+2. It took me a while to NOT be a little anxious on Sunday nights. It was sort of automatic, subconscious even when there was nothing particularly pressing about the Monday or week ahead. I’d forgotten that, thanks for the pleasant reminder.Agree. For a while, I felt weird on Sunday nights. Now, every day is pretty much the same. Still kind dislike garbage day because I get up early to put my garbage out versus putting it out the night before. But hey, that’s just one day where I have to get up early and it’s for 15 minutes, not 8 hours or worse including traffic. Bring on Monday! I’ll be sleeping in.
That clock would inspire dread in me. NO MORE!!That ticking clock Sunday nights on 60 Minutes no longer sounds like a countdown to me.

I just saw a FB post from a current teacher, “the entire month of August is like Sunday night to teachers”. (It’s now Monday morning and I’m lounging around drinking coffee and reading)
What I hated worst about Sundays was travel.
On average about once per month, I had to fly out to be somewhere Monday morning. (I know many have / had much heavier travel schedules!)
Every Sunday afternoon / evening I don't spend in an airport is heavenly.

Same here; last 2-3 years was almost 100% travel. Lived in Maryland and all my work was in the Midwest and Europe. Never tired of what the job was but the travel just killed it. Also one of the reasons we travel very little in retirement.This was it for me. I traveled a ton at the end of my career and got so sick of Sunday or Monday morning flights. I can't even describe the relief of not having to do that anymore.

Yeah same here! I hated it! I see now I was not the only one.That clock would inspire dread in me. NO MORE!!
I felt the same way for about a year or so after I retired. Now, after 9+ years, I have a hard time remembering what day it even is anymore.......they're all equally awesome
