From Feasting to Filing: Laughing Through the Monday After Thanksgiving

From Feasting to Filing: Laughing Through the Monday After Thanksgiving

Ah, Monday. We meet again. 🍂 After a weekend of feasting, family, and maybe one too many slices of pie, here we are: back to reality. If you’re feeling like a stuffed turkey trying to squeeze into a cubicle, don’t worry — you’re not alone.

Let me tell you about my post-Thanksgiving morning. I woke up ready to tackle the day… or so I thought. My pants, however, had a different opinion. Buttoning them felt like an Olympic event. After wrestling with my wardrobe (and rethinking my relationship with mashed potatoes), I finally made it out the door — coffee in hand, cranberry sauce still suspiciously stuck in my hair.

While working, I realized the true magic of Thanksgiving leftovers. My colleagues. They brought their Tupperware treasures! By noon, the office smelled like a buffet, and suddenly Monday didn’t seem so bad. A bite of stuffing here, a laugh about how my cooking skills remain questionable, and voilà — we made it through.

What’s the Moral?

Mondays don’t have to be all business. Laugh at the gravy stains, embrace the food coma vibes, and remember: the holiday might be over, but the gratitude doesn’t have to be. You’ve got this — turkey pants and all. 🦃💪

Now, grab that leftover pie (because yes, dessert is an acceptable work snack) and tackle this week like the rockstar you are! 🎉

I love ya’ll!
