Don't underestimate the importance of Wednesday

Weigh-in Monday with Mady revealed nothing exciting - not a gain or a loss. Whatev, right? But what it HAS revealed is my deep philosophical moment about days of the week. So as my daughter is nearby having one the most important conversations of her life with Thomas the Train on the PBS cartoon line-up, I ponder nearby and steal ideas from Wikipedia.

I thought as another Monday came by, "What evil genius invented the week and why the hell does it have to be 7 days exactly?" As I read the Wikipedia article, my eyes started rolling uncontrollably and my mind started to wander...hey, but if your attention span is longer, go ahead and check it out. Some crazy people back in wonderdays Egypt had a light-bulb moment and made up the 7-day week, I suppose. But what did catch my eye is that ancient Romans had an 8-day week! Thank god they changed it to 7 too. Can you imagine waiting for THAT week to end?

If those people were like me, we'd have a perfect 5-day week with only 3 working days! How awesome is that. I'm not a keen human nature observer or anything, but like anyone with free time on their hands, I do the normal "I wonder" and "Why?" stuff. Yet, you know thinking doesn't take that much time...hehe.

Speaking of days of the week, if you dread the beginning and celebrate the joyous end of the week...let me give you one of my bright ideas to calm your spirits. This is not a copyrighted gem, so feel free to share with other Debby Downers. When you reach Wednesday, remember that it is "HUMP DAY". I would use this when I was in school...Wednesday is right in the middle of the working week and the reason it is a hump day, is that until that day...you feel like you're climbing up and that the shit and toil of work won't end. After Wednesday however, everything's downhill...so work hard until hump day and afterwards, roll easily down towards the weekend. Not life-changing by any means but funny right?
