Before I got myself a full time job I never understood how Mondays could possibly be a bad thing. For one I liked school. I liked my teachers, I like being with my friends, I like having access to the library, and I liked the playground so very much. What was a day spent without getting to be the navigator of the USS Bigplaygroundlog with Captain Bestfriend commanding? But most of all Mondays were the days the library opened.
For some horrible reason all the libraries closed Sunday and most of them closed Saturday as well. Here I was with two whole twenty-four hour days and not one single open library within seventy miles! I know because I had all of the phone numbers and schedules memorized. All of the books I had checked out the previous Monday were finished and sitting in my bookbag gathering dust. So Monday dawned and I raced off to school. As soon as the final bell rang I was headed into town like a story seeking missile. There were books to be returned and more to check out. If I was lucky someone had donated a new Sci-fi book as I had read all the existing ones.
There were always #MondayMotivations for me as a child.
Getting a standard forty hour a week job did put a crimp in the system for me and I began to appreciate my Saturdays and Sundays a bit more. But the libraries still open on Monday.
