This is the story of a girl, who got stressed and bought the whole world (or 9 books).
Absolutely (Story of a Girl) by Nine Days | Spotify
Iโve had a week. Itโs (only) Wednesday at this point and Iโll be getting a box in a few days Iโm sure because of my deplorable actions on Monday.
Iโm not one to stress (I am actually) and so last weekโs mess of a week at work kind of launched me into a Monday that was already a bit stressful.
I was going in with an open mind, positive attitude, but after technical issues that caused us to be over 3 hours delayed starting the work day, I lost steam and felt pressure (mostly from myself) regarding tasks for the day and staying on top of things to get done. Between training someone, being the team captain so to speak while my manager is on vacation and handling important things for accounting, Iโve been wore out.
Itโs okay because Iโm going on a 2 day vacation to not worry about work!
Monday after work I didnโt want to do anything. I barely wanted to read. I got on my phone trying to find motivation in the form of searching for Christmas books I can read this year.
In a short amount of time, I had suddenly added 9 (nine!!) books to my cart and hit โPlace Orderโ before I could get back to some sort of sane mentality.
Iโm okay. My wallet? ๐ Itโs probably in therapy.
Youโll be reading about those books soon I am sure. ๐
Do you ever stress buy things or do something else when stressed? ๐ค

Better to buy books than junk ๐
I tend to hang out at the coffee shop when I am stressed, but I also hang out there when I am not ๐

Yes! I can relate. I used to be a lot worse about retail therapy. But it still happens at times. I also stress-read and stress-eat sometimes. Ugh! But donโt be too hard on yourself. At least you have some good books to look forward to. And books are never a waste of money since you will definitely read them at some point! ๐
