Sunday evening

Here we are again. Sunday evening. The most depressed moment of the week, isn't it?

Today is a bank holiday in the UK ... so a lot of public places will be closed and no work today! I like being at work though and I enjoy my job a lot.

I don't usually feel blue as much as feeling a bit anxious on Sunday evenings (and sometimes on weekday evenings too)... worrying if I've set my alarm, worrying about getting enough sleep, etc. But I actually feel a bit excited and look forward to being at work as I love being around animals and it's good exercise.

I went to work all day on Saturday though (which I don't usually do,) so yesterday (Sunday) felt like it was Saturday, and today (Bank Holiday Monday) now feels like a Sunday.

2018 UK Bank and Public Holidays:

New Year's Day: Monday 1 January.
Good Friday: Friday 30 March.
Easter Monday: Monday 2 April.
Early May bank holiday: Monday 7 May.
Spring bank holiday: Monday 28 May.
Summer bank holiday: Monday 27 August.
Christmas Day: Tuesday 25 December.
Boxing Day: Wednesday 26 December.

Edit: Just because I don't have to go out to work today, I still have to do the housework - and I've done a lot of spring-cleaning recently, but still have more to finish.

I find housework therapeutic in a way as I like to feel organised, (although I can think of plenty of far more interesting and fun things in life than doing hours of ironing, dusting, vacuuming, cleaning out the fridge and cooker, etc,) but it's easier to do cleaning work whilst listening to YT documentaries or listening to some music, so it keeps you awake and you don't feel tired from boredom.

C'est la vie!

I'm self employed, and I'm very lenient about my own work hours, I haven't felt that Late Sunday - Early Monday blues in a while WOOT!

I used to have that feeling when I was in elementary school and high school. I was all like, "Tomorrow is gonna suck hairy balls." I didn't have that depressing feeling during vacation or since. Life sucks when you have curfews, bed time, and all that other shit. That Sunday evening depressing feeling was a reminder that life revolves around the decisions of others. That's a terrible feeling. Now Sunday evening is like any other evening to me.

Same. I used to get an sick feeling of dread, high anxiety, fears and worries on Sunday evenings when I was in my junior and secondary schools. I would procrastinate and then panic and suddenly do my revision, or do my school homework at the last minute...

It used to annoy my mother that I'd prefer to watch TV or play with my friends, and would leave my maths homework to the last minute... (so I could stay-up a bit later past bedtime!)

I couldn't enjoy the TV programmes much though as it was constantly on my mind, 'Oh gosh, I still need to do my homework... if I don't do it, the teacher might tell me off tomorrow in front of the classroom... '

When my Mum would switch-off the TV, she'd say to me, 'It's now bedtime'.

I'd feel sad and afraid and would want to stay-up for another hour. So then I'd quietly say, 'But Mum.. I need to do my homework...' She'd tell me off in annoyance... but then she'd sit with me at a table to explain things as she's very good at maths, so we could quickly do it together... and I could stay-up a bit longer!

I learned in later years that getting the school homework done asap was the better option to get it off my mind, so I could feel more relaxed once it was all done and out of the way.

During high school I would do my homework at the last minute on Sunday evening. Often times I wouldn't be able to to finish and so I'd copy from someone in the cafeteria in the morning. In elementary school I had to do my homework as soon as I got home but in high school I was too old to have someone look over my shoulder and so naturally I'd do everything in the last minute.

lol... just hope that the person who you copied from didn't make a load of mistakes.

I remember at my very first primary school when I was 5 and new to school... I wasn't paying much attention in the classroom to what was being taught and played with my fingers instead.

I felt nervous and totally confused and bewildered as I didn't understand what I was supposed to write in the square boxes of the infant level exercise work-books that we were given.

So I copied everything that my new school friend (who I was sitting next to) wrote in the boxes and lines and squares in her book.

Then I stood behind my friend in a little queue to have the work marked at the teacher's desk... and the teacher was marking everything she'd written in the numbers and shapes for the boxes as all incorrect.

She then noticed the exact same mistakes with my work - and then she said that one of us was copying the other. I was too young at the time to understand why copying work wasn't ok.

So after that, our teacher said we could no longer sit next to each other in the classroom and I felt sad and also worried.

Who would I copy from now? *panic feeling* I thought the teacher was being mean to not let us sit together. I didn't understand it.

I didn't realise it at the time, but the teacher did me a favour though - because she helped me to understand what I was supposed to do as I then tried to guess the answers and got them incorrect... and so after she'd helped me to understand the exercises, I then was able to learn how to work things out and concentrate better.
