Happy or sad

The title of today's post reminds me of a scene from the peaky blinder series but that isn't why I'm writing about today's post, the reason why today's post is named that though is because that's how what I'm about to write makes me feel...happy or sad.

You see, growing up, my least favorite day of the week used to be Sundays, and this was because we had to wake up very early on Sundays to go to church, arrange and clean everywhere properly before other people came to church, and this was mainly done on an empty stomach because at my house, we don't eat breakfasts on Sundays.

So whenever it was Saturday night, I would find myself having nightmares about the next morning, it was that bad. But fast forward to the present and now I no longer have to worry about waking up very early in the morning because unlike back in the day when I had to be in church by 6am, I could get to church here by 9am and still be early because I'm currently in a different state and I don't clean the church here.

Now one would think that seeing how the Sunday problem has been settled, that I would no longer have a day that I dread, well they would be wrong because over here, I don't like Saturdays but unlike back home where my relationship with Sunday was simply a hate-hate relationship, I have a love-hate relationship with Saturday.

And the reason for that is because Saturday is the only day where it is a must I get up early from bed. Unlike other days where it's completely up to me, I do have to wake up by 6am to go participate in my hotel's sanitation exercise. Now that is the hate side of the relationship, the love side has to do with the fact that we tend to bond a lot during this sanitation exercises.

That is the one time we get to see everyone because we all have to come out or risk being fined for missing out on sanitation...so it's the one moment we get to make new friends, bond with people, laugh together, etc. And if you know me, you'd know that I'm someone eho enjoys talking to people and just having a good time.

So basically what that means is that in order for me to do that thing that I like (to bond with people), I have to do the thing I don't like (to wake up very early in the morning), and that is why I call it a love-hate relationship or a happy or sad moment...
