It is the end of the week for me because after the hockey there is not much to do but wait for Monday. The interaction period is over, all the people who like to endure themselves to you with insults and light ribbing are done. It is unlikely Sunday night will bring any epic notes in the memoirs of your friends i.e. nor your own when living vicariously through others.
Sunday is for rest apparently. Only no one knows how to rest anymore, I think this is why the week starts on calanders with Sunday, because we want to start with rest. However we only really rest when we can right before diving back in......
Weddings are also pretty common on Sundays. Is this because the start of the rest of your life needs to coincide with the start of a week? Or is it because you are laying to rest your independent and youthful life, as no doubt the cynic would agree with. Perhaps it is that we love the day of rest as we do a well trusted lover? Most likely we hope that we can rest assured that life will finally begin properly, in a partnership that will endure the work of the week until weekend can begin. Maybe it is just that airfare on mondays is cheaper?
We know the hardest worker in the house is the mother, and this is apprently mothers day, I know because I have been guilted three times the normal amount today. Hallmark aside she deserves a rest, I just do not see the value in flowers or cardboard.
As my friend once said, "work is the only four letter word you don't know..." I consider it a good thing, as well as true. It is also quite the coincidence as when I have to work I often let fly with every other four letter word I can think of, I learned that from my mother btw. Sunday is the day that people tend to agree with me, with the excpetion of the followers of the cult of "the Home Depot."
If I threw this all down on paper on a Sunday, that means I am working, perhaps it means I am getting a jump on the next week? Or I might be giving my brain a rest by taking the weight of these random thoughts out. I think I am ending my week on a good note.
Or maybe I am resting thoughts of falling in love at first sight, by redefining that as the end of a relationship as Sunday is redefined as the end of the week. Or at least it should be, I want to find anyone besides a calender worker who thinks Sunday is the start of the week, and has an IQ high enough to suggest the capacity of independent thought.
I would be lucky to have a love at first sight that continued on like the week continues on, but I think that Monday is the start of the week and I fall on a Sunday.
