The Chronic Sadness of Late Sunday

From The Tension Builds (It’s Almost Monday): 

THE feeling is familiar: you are savoring the last of a leisurely Sunday lunch or a long walk in the park when you abruptly realize that your weekend will be over in a matter of hours. In an instant, you are deep in what John Updike called the “chronic sadness of late Sunday afternoon.” As you envision the to-do pile on your desk, the meetings on your calendar, and that trip to Topeka on Tuesday, your mood shifts again, your muscles tense and your head begins to ache.

I’m a bit too late for this feeling as it’s well into Monday morning, but thought it was worth sharing.

    In the fall I lean on the NFL to help get me through this tough stretch.

    I actually hate Sundays more than I hate Mondays.

    for me it used to start right after lunch, when I realised that Monday was less than 24 hours away.
