The Perfect Monday Syndrome... How true?

Hello people. I came up with this write-up this morning. Read and Enjoy, and drop your comments once you're done. Thanks.
...................................................................
How true is the myth that once you start off your monday on a "funny/wrong" note, the rest of the days of the week are likely to turn out the same way?


It's a beautiful but extremely cold Wednesday here in South-Western Nigeria. I woke up quite late, hurried to prepare breakfast for everyone, do some kitchen cleaning; before going to the bathroom. I decided to do a brief laundry too. By the time I was done getting all set for work, I was already so late.
I have this sweet neighbour that drops me off at work. She was already late too, but I delayed her the more, as I had forgotten to pick so many things that I'd be needing for the day at work. I had to go back a couple of times to pick my wig and gown, get my packed food (thanks to my sister), pick up my wallet... And yes, I had delayed my neighbour by some extra 10minutes.

When I got to work, I just felt all clumsy; and though it's wednesday, I didn't like the feeling at all.
Then it got me thinking. My monday was also quite clumsy; was a bit late to work. I blamed it on the weather, 'cause we all woke up to this really cold harmattan breeze, and it took a lot of encouragement to get me to take my bath.
 Yesterday (Tuesday) was no better. Infact, I did some serious laundry before going to work; and I had to rush to work, and then to court.

For quite sometime, I have believed the whole myth of starting off one's week properly and the rest of the days of the week will just follow soothe. And I guess it's the only reason for my 'clumsiness' this week (I'm not normally a clumsy person), although, I usually pray about my week going on smoothly, and I do my best to put mechanisms in place to make it so. But I want to hear your views on this issue.

What do you think? Do you think it's important to start off your Monday well so that the remaining days of the week will be perfect, or do you think it really doesn't matter?

Please drop your comments. I'd be delighted to hear from you.

*Don't forget to stay warm this season. Wishing you a very merry yuletide season.

Hello blog fam. Trust we've all been doing well. Let me start by thanking you all for your amazing support and devotion to this blog. I'm truly inspired, motivated, and encouraged to write more. The feedback from the last short story series 'Chasing Shadows' has been mind blowing. Tons of comments from different quarters (plus the comments I bullied  some people into dropping... lol. (don't mind me. Your comments inspire me. I need that inspiration, so bear with me if I force the inspiration out of you, literally)) have requested a second part to the story. Many people think the story shouldn't end that way. I'm done fighting the urge not to write a part 2 of 'Chasing Shadows'. So, I guess it will be safe for me to tell y'all to anticipate a second part to the story. In the meantime, I want us to go back to our 'weTalk' series, which I started in April 2015. It's basically short stories raising pertinent issues that affect everyone

Chasing Shadows (Episode 9): Finale

“ You have to tell her the whole truth. I’m sure about this one, okay? She deserves to know…” *Pause* “I’m praying for you, son, like I’ve always done. You know that is the only thing that has kept me going…” His mother’s words rang in his head. He could still feel her gentle squeeze on his shoulders, and the softness of her voice as she prayed for him. He was such a mess all through the week. He decided to get his act together before driving to Lagos that Saturday. He had visited his mother the Friday night before and told her about the call from Sade’s mother. She had smiled in a weird but calm way when he told her. There were so many things he was still trying to figure out in his life, especially what his family had done to deserve series of misfortune. But above all, his mother’s calmness was the one thing he couldn’t figure out. It was not just the prayers and relationship with God that she claimed to draw her strength from. He found it hard to believe that anyone

Faith Tunde-Yara The Previous Day "Wait, Tade..." Sewa said at the top of her voice once they were out of the compound. He had been dragging her for some time now, and although she was scared of this new person in her bestie's skin, she couldn't take it anymore. They both had to think logically at this point, and it was obvious Tade was not in his right senses. Tade suddenly became conscious of himself and the hurt he was causing Sewa. He released his hold on her and began to
