A week
Hi there,
Can I say: "My car died on me Monday morning. What a lousy way to start a week!"
I mean to say "any week" (as opposed to "the week", which is that particular week). Is the "a week" OK/natural to native ears?

Yes, you can say that. Both 'a week' and 'the week' are correct and natural. As you say, 'a week' implies 'any week'.
