This week was awful. There's no getting round through it, I can't gloss it over... It's awful. It was the worst week I've had since that the typhoon Glenda and that week even offered little nuggets of happiness. This past week though... It was emotionally and physically horrible.
I don't want to get into the details. Suffice it to say that I had tons of work to do and I made a few mistakes with some of my work. I was called out and I felt really bad about it. This, plus PMS, made me very emotional. I cried (which I rarely do when it's because of work) and I felt very anxious. At one point, I got really troubled because I was dreaming of emails and work stuff. Not a good sign.
And then there was the fact that the daily commute (which I've been doing for a really long time, only now the journey's even longer) is physically draining me. I've been trying different routes and all that but this new house is really far. The price of a nicer, quieter neighborhood...
Let's not forget the blog. No, no, I don't see this blog as a problem. Far from it: it's my solace. But I can also see that work and life leaves me very little time to tend to my blog and visit other blogs. And I want to do that sooo much. Oh, life's a bitch.
Fortunately, I have Argie (true, human boyfriend) and Percy Jackson (true...ish boyfriend) to keep me sane through all of these. I've been reading Percy Jackson's Greek Gods and it's freaking funny. So far, it's making my jaw hurt from too much laughs. My worries are far from over, but at least my books are here to make me forget, even for just a few hours. And this, writing, helps relieve some of the stress. Plus, oh-kay, there was actually one good thing that happened last Thursday: I won Aimee's giveaway!
So I ask you, dear booknerds. Do books help you get through your worst times? I bet they do. What are your go-to books when you're feeling down and out? Do you go for the funny ones, like I do? Or do you pick fantasy, so you can lose yourself in another world? Tell me! Your recommendations will be much appreciated. :)
