Ways NOT to Start the Week

  • Saying goodbye to spouse at 4:30, before you're even awake, and promising to miss him until he returns at the end of the week.
  • Pouring rain that has you soaked, despite your umbrella, by the time you reach your car.
  • Driving through said rain on the interstate, with drivers who do not understand that flooded roadways should result in a decrease of speeds.
  • Ruining a favorite pair of flats by stepping in the largest water puddle between parking lot and front door of building.
  • Arriving to work with hair already frizzed and drippy
  • Having your boss say, "Oh, how about doing that observation I was supposed to do last week at 9:00am tomorrow morning?"
  • Refereeing the latest installment of the War of He Said She Said with 9 and 10 year-old champion fighters.
  • The start of the next graduate class.

And the way to end a rough start:

  • Clearing rain in time for a spectacular sunset
  • Class getting out early
  • Easy dinner preparation
  • Lavendar bath soak
  • Goodnight Nobody by Jennifer Weiner
  • Early bed
