Monday
It’s Monday.
It rained this morning.
Felt a wave of grumpiness settle over me.
I love the rain but today it did nothing.
Have I not slept well?
I don’t remember.
Nothing was unusual.
Nothing was new.
I went to work.
Listened to some songs.
Buhay ay ‘di karera
I had my daily dose of caffeine.
Finished some tasks.
Talked with people.
A friend told me I’m grumpy.
I did not realize, sorry.
For my mood.
Or for my lack of awareness.
Tried hard to joke around.
Maybe I was just sleepy.
Or was it fatigue?
It’s only MONDAY!
Clocked out.
Wala na ring silbi, pintig na unti-unting humihinahon
Stopped by a gasoline station.
Talked with a tricycle driver.
He had some story about a fake bill.
Went home.
Played with my son.
Asked him about his first day in school.
Oh energy, where have you gone?
It’s just half past 6.
Dinner did not quite revive my dwindling energy.
Went to the room.
Sat down on the floor.
Strummed a few chords on my guitar.
Closed my eyes.
Hummed a few melodies.
…
The rain passed.
Maybe the fog of fatigue also will.
Sleepiness shall follow.
For now, I’ll rest.
And dream of a brighter Tuesday.
