How I Stress Bought 9 Books

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


I’ve had a week. It’s (only) Wednesday at this point and I’ll be getting a box in a few days I’m sure because of my deplorable actions on Monday.

I’m not one to stress (I am actually) and so last week’s 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, I’ve been wore out.

It’s okay because I’m going on a 2 day vacation to not worry about work!

Monday after work I didn’t 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 “Place Order” before I could get back to some sort of sane mentality.

I’m okay. My wallet? 🙃 It’s probably in therapy.

You’ll be reading about those books soon I am sure. 🙂


Do you ever stress buy things or do something else when stressed? 🤔

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

  2. 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 don’t 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! 📚
