Stress

Last week was one of the most stressful weeks of the year. It was pretty bad. So, I decided to take Sunday off. No school work at all. Nothing. Although I did buy something that was for school. Does that count? Anyway, I decided to spend the day shopping. Spending money on stuff I absolutely don't need always seems to calm me down. I bought a few things at Cost Plus. Love that store. I was using a gift card that a friend gave me for my birthday. I bought a rug at Bed, Bath and Beyond. I used a 20% off coupon I got in the mail. I browsed Barnes and Noble. Well, I did more than browse...I bought a couple books. While I was standing on line, there was a little boy, maybe 6 years old who kept asking his mom what stress was. I think he saw a little book that had stress in the title. The mom told him it's when you're frustrated, angry. I thought how great it is that this little boy has absolutely no idea what stress is. I hope he doesn't know its evilness for a very long time. After Barnes, I went over to Macys to walk around. I bought a couple shirts. One of the shirts was 50% off, PLUS I had a 15% off coupon. Check me out with all my coupons! I checked out the new Vons in Seal Beach. I got lunch. I chilled out at home for a little bit. I ended the day with a walk along the beach. I try to walk the beach at least twice a week. I walk the bike path from Granada to Junipero. Hmmm, maybe I shouldn't have written that in case one of you want to kidnap me or something. Aha, but you don't know what days I walk! Wait! You know one of them is Sunday. Guess I'll have to mix up the days now. Anyway, walking isn't exactly something I enjoy doing. It's definitely a chore...but a necessary one. Overall, it was a pretty good day.
