Random Thoughts for Monday, September 23rd, 2024: Why Does Monday Even Exist?
Ah, Monday, the day that reminds us all that adulthood is mostly just being really tired and wondering if it’s acceptable to drink coffee at 6 pm. After a blissful weekend of pretending responsibilities don’t exist, we’re abruptly yanked back into the abyss that is Monday. And let’s be honest, Mondays have never been great.
