I had a work freak out end of the day. Someone else messed up ( thankfully in email, so it won’t totally fall on me ) and it will screw up my whole week. Big time. And probably next week too.
I was working past quitting time & my dog was whining because I wasn’t getting out of my car. I left the work phone in the work car. I snuggled up on the couch with my pup & I opted for some therapeutic online window shopping. Shouldn’t be a problem it’s just window shopping.
Until it isn’t
Kerri Bradford restocked a bunch of stamps I’ve been waiting for.
I bought them all. I did pause for a minute, but I bought all the stamps I’d been waiting for.
I got to my cart, looked at the total, said to myself ‘F it’ I have the money who cares and hit checkout. I really do have the money, even if I hem & haw in the supermarket over which brand is 50 cents less.
It’s that kind of day.
And you know what, I feel good about it and can’t wait to get my stamps.

Good for you! It’s something you’ve been waiting for and you know you want, so why not reward yourself? (And you have the money partly because you hem and haw over 50 cents at the grocery. I do too, so I have that little extra for some guilt-free scrappy purchases!) PS - sorry you had a bad day. I hate those. Thank goodness for our therapy animals who love us no matter what! |

CONGRATULATIONS! I'm proud of you for feeding your creative mind and doing something good for yourself! Well that was probably a better option than drinking. In the shape I was in I might have taken that too far. |

If it were me, I'd consider it to be very inexpensive therapy. I don't know about where you live, nor have I looked lately, but I believe an hour with a therapist is way over $100. I'd suspect more like $125 to $150. As I've always said, my crafting is cheaper than therapy! Hope you feel better soon.

Take care of yourself. Even if it involves a little online shopping.

You are my people. I bought Shimelle's class yesterday after a shit day and it totally made me feel better. I'm a firm believer in some retail and regular therapy (since you have the $ available, if you didn't, then retail therapy can be bad of course). Good for you on some self care. You are worth every cent.

Good job!! Sometimes you just gotta say "F#$(* IT!" and take care of your headspace and your needs first.

My BFF gave me a mug that says, “It’s an Add To Cart kind of day.” That pretty much sums it all up.

Do you already have the stamps? No? Then it is a good purchase.

I'm saving up for CKC Hillsboro OR. A 3day vac, if I can get a sitter for The Queen. ( who turned 80 today. ) |

I literally had a list on my desk since she said on IG awhile ago there would be a restock so I made a physical list of possible wants. ( so I wouldn’t get confused scrolling thru & miss something ) And yesterday I was in the mood to just buy it all. Thank you all for the PVM. |

You would think after all these years I would know better than to read to the bottom of the thread...
Don, Happy Birthday to The Queen!
