John Y’s Musings from the Middle: Monday Morning Mania and Marmalade

jyb_musingsIt’s one of those Monday mornings that feels like I am about to take a major test I waited until the last minute to study for…

Because I thought I could pull it off…

But realize now I was probably mistaken…

For a class I didn’t want to sign up for but did anyway because I thought it would be good for me…

And two weeks ago had the opportunity to drop but didn’t and now the deadline has passed…

And decide if I gorge myself on a sweet roll and loud Motown music while telling myself “In the scheme of things…..this is not a big deal” that I  briefly feel better ….

Until after the second sweet roll I start feeling both guilty, anxious, and now nauseous at the exact same time I realize listening to Lady Marmalade for the third time is two times too many…

And I look over my notes one last time and hope the questions on the test turn out to be the few I know the answer to…

As I realize that this is just another Monday ….like every other Monday. And the way I always feel before a test. And, awww hell, it will be fine…

And even if it’s not fine and I do poorly, it will still be fine…

And turn back on Lady Marmalade and it sounds even better the third time than it did the first time…
