Anybody hate Mondays?
Two people hate Mondays.
Well, I hate Mondays.
And so these are my scores on Mondays.
Several Mondays over the course of a few months, I get low scores across dimensions.
I don't love my wife well.
I pout at her.
She calls me pouty pants sometimes.
I didn't do well at work.
I felt stressed.
I handled my emotions poorly.
I didn't eat well.
But then here's the thing.

My wife is a big logistics gal, and I'm not a big logistics guy.
So she'll text me at work for logistics, and there's one time she did this for 12 and a half hours straight.
And I saw the text.
