Happy Birthday Solomon

What do you call a day where:
  •  you wake up at 1pm
  •  eat breakfast 
  • get dressed to go to the gym
  • realise you forgot your gym bag when you get there
  • go to the local hometown non-chain coffee shop for lunch instead and read the paper with a humongo cappucino and a chocolate croissant
  • go to work expecting another slow shift at the beginning of the week
  • only to be surprised by a freak electrical accident in town eradicating all power from the town's inhabitatnts EXCEPT our restaurant
  • take calls from drinking buddies at the town's OTHER restaurants asking if they can send us THEIR customers AND their staffs for dinner and drinks
  • get my head handed to me by THRONGS of hungy customers with no place to go but a dark, cold, damp house
  • get surprised again by a bar owner from out of town making an appearance in our bar asking if I will play the grand opening night of his new bar in my hometown which I had no idea was even ready yet
  • and still get home by 1:30am to the peaceful quietude of my place?

Why, you call it Monday, my friends.  You call it Monday.
