one piece animal snuggies: costume of choice for Rosenmontag karneval partiers.

I had an awesome Monday.

Monday, the ugly duckling of days. It really is underestimated. It’s usually not really that difficult of a day, considering everyone’s dragging from the weekend. It’s a day of easing back into things. Tuesday is the real dark horse of the week.

Anyway. I went to my normal 6am gym class, totally uninspired. But I did my personal best on one of my lifts; a feat that had eluded me for two years, a huge milestone for me, and kind of unfathomable considering it happened less than an hour after I rolled out of bed (I think only Crossfitters/olympic lifters will get the significance here).

I was sure my luck would change after that, as I had an appointment with the orthopaedist for foot pain I’ve had the last few months. But to my surprise, he told me I just had to massage the fascia with a ball and wear some grandma insoles in my shoes. I’ll take it!

I had to take a different train to work because of my appointment. Turns out one of my best friends was taking the same train. I got to spend my otherwise monotonous train ride laughing, chatting, and catching up with my friend.

Maybe these don’t seem like huge things, but they were all wonderful small victories that happened before I even made it to work. I can’t think of a way I’d rather start the week!
