You know, another one of my favorite comedy writers, Robert Brockway, was stuck in his bed on a Monday like the one you described, and he wrote this little gem;

"Why does it always hurt to wake up? [...] I can feel my heart beat, thick and heavy. How do people do this every single day? It can't be this bad for everybody. Some [people] must just spring out of bed in full running gear and greet the new day like a dog greets a long-gone owner. Those dirty sons of b******![...] We have to figure a way out of these oppressive blankets!"

I think poor Brockway just about summed up the pain we all share known as the First of the weekdays.

I have to disagree slightly. I think that we do have bonds even with abstract, distant things that we do not know in person. I believe that we have bonds with everything. I believe that those bonds become stronger, deeper, and more intense the closer and closer you get to the source (like gravity).

Take a distant object, like Beethoven. Even though I don't know him, barely studied him, and can't appreciate his music like a true musician would, I still have a bond with him, albeit a very slim one. I know him as the one who made those beautiful songs that I listen to while I work. I feel sad when I read about how he was a tortured genius, and I laugh when I learn that he composed most of his symphonies while completely deaf. That's a weak bond, but it's still a bond, in my eyes.
