"Friday"

We use this word, not to refer to an actual day of the week, but a circumstance: The evening before a day off. For instance, Sunday night was Stephan's Friday because he didn't have to work on Monday. Tuesday night will be my Friday because I don't work on Wednesday. Stephan's next Friday will be Thursday night.

This was all good when he was working 3-4 days in a row. There would only be one Friday per week. But now that life has calmed down, and the schedule he's working is more sane... there are more Fridays. This week, there will be three Fridays since he works two days, is off for two days, works two days, is off for one day and then works one day.

Friday used to be an excuse- now it's a way of life.
