why Friday should be part of the weekend

Ok so I got up this morning and ate breakfast and in protest of my very being awake on Friday at 8am I got a stomach ache. As happened on Friday last week. Clearly this is a sign to return to bed and sleep in until an appropriate weekend sleeping in time. Nevertheless I went to the gym (where I benched the bar all by myself, woohoo!). However when I tried to leave to come home I took off my running shoes and then instead of putting my street shoes on I put my running shoes back on. And then I looked down at my feet and had a sort of "which one of these things doesn't belong" sort of moment. After the gym I came home and prepared to run some errands: renew/pickup a prescription, buy some food for the weekend, and go to the bank.
I went to the grocery store but instead of going to the pharmacy window to renew my prescription I just started shopping. One box of clementines, a frozen pizza and a bottle of hair conditioner later I remembered about the prescription. Fortunately, it only takes 10 min for them to fill a prescription and I still had more shopping to do. Unfortunately, I finished shopping, paid and left the store without remembering to pick it up. Then, I went to the bank to deposit a check where I filled out the slip for deposit to a savings account instead of a checking account. I finally remembered the prescription and went back to the grocery store to pick it but looked all over the wrong parking lot for the car. (Not remembering that I had left it at the bank.)
Ok well most of the stuff was done so I came home and checked on a dvd I'd been burning for my brother. About half an hour after returning home I looked over and saw the frozen pizza on the floor thus triggering another forgotten task: put the groceries away.
I've probably forgotten more stuff but just haven't remembered that I forgot yet.
Clearly my brain thinks that today should have been the sort of day where one sleeps in and then leisurely works on knitting projects. I also took a friend to the airport and on the way home there was a huge semi stuck across the road and everyone had to drive up over the curb and onto the grass to get around him. Maybe he doesn't like Friday's either.

You are so funny! I have those days myself sometimes, but luckily for me, today wasn't one of them.
