Sunday is a guilt-free day to be lying in bed, so snuggle up and enjoy. Picture: ThinkStock
IT'S the day of the week many of us hate, almost as much as its bigger and uglier sibling called Monday.
But while it's a time many of us sit there worrying about going to
work the next day, there's plenty of other reasons why you should quit
thinking the weekend is over and just enjoy it.
Aside from being
able to lie in as long as you like, and being able to sit around all day
in your PJs, there's plenty of other reasons to celebrate the start of
the week.
So sit back, relax and take a load off, because if you can't do it on a Sunday then, frankly, when can you?
Ten reasons why Sunday is awesome
1. Lie in as long as you like
Let's
face it, this is the best day to snuggle up and forget you have
anything to get up for, especially if you've had a big one the night
before. It's probably the only day in the whole week you can sleep guilt
free and know it's totally OK.
2. Brunch with mates
This is the best day in the
week when you, your mates and your family are at their most relaxed and
up for a lazy long chat over breakfast at your favourite cafe. Again,
not having to rush off anywhere is a liberating feeling so embrace it,
eat, drink and be merry.
3. Sport - any kind
Sunday
is the day for sport, whether it's on TV, gathering at a mate's place
or at the game itself, this is the time to start watching. It doesn't
matter what, just do it, you may even enjoy it.
4. Sunday night TV
There's nothing that takes the dull ache off going to work more than sitting around watching MasterChef, The Mentalist or House Husbands.
Even if you don't like any of these shows, Simon Baker is enough of a
drawcard to make most of the ladies at least look forward to this time
of the week.
5. Coffee and the papers
Nothing beats sitting in your
favourite cafe or just at home, sipping on a soy latte or peppermint tea
for hours and reading the paper cover to cover. It's probably the only
day of the week the local barista won't be giving you filthy looks for
sipping on the one coffee all day.
6. Sunday session
Nothing beats going down to the local
waterhole for a lunchtime beer and bumping into your mates and
neighbours. Soon enough you realise your one beer has turned into four,
but that's OK - it's Sunday.
7. Sitting around in your PJs and nightgown
You've
had a hard week and don't need to go anywhere so why bother getting
dressed? There's only one other day in the week you can get away with
that and the guilt sets in if it's a Saturday. So with that in mind,
hold the shower and revel in your nightclothes.
8. Catch up on your favourite shows
Like
most busy people, there's not a lot of time between work, family,
friends and going out, to sit for more than one episode and catch up on
your favourite TV during the week. It's a day of rest so grab the
blanket and pillow, lie back and get the remote ready.
9. Have a tea and read a book
Often
neglected, this pleasure is often reserved for the bus going into work
or while waiting at the dentist or doctor's surgery. But why wait for an
excuse? Put the kettle on and warm up your favourite seat and get
familiar with your favourite author.
10. Spend the day cooking, cleaning and getting organised for ... Monday
OK
this might not be everyone's idea of a great Sunday, but knowing all
that boring stuff is out of the way for the week ahead means you can
spend more time doing lots of the stuff above.
