What day is it today? Has Christmas come early?

I’ve been asking myself those questions all day in work.

I know it is Thursday, but it has felt like Friday all day today. It has been the last day of the week, as it is Good Friday tomorrow, so that is where the Friday feeling has come from, but there has been a strange ‘Christmassy’ feel running through my work colleagues today. Not the singing of carols kind of Christmassy, but the I’m not particularly bothered if it doesn’t get done now, it can get done next week kind of Christmassy. If you know what I mean. But someone was singing a Christmas carol on Tuesday this week, so they didn’t help.

So, that made today feel like the day before Christmas Eve. Which was odd to start with, but then with the weather being stunningly glorious things felt even odder. Especially as I had to wear my jacket all day in the office (pesky air conditioning).

Another reason why today felt like Friday was due to the fact that I finished early yesterday (Wednesday) but most weeks I finish early on a Thursday. Another reason why it felt Christmassy was due to the next Bank Holiday Weekend next week, thanks to the Royal Wedding. That will probably feel like New Year. And with today being the 21st the date is kind of Christmassy too. Although not the day before Christmas Eve, so that, therefore, meant that today did and didn’t feel like the day before Christmas Eve at the same time. Paradox… I’m in a paradox again.

It is really odd how changes to the same old routine can have a drastic effect on everything else. A change is as good as a rest is very true, but when a change causes your internal body clock to go slightly haywire, would that be classed as a rest?

Probably. A good old shake up every now and then gets rid of all of those dusty cobwebs that just seem to linger about. A little bit of Christmas magic in April is certainly a surprise, to say the least.

I only hope that on Sunday, I have a visit from the Easter Bunny rather than that jolly person in red with his trusty deer. Unless they’ve started to share the workload, and any one could turn up. Old Father Time, and the Tooth Fairy are included here too.

And if it was Old Father Time who appeared, with me thinking next week is New Years, I think the fabric of time and space may just implode. And that isn’t due to happen until next December. December 2012. Just before Christmas.

I’m going to have to have a lie down in a darkened room and reset my body clock. Recharge my inner chronological system. Gently let my brain and body know that today wasn’t Friday, and that tomorrow is.

And it is a really good job that I have managed to post this before midnight. I don’t need any more confusion right at this moment. I don’t think any more would actually fit right now anyway!
