Sundowning. That sinking feeling that starts creeping in on a Sunday evening...
When the itchy, scratchy "hair shirt" of the impending work week begins to irritate...
This guy, Ric Burns, thinks it's bio-chemical...
... I agree. And I've got that gene.
See this quote from today's New York Times:
"I have a remarkable capacity to let go at the end of the day. The other three [in my family] are susceptible to sundowning, that late-Sunday-blues feeling. They can feel the darkness of the week looming upon them. The hair shirt of Monday is hanging in the closet. I think it's totally biochemical. - Ric Burns in Sunday Routine, in the New York Times.

I've been in a position to change up the days I start work. I find that the day doesn't matter.
It sucks going into that first day of the week.
It's why I decided I want to make a career change. I'll do the I.T. thing for a couple more years but I want to be a landlord. Enough units to deliver about $500K a year.
That comes out to 54 rental units. Totally doable - and I own most all of it in just five years. Beautiful isn't it? No more getting up on Monday/Tuesday to slog to an office. Just the occasional rent collection or repair job. That I can handle.
