It’s Sunday, and Sunday has, for some reason, never been one of my favorite days. I can’t explain it - maybe it’s because the weekend is over and we have to go back to dealing with the B.S. that goes on during the week. Or maybe it’s something else - I don’t know. But regardless, I’m really bummin’ right now and could use a pick-me-up. I’m really bad at this ‘asking for a hug’ stuff, so I’ll just quit while I’m ahead. Lay 'em on me, Dopers. -Dirty ---

Weekends are hard for me because I have no set schedule (unlike work days). I have plenty of time to sleep, mope, procrastinate and work myself into a real funk. {{{{{{Dirty Earthwork}}}}}} ---

Hey there, **Dirty**! Sundays can suck, I agree. Whenever I’m blue I find myself doing one of two things, (1) wallowing in it, or (2) getting off my arse and doing something. I spend plenty of time doing (1) but I feel better when I do (2). (No potty references here, huh?) 🙂 Does KZoo have something to entertain your lovely self on Sundays? Something you would consider a total delight? You should give yourself a treat today, even if it’s an ice cream cone, and tell yourself “atta boy” for making through yet another week of daily B.S. Here’s a low-cal treat…virtual hugs!! {{{{{{{Dirty Earthworm}}}}}}} [sub]Oh, and by the way. Thanks for taking care of my garden this year. As I was planting flowers last week, I found you and about 10million of your closest relatives living in my garden. Thanks, man![/sub] ---
