Welcome to the Sunday saga – a once blissful day now haunted by the notorious “Sunday Scaries.” But hey, when did this fun day turn into a fright night? Let’s unravel the mystery.
As Sophia Petrillo would say…Picture this: it’s Sunday, and instead of lounging in pajamas, we’re mentally rehearsing Monday’s to-do list like we’re back in college cramming for the exam we forgot about. Cue the existential crisis! When did weekends become “workends”, and Sunday Funday brunches were crashed by”Sunday Scaries”.
I couldn’t tell you the precise moment I first encountered the term “Sunday Scaries,” but boy, did it hit me like a ton of anxious bricks. Suddenly, the weekend chatter revolved around spreadsheets and deadlines, not mimosas and Netflix binges. Was this adulting, or a sign we’ve all gone a tad overboard?
Fast forward to the pandemic era, and the Scaries took on a new twist – the dread of trading sweatpants for pencil skirts. The realization hit: it wasn’t Sundays causing the panic; it was the thought of office, the commute and the annoying “how was your weekend” pleasantries with people who, lets be honest really didn’t care.
But fear not, my fellow Scaries sufferers! There’s light at the end of this Sunday tunnel..
Gone are the days of Sunday stress; now, I revel in relaxation and rejuvenation. Instead of mentally clocking in for Monday, I indulge in activities that feed my soul. From cooking an amazing meal, curling up with a captivating book, Sundays are now synonymous with self-care and me time that help me get excited for the week, not fear it.
