I will tell you why I am having such a bad case of the Mondays today. I was an over achiever this weekend. I worked my tushy off in the garden getting ready for being gone next week at Disneyland. I had done a lot of planting in the garden, but had been watering most of it by hand. After a wonderful lazy Sunday morning I went to work in the beautiful sunshine. That was my first mistake. The sunshine is great, but wearing a hat would have been smart. I have a glorious farmers tan going right now. Getting all the plants set up wasn’t enough though. I also decided to tackle a few huge projects that filled up my yard waste bin to the brim. It never occurs to me that maybe I should take it a little easy so I will be able to function on Monday. Instead of recharging over the weekend, I pushed myself to the limit. I think I am going to start a new movement where everyone stays in bed all day long on Mondays and are required to accomplish nothing. No Movement Mondays!
