Hump Day

Wednesdays are hump days. I have a love/hate relationship with Wednesdays.

Things I hate:

• they are my LONGEST day of the week with job 1/school/job 1/job 2/job 3
• SwingKid works a double shift. I only sometimes see him
• it's the middle. you're the furthest from the last weekend...but not quite to the current weekend.

Things I love:

• it's the day before Thursday and I LOVE Thursdays
• I usually get a lot done on Wednesdays
• I can catch up on all my tv shows
• i can hang out with Roommate R and not feel bad for neglecting SwingKid.
