Hello! I don’t have a post today because I was in a terrible mental state yesterday after receiving some news from a coworker (not devastating, but that’s how depression and anxiety work) that sent me into a downward spiral of ‘OMG BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR ME EVERYTHING WILL SUCK NOOOOOOO’. Along with that my husband’s car had to be taken to the shop and we found out the repair cost and that sent me into another downward spiral because whyyyyyyyy, I thought this curse was gone! Well, I am nothing if not over-dramatic.
Anywho. When I got home from work yesterday, after stopping at the library and loading up on some manga for comfort reading, I totally forgot about writing my Friday Favorite Five post. Whoops! So I guess that’s not happening today.
So, today I’m taking off from blogging and will return shortly. I’m going to try and regain a positive attitude through remembering I shouldn’t worry about these things in life that I have no control over and just work on the things that I can control. I’m going to enjoy my boss-free day at the office and hope work isn’t as busy as it was yesterday so I get some chill time. I’m also going out tonight with my friend to the baseball game to watch out team lose in splendor (most likely).
I’m going to try and have a great day, and you should too! Read lots of books, have lots of fun, and enjoy your weekend!
I’ll be back tomorrow with some post that I haven’t yet figured out because I’m still really, really, really behind. π
I’ve had to step back several times recently and tell myself, “That was out of your control, now you just have to deal with it.” I tend to be a worry-wart so that mantra has helped a little bit. It doesn’t fix the situation but it reminds me that I’ll find a way to deal with it, one way or another and life keeps going.
Thanks! Yeah, I’m trying remember that too and not let my anxiety get the best of me. π
I wish I lived near your library, so jealous seeing that your library has that many vols of Yona, hope you love it! & Hope your forthcoming days get better.
Thanks! We’re very lucky to have a pretty awesome library system here in and around Baltimore.
Aw, sorry to hear about your struggles this week. I know exactly what you mean about the way anxiety and depression work. Looks like you have a great haul here! Not sure what I’d do without the library. β€ Hope you have a good weekend!
Thank you! Hopefully I’ll get some relaxation in this weekend and my stress will let up a bit. π
I love our library! I keep trying to get a job there, but it’s easier to get your foot in the door part time and I just can’t afford to work part time right now.
I’m so so sorry that you’re not feeling the best, don’t feel bad about not posting! Taking resting time is most important! I’m happy you’re enjoying Yona of the Dawn XD
I’m sorry you had a bad week. Rest is important so please come back when you’re feeling refreshed.
Thanks, Merline!
I’m sorry the week ended on a stressful note – here’s to a restorative weekend.
Thank you!
Sometimes you just need that day off from posting to recuperate! Enjoy your massive manga stack!
For sure! Thank you, I’ve been enjoying it immensely. π
I know your weekend helped cheer you up because I’m behind visiting and have seen that you read a huge pile of manga – just looking forward to reading your thoughts on that.
Hope this week is a good one.

Hah! Well, I don’t know about cheering me up but I definitely forgot about my problems for a little while and escaped into a fun fantasy world over the weekend. π
Thanks! Hope you have a great week too!
