Monday Morning Blues

It's Monday, Monday, Monday and I'm just not feelin' fine. I dunno why I dislike Mondays so much this time of year. I guess it's because of the changing weather and the fact that I have to be up a little bit earlier to de-ice the car. Oh well, it can only get worse from here :(. I'm planning to join a fitness center tomorrow, I'm getting waaay to out of shape and I'm also feeling depressed these days. The good thing is that I know why I'm depressed, it has to do with the fact that I grew up in the Caribbean and am used to sunshine and the diverse flora and fauna all year round. Here, the weather is cold, the trees are dead, and the only fauna you see are deer [and they can be hazardous to your vehicle's health]. On top of that, the body doesn't move like it should in the summer months, the metabolism speeds up because of the cold, and you just feel cranky and out of sorts all day long. Anyhow, not me, not this winter, I'm gonna get my daily exercise on and beat the winter blues, yes sir I am!

Anyhow, you know I did the craziest thing this morning! My car has the automatic seatbelts that slide up over your shoulders once you turn the ignition on. This usually requires that you are seated when you turn the motor on. Of course, I didn't want to sit down, nor did I want to get my head trapped in the seatbelt again, since it nearly strangled me last week and I only managed not to die a tragic, albeit funny, death was because I was agile enough to release the belt before my head got pressed against the seat. So, this time to avoid strangulation, I released the belt. No problem. Flash forward 50 minutes later and I pull into my parking lot at work, suddenly realizing that the damn seatbelt was still loose! I had driven for just over 40 miles without my shoulder belt!! Can you imagine what would've happened to me had I been pulled over by a cop? Especially in a state where there is a strong click-it or ticket campaign to encourage the wearing of safety belts! I surely would've gotten what the duck get! In fact, imagine if I had had an accident with a deer or another automobile, I wouldn't be sitting in the far corner of my corner office in the corner of the building writing this blog to R.A.S.S!

Anyhow, the lesson to be learned from this is simple: Make sure that you check that your seatbelt is properly attached before you leave the premises! a hoa! Anyhow, I gone to do some blog reading and then off to do some work, so I will see unnu all inna di lataz, zeen!
