Sunday

Yes, Sunday morning. The first day of the week and the first post on my blog. And yes, I am worn out.....

Most of my life...all 58 1/2 years of it (lawd, it just occurred to me that is over 1/2 century!) (I continue with dismay..) most of my life, the first day of the week was Sunday. I don't know when it happened, but now many calendars start with Monday. We all know "why" that is and has everything to do with corporate and "business".

For those that don't give a hoot or a holler about Sunday being the first day of the week for ohhhhh how many centuries? I suppose it is easier for the corporate types to track their very busy schedules. I guess. For those of us who know Sunday as the first day of the week, and have known that up close and personal for, yes, over half a century (!), as well as knowing it from the considerable reading and research one has done and does, it makes using a calendar with Monday as the first day, almost next to impossible to schedule anything correctly.

And, basically, it manages to turn this world of mine upside down...and wears me out.

I thought, mistakenly, that with so much change in this life, it might be "nice", it might be helpful at the very least, to keep the days of the week..the order of, that is....intact...to keep something, something consistent. Would it really be too much to ask?

Last year's purse calendar purchase was, I thought, perfect. However, and it really must be my wornoutedness that blinds me to the fact that I purchased a Monday start of the week calendar! Yes!!!! More to just wear me out, I swear.

And I swear that I checked and double checked. But, no! I tell you, I am worn out. My subconsciousness wants so much for Sunday back as the first day, that my eyes will lie to me. My eyes and my brain lie to me!

Well, those lies will get your appointments on the wrong day and will get you the reputation of being "disorganized" (ohh lawd there's another topic for this worn out optimist) confused, and, yes,ultimately, worn out.

There I leave you kind reader (if any) on this Sunday morning, my first blog post on this first day of this week.

still worn out after a night's rest (sort of...more on that as well.)
