The Sunday Conundrum

To be honest, Sunday is probably my least favorite day of the week. Nothing stands between you and a new week. It isn't Monday, when you have resigned yourself to an entire work week ahead...and it isn't another week day in which you can say to yourself "one more down, getting closer to the weekend!". And of course it isn't like Friday or Saturday when you know you can stay out late and do whatever, because of course you will have the next day to recuperate.

Instead, Sunday is a day for me that creates a weekly conundrum. It is usually a day that I decide to just relax and not force myself to leave the house or get anything done. However, Sunday can also be a very restless day because of that. And the weird thing is, I feel restless and bored, and yet, at the same time, I still don't want to do anything. It's that in-between feeling. I say to myself "I'm tired, it's been a long week, I just want to relax and catch up on that DVD I have been wanting to watch, or read that book I have been meaning to finish". But oddly enough, I never get around to those things on Sunday. Usually I spend the entire day frittering my time away with nothing to show for it. And that is the feeling I hate; intense boredom mixed with sheer laziness.

I haven't had a job in a few months, but I still have the Sunday conundrum. It never fails. I'm hoping to one day find a way to enjoy Sundays more. However, I'm not going to hold my breath.
