Has anyone seen my Monday?

I had to be at work particularly early today for a weeklong special event. I also had to work through lunch and I wrapped up my day much later than usual. Now I am left wondering where my Monday went. It sped by so quickly and in such a sleepy blur that I missed it completely. The day literally kicked my butt and I suspect the rest of the week will be just as brutal.

I am sitting here, finding myself so very tired that I can literally feel each and every muscle in my body melting into the chair beneath me.

It's a good tired, an accomplished tired, but I know that I need to regroup and prepare for another long day tomorrow. There is no getting around that.

I realize now that I didn't summarize the weekend and I think that is because it too sped by much too quickly. On Friday I brought dinner home for Cynical and I; afterward we hibernated in the house, avoiding the intense heat.

On Saturday I went to a retreat for a non-profit board and slipped out in time for us to drive to visit Cynical's family. That evening I caught up on my "to do" list and napped until I was literally sore from sleep. On Sunday I arose early to prepare for a visit by Cynical's family.

After their visit, we prepared our traditional summer Sunday evening dinner of fresh vegetables. There is nothing, and I mean nothing, better than fresh sweet corn smothered in butter. The evening passed quietly and soon we were beginning another work week.

Here's to a very hectic week and a glorious weekend to follow.
