What day is it?

Are you keeping up with what day it is?

I had someone ask me yesterday what day it was. It gets so confusing at this time of year.

Saturday was Christmas Day yet we had the public holiday for it on Monday. Boxing Day was Sunday with a public holiday to celebrate yesterday, which was Tuesday. It’s back to work for many today with many others on holiday. The days just seem to be all jumbled up.

I know it’s Wednesday today but it kind of feels like a Monday – even though I’ve been working each day.

Thankfully I worked out what day it was today in enough time to take advantage of the fact that it’s sprinkler day at our place. (Here in Perth we have water restrictions and can only water our lawns twice a week)

As long as I remember that tomorrow is Thursday I’ll remember to put the bins out.

Of course with Saturday being New Year’s Day and Monday being another holiday, we’ll start the whole process all over again next week.
