who puts holidays in the middle of the week?

Should I blame my age? Am I getting old when mid-week holidays bug me worse than holidays falling on a Sunday only to be celebrated on Monday?

The problem is that one day transition into the regular week (or simply regularity), that state of mind we call "Monday." We all know how sometimes Tuesday can feel like a Monday, and perhaps I have been conditioned by a lifetime of Memorial/Labor/Presidents Days (and the rest) for it to be less offensive when I encounter a Tuesday of that ilk.

I've been in a bit of funk today and I only recently figured it out (thanks to Sean Means for helping me locate the source of my troubles). Thursday should never feel like a Monday. It is unnatural and it is not right.

I won't stand for it.

Even worse, what does that mean for July 5th next year?
