Peanuts by Charles Schulz for February 10, 2025

A Sour Sunday, a melancholy Monday, a terrible Tuesday, a Woah is Me Wednesday, a Trying Thursday, a failure Friday and a sad Saturday.

This sounds familiar…

My work schedule is so weird that of I didn’t keep a copy on my fridge, I wouldn’t even know what day it was

Too sad.

Real worriers don’t need a calendar to keep track of the things they need to dread. They’re on their mind all the time. They wake up to the thought of them and carry them with every second of the day, every day. I should know; I suffer from anxiety, depression, OCD, and PTSD, not to mention autism (specifically, Asperger’s), germaphobia, and perfectionism, to name a few. Needless to say, it’s a miserable existence.

Nothing unusual; just the mundane, every day dread.

So much for Psalm 118.24….

I know the feeling, Charlie!

He just wants to check if there is something he hates

By my casual (and likely incorrect) calculations, Charlie Brown would be about 80? now. So he’d be dreading lots of dr appointments if he’s like the majority.

I could use one of those calendars!

I just checked my calendar and now I dread Wednesday….I see I have a dentist appointment!!

Watch the news and weather, lots to dread.

Mondays, dread Monday!

A 24-hour news cycle usually does it for most people.

Every weekday morning, first thing, I sit in this chair, at about this time, and open Outlook. First step, delete almost all of the emails that arrived since I Iast checked. Next step review all of the Goto, Zoom and Teams meetings I have to attend. Last step, decide which ones I’ll ignore.

Charlie Brown doesn’t know Valentine’s Day is later this week according to the calendar.

What? Me worry?

One of the many great things about retirement is that there are very few days I dread anymore.

You can dread Valentine’s Day on Friday.

I use the standard Outlook calendar. It reminds me to do stuff.

I wish I had a way to include the weather in the calendar. As a retiree, I cancel when it is bad.

At least he’s prepared

Like the song said, “It’s a turn down day”, by The Cyrkle. Nothin on my mind,& I dig it.

Easy, just watch the news Charlie Brown.

Just the mornings, and the afternoons, and the evenings.

I’m an optimist. I always buy “dread not” calendars. Maybe it’s just the old sailor in me!

Click on the little icon in the dock at the bottom of the screen.

I don’t think that’s quite the way David Allen would describe the purpose of the calendar.

The only problematic day of any week is Tuesday.

Sometimes planning works, sometimes it don’t ! ;-)

These days my home page is Google… I’m too scared to open with the news. I sort of have to build up courage, and edge into it, like a bathtub that might be full of ice water.

I’m an optimist, news doesn’t depress me. Paranoia isn’t my friend

I know how he feels.

Yes – Friday, where the mailbox will be loaded with valentines…all for Snoopy. All of your valentines got sent to newspapers by mistake.

(Seriously, there was a report once that so many kids who read how Charlie Brown never got valentines felt sorry for him and sent one to him through their newspaper, that he actually gets more valentines than anyone alive. The same goes with Halloween candy and TV stations that aired “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.” Why, yes, I probably will repeat this “fact” in October…)

Boy this is relatable!

Now that I’m retired, and I KNOW I don’t know everything, my wife seems to think I don’t need to keep using my phone calendar. And then she’s gets crazy if I don’t remember that we’re going somewhere…

Stunday, Moanday, Twistday, Woesday, Toresday, Fearsday, Shatterday – after Harlan Ellison

Well next week is midwinter recess…

Maybe it’ll be something good, you don’t know.

Charlie why do you always think the worse
