Case of the Mondays

Some days you have it and some days you just don’t.

Yesterday (Monday) was one of those days where the slightest task was a struggle. Mondays are always never easy, but it was exceptionally bad yesterday.

As I reflect back on the weekend, it’s pretty easy to pinpoint why.

Friday night, dinner and drinks with friends. In bed right before midnight.

Saturday afternoon, college football at a bar with friends starting at 3:00pm.

Saturday evening, my University of Washington Huskies game started at 7:30pm, got delayed nearly 3 hours due to lightning and resumed up again at 10:30pm. In bed right before 2:00am Sunday morning. The perfect storm.

While this may seem like a normal weekend for people in their early 20s, I’m starting to realize that I simply can’t hang anymore.

I’m almost 30 and It’s time to listen to my body more. Two nights out, especially a real late one on Saturday, really affects my Mondays now. More sleep and less drinks.
