What day is it?

I always have a hard time figuring out the day/date in January. The new year. The holiday down time. It all adds up to confuse me. This year, the confusion is worse and I’m blaming our new pin-up calendar.

TW insists on hanging a calendar in the bathroom and I’ve gotten used to it being there. I have sometimes ordered her a special bathroom calendar and gifted it to her for Christmas. Other years we’ve bought the bathroom calendar at Wild Iris or at some bookstore or another when they were on sale. This year, we were a little bit behind on our calendar buying (let’s blame Steph and the Patriarchy for that.)

We ended up going to Borders well into the new year and the pickings were pretty slim. We ended up buying an Outhouse calendar for the other bathroom and a Pin-Up calendar for our bathroom. I really like the Pin-Up calendar. Except…. I never know what effing day it is. The calendar starts on Monday. I don’t like calendars that start on Monday. The calendar week starts on SUNDAY. Damn it.

Every time I use the bathroom… I look at the calendar and I get confused about what day it is or what the date is. I’m in a state of constant date/day confusion – it’s so bad that I try a) not to use the bathroom all day b) try not to look at the calendar – ever.

Next year… I don’t care what the pictures on the calendar look like – I just want to make sure that the calendar week starts on Sunday – like it is supposed to.
