I find now that I work from home the Sunday scaries take on a whole new meaning for me-it’s more like how am I going to be productive from bed?! 
anyways, I dug up this old article I read earlier this year, apparently 80% of adults worry about the upcoming work week! @Dragonflygirl82

Lol right!
It’s a strange phenomenon. I’ve experienced it since I was kid, when it was school instead of work. School and office work, two soul-sucking yet necessary evils. Then I get into the aforementioned rabbit hole and get thinking, we work and work and work in 5-day (and sometimes 6 or 7 day) cycles, with the promise of the weekend to cling to, or the promise of the next vacation or day off – only to then be thrown into the cycle again. Before we know it, decades have gone by.
We do this over and over for 40 years or more, until we retire or croak. I know society mightn’t be able to work without such structure, but I often question it. It just seems bleak. I get too wrapped up in it though! And I’m also working to not be so pessimistic…bit of a downer there, sorrryyy!

You, my friend, hit the nail right on the head. Half the reason why I couldn’t be a chef anymore was because of the hours. I said fuck this I’m going back to school and starting my own business. I wrote something interesting the other day kind of based around what we are talking about…
There are 2 kinds of people:
There are some who love their 9–5 jobs. They don’t complain. They’re pretty happy where they are. Their 9–5 has given them enough money to build a decent life. They’ve crafted a perfect work-life balance and they’re grateful.
But there are also people who’s entire meaning in life has been ripped apart by their 9–5 jobs. People who have lost their identity chasing it.
But It is upto to the individual to recognise what category they’ll fall under.
Life is an exploratory experience. Commiting to work more than half of it behind a desk is a big deal. It can be overwhelming.
You don’t take anything with you when you die. It’s such a clichéd thing to say, but some things in life are clichéd for a reason, because they are undeniable truths that are very frequently denied.
We must always remember we can leave something behind-don’t let your statement be written by someone else

Yay: My back is feeling a whole lot better
Nay: There was a mini Trump rally in my town square, about 12-15 middle aged folks with the usual flags etc but also a megaphone and large portable speaker. Across the street, two kids (and I mean kids, had to be no more than 14 or 15) holding up homemade cardboard BLM signs, and a sign asking for peace – not saying anything, just standing. I was stopped in traffic there for several minutes, each party on either side of me. Well this group of “grown adults” on the rally side, including megaphone guy, took it upon themselves to start mocking and antagonizing these kids. Stuff that was legitimately and unnecessarily nasty. Really pretty disheartening. I rolled up my window on the obnoxious side, and yelled to the kids through the other window to keep doing their thing and stand tall. Looking back I wish I had said something out the other window too. But I was stuck sitting there and the way things are right now…who knows what they would’ve done. Maybe nothing. Maybe not.
Politics aside - nobody has the right to intimidate ANYONE. A group of grown adults intimidating children that they outnumber five times over is about as low as it gets. Real tough guys. It’s just been on my mind all day, bothering me.
I always loathe election season, but christ, I feel like this country is a powder keg and the fuse ends on election day.

Jeesh that is nasty. Good for you though encouraging the kids… I bet they’ll remember that more than the dumbass with the megaphone.

When your “nay” is actually kind of a “yay”, I’d say things are going pretty well! Glad to read it!
