Monday isn't so bad because the hubby was home on Sunday so I got to see him, but Tuesday I realize I won't really see him again (except for an hour or two) until the next Sunday.....

Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down...

...particularly Mondays, which are a total bitch at work.


Though, this week, I'm having a blue everyday right now.


But, it'll get better...eventually...

Jenny,

When I was in school, I always had those dreaded Sunday night blues. Even though I'm out of school for quite a number of years, I am still singing the blues on Sunday. Unfortunately, my son is like that now. I don't know if he feels that way because somehow my blues rubbed off onto him or if he's just like that.

Yes, Thursday's are my trouble day. I always wake up with a terrible headache on those days. For the life of me, I just can't figure out why. Maybe it's because the stress of the week has finally caught up with me...but who knows why?

I wish you lots of luck with the job search as I'm in your position also. This is my first school year not teaching in some capacity. At first I was enjoying my leisure time, but now I'm looking for things to keep me occupied. I think we both need a happy medium. lol

Good day to you and everyone here at Lit.

Thursdays are good for me

because thursdays are pay day. I personally don`t care for monday`s and sunday is close to a dislike as well. Yet I guess any day can be miserable depending on the circumstances. Later.

Holidays for a lot of us (especially this season) appear to be stressful. I expect a lonely, quiet one this year (which might not be a bad thing!).

Yes, Enchanted... those Sunday night blues continue; I have another friend who hasn't worked in years who still feels that "dread" feeling on Sundays. My Sunday nights have gotten better since I got HBO!! I figured in my later years that there will always be a "Monday", even if it's a Tuesday (first day back at school/work/whatever....).

Just wrote another poem trying to cope with this Thursday! I also remembered I was born on a Thursday; wonder if THAT has something to do with it?

There isn't a particular day of the week that gets to me....but starting in October I start getting a bit of the blues. I don't know why....I think it's because all during my childhood, the fall was the sign of the holidays coming - and with divorced parents, the holidays weren't always what they were "supposed" to be.

This year, the holidays are a bitch for me. Having recently been laid off, and what with the move taking all of my savings, I can't even afford to get little gifts for my nieces and nephews - let alone know how I'm going to pay my rent and bills. It really bugs me that I can't contribute to their joy of the holidays - not to mention gifts for my family and friends that mean so much to me...because they've been so supportive during the past few months. I love them all so much....and I know that I can tell them...but I love the unspoken "I love you" that is in thoughtful, specially selected gifts.

Other than that, I'm happier than I've been in a LONG time - but October through January 1st always gets to me.

My best to all of you during your rough times - whether they be specific days, weeks or months. Keep a good thought in your head and a smile on your face....and you'll get through it. At least that's how I get through it.

To quote Douglas Adams, "Fucking Thursdays"

 

[JennyOmanHill]

Is it really Friday?

Thank you Nigel for sharing your holiday blues. For many years Holidays have meant loss and sadness for me as well. Like you, this season "gift giving" is almost nonexistent for me. Although I dislike saying "goodbyes", I won't be sorry to see 2002 on our calendars.

I am a "Hitchhiker's" fan, LadyDarkFire, and will enjoy searching out the Adams' quote! Gosh, we lost him too this year!!

There are people on your list who think YOU are the best present they could ever get.

Thank you for the reminder, carrie-on - I really appreciate it. I know that intellectually, but it doesn't make my heart know it any better. I just think of the kids (because, after all, Christmas is mainly for them) - and it bugs me. But hugs to you...and thank you.

Jenny - hugs to you too. It's the only gift I can afford right now...but I think they're pretty bitchin'......

You are very welcome, Nigel. Have you thought about making something for them? Homemade gifts are sometimes better because they are from the heart.

I have thought about making them something - am not really a "crafty" kind of person....and have NO idea what I could make them. Also, affording materials to make something is kind of problematic right now....

Thank you, though....I really appreciate it!

Huggs back, Nigel! Hugs can be the nicest gift anyone receives. Think I'll send some long distance ones as gifts this season!

I hate Tuesdays. What an annoying pointless day.
