Sunday Night Syndrome

It turns out that the weirdness I experience on Sunday nights is not some strange weekly depression, but an actual named problem faced by a lot of people who have busy jobs with a lot to remember... Sunday Night Syndrome. Apparently many people feel like their weekends are pretty much over by Saturday, and Sunday has become a "pre-work" to work day. This describes me to a tee. I get home on Friday, veg Friday night, clean or relax on Saturday, leaving my planning work for Sunday. Teaching is one of those jobs that requires "out-of-work" work, because of the marking and planning. I have been dreading Sundays, because by about 5 or 6 I feel very anxious about the next day and week, I have a million things going around in my brain, and I can't shut it off to sleep, even though I know that I need sleep. This isn't as abnormal as I thought though, thankfully. I just hope it doesn't stick around.

I had such a fun time with my sister this weekend! She came down and we went to the city for the day yesterday and got ALL of our Christmas shopping done (except for each others presents, of course!) It was great just to be able to relax with each other with nothing major planned just fun sisterly stuff. I'm going to miss her so much if she actually goes to Australia for 6 months! We've finally gotten really close...

Ok, I'm going to go try to wind down for a bit... Go sleep go!
