To feel like today is Friday?

I keep getting a fright because I genuinely believe it's Friday and then suddenly remember it's only Thursday. Along with this being the longest week ever, it feels like Friday 😫 Spoke to a few friends in real life and they feel like this also. There must be a reason.

Anyone else?

I've experienced this phenomenon too, when there's a collective feeling that it's a different day. Spooky, but unexplainable

YANBU I keep thinking it’s Friday too

mum2jakie · 10/02/2022 22:11

God yes, me and the kids have felt like it's Friday all evening!

Cakecakecheese · 10/02/2022 22:12

I've been doing this today too!

Notonthestairs · 10/02/2022 22:13

I felt like this yesterday so I'm completely out of step!

I've felt like this has been the longest week ever. I thought January flew by but Feb is draaaagging. I've taken a day off work next week just to try to break the month up.

ILikeItLikeThat21 · 10/02/2022 22:15

Yes same here. My kids have Inset day tomorrow though, so that could be why.

jilllanguage · 10/02/2022 22:15

It's so strange, I'd really love to find out a reason behind this, surely their must be one!? It's like I genuinely think it's Friday then get a shock when I remember it's only Thursday, it's weird.

Me too...I just said to dd this evening that it feels like a Friday!

Absolutely! Feel exactly the same, January was really quick and February has been a year long already and yes the longest week. So weird.

I booked a grocery delivery for Saturday which I thought was tomorrow.
I only realised when it told me I had until tomorrow night to amend it!

RLOU30 · 10/02/2022 22:17

How odd I’ve seen this thread. I never have these feelings but have been doing it all day today. Even a teacher said to me on the way out of nursery that she thought it was Friday and wished me a nice weekend !

Sumtimesiamgreen · 10/02/2022 22:17

Me too! So weird. Really thought.. or hoped it was Friday. Maybe that’s it. It’s a wishing it was Friday that creates the mistake.

MrPoppysParka · 10/02/2022 22:19

Yes! Although that might be because I’ve just started a new job and I really don’t like it. So I’m wishing my week away!

Phoenix76 · 10/02/2022 22:21

Now this is weird, it rarely happens to me and when it does it’s just fleeting but today I kept being convinced it was a Friday. It does seem especially weird, maybe they’re resetting the matrix!

Salahdor · 10/02/2022 22:22

Yes I have all day! Then I rang my mum and without me telling her my day confusion she asked me what DS is doing tomorrow. When I told her he’d be at school she said she’d forgot it’s only Thursday today, she thought it was Friday too!

ArabellaStrange · 10/02/2022 22:22

I spent the first four hours of my working day thinking it was Wednesday. It was awesome when I realized it was Thursday!

jilllanguage · 10/02/2022 22:27

How bizarre

I kept thinking yesterday was Monday Confused so actually felt better knowing I was much closer to the weekend than I thought but then I also feel like the week is dragging so much Confused basically I need a holiday Grin

DrierThanANunsNasty · 10/02/2022 22:34

This is utterly bizarre. I went to a drs appointment this morning and the dr said she was glad it’s Friday and I was told to have a nice weekend at the end of a meeting this afternoon (I had to remind them we have another meeting tomorrow). You’ve all collectively lost the plot Grin

frankiefirstyear · 10/02/2022 22:41

That's so strange I said to my mother earlier that it felt like Friday on Wednesday, I kept having to remind myself what I was doing because my plans were confusing me and my mother said she felt the exact same 🤯

MaybeMaybeNotJ · 10/02/2022 22:45

Yessssd

MaybeMaybeNotJ · 10/02/2022 22:47

I’ve felt a day out all week. I was convinced Wednesday was Thursday and today was Friday.

Breastfeedingworries · 10/02/2022 22:47

Omg! Yes I keep thinking it’s Saturday tomorrow! Weird! Never had this feeling before but it completely feels like tomorrow is Saturday and today is Friday! Thanks for reminding me that isn’t the case lol
