I didn’t go to work today. <\/font><\/p>\n

It’s a dark, unusually cold and rainy morning in Southern California, a Monday. The first day of the work week is usually a bit of a struggle because two days of being out of sync with my workday routines tends to throw me just a bit. It’s not that I ever have a case of Monday blahs, it’s just a psychological phenomenon I’ve had to deal with for as long as I can remember. Monday mornings are like turning the clocks ahead to Standard Time every seven days. It’s not big deal but merely a nagging one day oddity which I shouldn’t have to worry about for awhile.<\/p>\n

I lost my job this past Friday.<\/p>\n

I have always had the odd (you can say “weird”) habit of viewing my emotional reactions to things from a perspective of detachment. <\/font><\/p>\n

I watch and try to analyze my emotions even as I am experiencing them. Many years ago I started kibbitzing my marriage counselor about how she might help me survive and prosper through my divorce. Now I am trying to understand why I am having my standard workday Monday funk even though I’m not working.<\/p>\n

It’s cold and rainy. Did I mention I lost my job?<\/p>\n

I’m going to study this for a bit because introspection is a tricky business. False conclusions beg for sudden embrace.<\/font><\/p>\n

I love<\/font> cold, rainy mornings. Truth be told, I liked the people very much but that job was very frustrating. So, why the funk?<\/p>\n

Did I mention it’s Monday? That’s all it is. Just Monday.<\/p>\n

You can overthink this crap to death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
