Monday Came Too Soon

By Joe

Monday came a little too soon this week.

I actually slept later than usual this morning. I just wasn’t ready for Monday to arrive. Normally, Isabella doesn’t let me sleep past 5:00 a.m., but I must have been especially stubborn today because, after her third or fourth attempt to wake me up, she finally gave up. I was drifting in and out of sleep, so I don’t remember exactly how many times she tried, but I do know I didn’t actually wake up until my alarm went off at 5:30.

Now I feel like I’m running behind—late getting up, late writing this post, and hopefully not late getting to work. At the moment, I’m still waiting for my coffee to do its job and convince me that it’s actually Monday.

I hope everyone has a great week!

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe
