Dear Diary,

Today is the best day of the week again: Monday.

What is it about Mondays that makes them so wonderful? Is it the fresh start to a week? Is it the peacefulness of day-to-day life? Is it the beautiful mornings? It makes me want to sigh with joy.

Nothing interesting has happened so far today, diary, and that's just the way I like it.

I brushed my teeth and there were no tooth-paste clogs, I had enough tea for this morning, and the newspaper was lying gently on my front porch, as per usual. Mondays are just simply wonderful.

After I had a quick shower, I went over to the park to read my newspaper. There wasn't much happening today, it seemed like. That's good, by the way. Mondays are for nothing much happening.

After reading the newspaper, I checked the time and, not to my surprise, it was exactly one o' clock. (That would be the time that I open up shop).

My shop is nothing more than a small, quaint little store filled with appliance manuals. Today I had only two customers. One of them bought a blender manual. The other actually bought two things: an air conditioner manual and a manual on how to assemble couches.

Then my store closed for the day and I headed home to sit down at my table and write my diary for today.

Excuse me, diary, but there's a knock on my door right now. This is very odd. In fact, it's very out-of-the-ordinary, which worries me. What if it's a disaster, like someone wanting a refund on an air conditioner manual? Or what if it's worse? I simply must go see who it is and what they want. Excuse me.

Oh my goodness, diary, I'm scared. Very scared. In fact, I'm scared enough to write a single exclamation point, something I haven't done since this time last year.

The pony at the door was Pinkie Pie, and she stopped by to wish me a happy early birthday. She also told me that she was already arranging plans for my surprise birthday party next week.

!

Oh dear. I am very worried.

Goodnight, Diary. Maybe this will all be over and done with soon.

Sincerely,

John
