sMtWtFs

It all comes down to work. If work wasn’t as taxing as it is, things would be better off. If work is the problem, and all we have is the work week, then maybe the solution is within it as well.

This is about part of my manic spiral from April 2025. Often I am faced with a problem that I cannot fix, and then my mind goes on a rampage to find the answers. This was one of those times. I looked at the work week and saw it for the acronyms they are.

Taking a traditional week, with S & S at the ends — SMTWTFS— I quickly removed them from the equation. No one has problems with the weekend. So Sun or Sat (SOS) are not the culprit.

That leaved the work week — MTWTF. Let’s focus on the two similar ones. The t’s . Tuesday and Thursday which is sometimes listed as just R instead of T. It transitions, often viewed as something that is different from it’s original identifier. The “T” also looks like a “t” which is basically a cross. The cross most made infamous by Christ who could be known as “the least of these” (Matthew 25:40). America and much of the world, religious or not, know Christ to be a nice guy. One upheld and revered b many of them. Looking at the other “T,” people have been told to despise them. This other “T” stands for Transgender. From the White house dropping the “T” in LGBTQ+ and this present administration targeting those who are numerically the least of the demography, it is aggravating to see. How can people praise one “T” over the other? That is a major problem, and one that is a cause needing deep diving. So for now, we’ll set aside the T’s.

That leaves MWF. M for man, W for Woman, F for…. Something else. It’s not easy to figure out quickly, so let’s focus on the MW. Funny how they are the same, the only difference is positioning. M upside down is W. W upside down is M. There is some spacing in between the legs, but ultimately, they are the same. M for man is the first day of the work week. Number 1. Supposed to be leading the pack. The middle of the work week is Woman. A pillar of the family and work week together. “Hump” day, people call it, as it is the middle, but also for the number of sexual comments that could be made regarding that. I dare say that it is Women who need to be lifted up more. The feminine aspect of people that should be tended to or cared for. It nothing else, they are the middle of the factual and creative realms. What links Man and Children. They are needed, so we should lift them up rather than jump over them. May We Connect, Man Woman Child.

That leaves F. F can mean many things. Fun, Friend, Failure… it is the end, which could mean something bad that drags us down into the depths of despair, or it could be seen as the end of the work week. A time of elation and happiness where one rises up in joy. Flying high on faith like a fairy. Fairies are children of Faith, for they thrive on belief. Children basically are like fairies, for they are new to this world, often protected, and given a dream of a better world to believe in. F could stand for Faith. I proclaim that F stands for Fae. Of course, it can be whatever you believe.

If Fae were allowed to exist and thrive in adulthood as they did in childhood, they would bring joy and light to Women, or those who identify as Caregivers. With Caregivers taken care of and appreciated, they would be able to be there to support Men, or those who identify as Protectors. With protectors being there and appreciated for their service, they would be able to provide honest work to help keep Fae and Children, or those who identify as Dreamers, safe an sound. It would change the world. Rather, it would be the start of it, for then the Dreamers could believe in new ways to change the world to benefit everyone, and everyone else would gradually fit in ways to support the change.

So that is how I came up with the solution of the Work Week within the Work Week. I refuse to be pinned down as M or W, so I am F. Option 3. I want to create a world where all are cared for, but I believe it starts by getting the T’s on the same page. There has to be a way for uniting and coming together. Truly, Christ would have wanted it.
