To get your vibe right for Monday – what about some laughter?

Mondays have a reputation—and not a great one. After a weekend of relaxation, the first day of the workweek often feels like a cold splash of reality. Many people find Mondays tough, groggy, and relentless. But laughter, science shows, can turn even the most sluggish Monday into a bright one. It boosts mood, reduces stress, and even improves productivity. So what better way to start your week than with a healthy dose of humor? Here are some jokes to bring a Monday smile.

The Alarm Clock Conspiracy
This morning, I hit snooze so many times, my alarm clock started questioning our relationship.
“Are you even listening to me anymore?” it beeped.
“I just need five more minutes,” I pleaded.
“You’ve said that six times!”
I’m convinced Monday and my alarm clock are in cahoots.

The Monday Meeting
At 9:00 AM sharp, my boss cheerfully said, “Let’s kick off the week with a quick Monday meeting.”
An intern whispered, “Does he not know what day it is?”
We all sat around the table pretending to care, nodding in unison like caffeine-deprived bobbleheads.
At one point, someone asked, “Can this wait until Tuesday?”
“Why?”
“Because we’d care more tomorrow.”

The Gym Plan
I told myself I’d start going to the gym on Monday. That was six Mondays ago.
Now I just walk past the gym and wave like an old friend I owe money to.

The Coffee Dilemma
On Mondays, my coffee needs coffee.
I ordered a double espresso, and the barista asked, “Tough morning?”
“No,” I said. “Tough decade. Monday just reminded me.”

The Motivation Meter
My phone gave me a motivational quote this morning:
“Rise and shine! You’re unstoppable!”
Clearly, my phone doesn’t know about Mondays.
Ten minutes later, it autocorrected “meeting” to “mourning.”
Even autocorrect knows what’s up.

Mondays are like math. I know they’re necessary, but I still don’t like them.

Monday is the day my coffee needs a coffee.

I survived Monday. Barely. Send snacks.

Whether you’re crawling out of bed or already knee-deep in emails, remember: Monday is a mindset. With a little humor and a lot of coffee, even the harshest start to the week can feel a little lighter. So next time you wake up dreading the alarm, crack a joke, share a laugh, and remind yourself—Monday may be tough, but you’re tougher… and funnier.

[PRESS RELEASE] – PORTLAND, Ore., July 28, 2025 – Grön (pronounced grewn), America’s fastest-growing cannabis edibles brand, announced the strategic acquisition of an adult-use processor license in New York. The acquisition of the Type 2 Processor license marks a key milestone for Grön as the company continues its rapid East Coast expansion and long-term investment in the New York cannabis market.

As a licensed New York cannabis processor, Grön will supercharge its product innovation pipeline and bring the company’s acclaimed production model to Hauppauge, N.Y., giving it a strategic location for distribution to New York City and key markets across the state. Grön first entered New York in 2024 through its innovative “reverse licensing” model.

The acquisition of an adult-use processor license in New York is a strategic departure from the reverse licensing model that Grön has pioneered across the country, accelerating growth faster than any other cannabis edibles brand, according to Hoodie Analytics. As a license holder in New York, Grön will have full control of the facility and operations used to make its acclaimed cannabis edibles, as well as providing the company with the ability to further innovate new product launches. Grön recently introduced 100% solventless hash rosin-infused edibles in New York, with plans for further product line extensions and innovations now fast-tracked.

“This acquisition gives us the infrastructure and independence to deepen our roots in New York and further expand our product lines and availability,” Grön CEO and founder Christine Apple said. “New York has been a pivotal chapter in our growth story, and it means so much to us to expand our presence while creating new jobs and opportunities. We’re appreciative of the New York OCM and their vision and willingness to work with companies like ours to continue delivering innovative cannabis products at scale and to be part of shaping what cannabis looks like in this incredible state.”

The newly acquired license includes an over 10,000-square-foot processing facility in Hauppauge, which will serve as the epicenter of Grön’s New York operations. The facility will support increasing product demand and enable the brand to expand its portfolio of cannabis-infused edibles tailored to the New York consumer.

The expansion by Grön comes at a time when the New York Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) is accelerating efforts to foster product innovation and market accessibility. With this move, Grön is poised to play a defining role in shaping the future of edibles in the Empire State.
