My Monday Rant: My Week, a short story made long...

Monday it is, shooting from the hip, here goes another rant!

?

As I pick my laptop up this morning, I don't necessarily feel empty-headed in what I can write about, I just feel a few of what I wanna rant about is not "appropriate", just maybe not right now for me. That goes against my "shooting from the hip" intro, doesn't it? Oh well, the key word/s is/are, "FOR ME"... And as I look elsewhere for the safe waters to navigate, I settle for a chronology...?

Monday?

The morning starts off as it has for the previous Mondays since the 1st of Jan... #MyMondayRant. If I haven't said this before, or whether I said it... this... is... fun!

It turns out to be an ordinary day, like most, I had intended to wake up very early to hit the punching bag, besides ranting here, that is... But maybe, and just maybe, I felt sorry for the punching bag and gave it a pass, why should it suffer for nothing or something that is none of its business? But I'll get back to this soon, down the line somehow! Well, work is work... maybe I should write a different series on Fridays about work... me thinks! This thought feels quite enticing I should say, but let's see what is what; I will think about it, possibly for as long as it took me thinking about writing the first one in this series. Maybe I'll start in 2026. "Who says I can't get stoned, plan a trip to Japan alone? It doesn't matter even if I go." ***Courtesy of John Meyer*** Yes, I do love music as well. In the evening, back at home, "The Big Sister" (my eldest daughter) comes running to me, saying there's a moth in her bedroom... my immediate response is to go and check what that is. To my surprise, it is just a butterfly, but she insists, it's a moth. I honestly do, still, not know what the difference is until now. So in my "ignorance", I go, "Why would you be so afraid of a mere butterfly?"... she looks at me and laughs, then she says, "Why don't you pet a snake?" Funniest thing I heard the whole day!!! ?????????? This... is what one looks forward to coming back home to everyday!?

Tuesday?

Saved for the work series, that might only feature future events, which means events of this Tuesday might not even make it... well, a dreamer does... exactly that! Dreams!

?

Wednesday?

Manchester United is playing Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup... it looms over our heads, as Manchester United Fans, that if we win, our next opponents are Liverpool. If you're a soccer fan, you know that is HUGE! The game kicks off and it goes at it does, and in the end we win 1-0. The funny thing is that EVERYONE says we were hardly convincing, but I wholeheartedly and honestly believe we were not trying to convince anyone or everyone at that, we were just trying to win the game. Win the game, we did. Glory, glory Man United... as the Reds go marching, oh oh on! Oh... there was work as well!

?

Thursday and Friday?

Busier than normal at work, but we'll leave this for the work series that might never happen.?

Saturday

So we're walking around the shop, and my wife wants to buy these pink pants; she picks them up and goes to fit and she likes them. We're still not done, we're looking for some stuff for the kids, so she hands me these pants while she looks around, and I say, "Ha! Not a chance, imagine me walking around holding pink pants!". So we split up and I go to the men's section and my wife and the kids go to the women and kid's section. As I'm going around, on the men's section moments later, everyone keeps giving me a glance, everyone is curious why I chose pink pants I guess. Later in the day, we're having a drink or 12, or at least I am... and reminiscing about the perfect start to the season for my F1 Team, Redbull Racing's clean sweep of a 1-2 finish and the fastest lap! Comes the time to eat and I'm feeling like a steak, but my wife says we should get chicken, you know, for the whole family... I'm like, "No chicken for me, I feel like a steak!" So about 40 minutes later, as I'm finishing up this chicken drumstick, I'm reminded of the pink pants... ???????? Got it??? ***Courtesy of Larry the Cable Guy*** Yes, I love stand up comedy as well.

Sunday?

So... as a Man United fan, I know there was a Sunday but I don't know if I remember much about it. You see, sometimes I have selective amnesia, that I am not so much in control of. Trust me, everyone needs that from time to time. Still, there must have been a Sunday, I mean, I'm here typing these thoughts and words, this must be a Monday. OR not? Forget about Sunday, just look back at Saturday... fun day that! Who cares about soccer anyway? F1 is the new soccer! ?? If you didn't know, now you do... you are welcome! Namaste!

THIS Monday

Here goes my #MyMondayRant, and the jury is still out on that decision to go for that punching bag. In any case, Welcome to March!?
