When one has the Monday blues, it means they are tired and stressed to be back at work (or just be back to Monday in general). Everyone has a shared "ugh" state of being.
Do not ask me how I am. It is Monday. You KNOW I have the Monday blues.
I had a rough weekend and now I have the Monday blues. This SUCKS!

It is a combination (portmanteau/neologism) of the words Quarantine and Thanksgiving. Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, this can be viewed as a novel holiday in which Thanksgiving is celebrated during a quarantine typically accompanied by virtual parties and get-together via Zoom or Skype. Social-distancing and a minimal number of guests are urged for such a holiday, but not always abided by during such times like those of COVID-19.
John: Are you excited for Quarantinesgiving on Zoom?
Mary: Not really, this is sad and depressing, I wish we could be in person, but I guess it’s better than nothing.
John: Hang in there, we can enjoy a virtual meal, toast, and good chats amongst our family and friends while keeping safe and not spreading this damn virus.
Mary: Okay, you’re right! I guess I didn’t think of it that way; in that case, Happy Quarantinesgiving!!!
