Poor, poor Tuesday. What is there to say about you? All the other days are praised or cursed, but what does Tuesday get?
Monday is a day despised, the beginning of the long slog, the harbinger of work and drudgery. Everyone hates Monday.
Wednesday is the halfway point, the glimmer of hope, where everything after is all downhill.
Thursday is the Day Before Friday, or Friday Eve, if you prefer, and ends with the resounding declaration, “One more day until the weekend!”
Friday is the end of the slog, the joyous day of freedom when the weekend is at its longest and moods are brightest.
Saturday is the day of fun and relaxation, a day where one can kick back and catch a breath. Everyone loves Saturday.
Sunday is the day of rest, but it carries the double edge of being the Day Before Monday, when fun is mingled with the imminence of the new week.
But what about Tuesday? What does anyone have to say about Tuesday?
It’s not as miserable as Monday, but not as hopeful as Wednesday or Thursday nor as exciting as Friday. And it’s certainly not a Saturday or Sunday. Tuesday simply … is. There is nothing to say about Tuesday. It is a day ignored, a day to be endured, a day to be forgotten. No one cares about Tuesday.
Poor Tuesday.

Many thanks for visiting my blog. I post updates on my writing career, I muse over storytelling and fiction, and I reflect on the curious and wonderful things in life.
“Hermes is not having the best time. He walks a fine line, and his duty as messenger of Olympus weighs heavily on him. Being a god in the modern age means living in a world that no longer believes in gods. How much can one deity accomplish when no one respects him anymore? And why do his instincts tell him that he, the son of Zeus, is losing favor with his own family?
Tensions abound. The upstart Young Gods play dangerous games using entire cities as their boards. Formless monsters strike from the nighttime shadows, terrorizing hapless mortals. Agents of rival pantheons scheme to thwart Olympus’ designs. In the thick of it all, Hermes does what he does best: trick, lie, and cheat his way to victory.“
