Mondays have weird vibes

Mondays always feel different regardless of whether you freelance or work in a business office. You wake up in the morning and you're hit with this "Another week in the life of..." type of feeling. Monday mornings have many very subtle "take stock of your life" moments...moments containing that little unease in the back of your mind and heart that slowly disappears when you get to Tuesday and you finally get back into the groove of your work pattern.
