Confused about the reference? It's because this book has been my companion since I bought it yesterday: It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken.

Yep. I went there. Some of you, my faithful readers, may think it's a last-ditch effort, but some of you may appreciate it. Truthfully, a bit of the stuff in this book is stuff I've already heard from friends, or things I've already done for myself, but it was refreshing to read it in this book simply because the authors weren't condescending or trying to be therapeutic in anyway. It was candid, straight-forward, and quite fun actually.
And yes, all of those sticky notes sticking out are things I've flagged as relatable, worth another reminder, or a need to do! Considering the book is nearly 300 pages, the fact I've got only about 25 stickies isn't bad, (never mind the fact that one of them actually cordons off a whole chapter).
In any case, I've been feeling really low lately so I decided to spend my afternoon yesterday looking at books, shoes, and dresses. I ended up buying 5 other books apart from this one (and debated also buying The Break-Up Bible, but figured I didn't want to look desperate at the check-out by buying two "self-help" books). I also ended up buying a dress (questionable as to where or when I will actually wear this dress, but it was really pretty ... and on sale). While I still felt quite low after all of those purchases, I definitely felt better after reading the first 200 pages last night.
Admittedly, I was quite cranky this morning, but I figure it's because I didn't get much sleep - when you spend an entire weekend sleeping because muscle relaxants are a euphemism for tranquilizers and only get 6 hours of sleep, I think you'd be cranky too. Anyway, work was just a sensory overload for me this morning (however, the teacher and my partner CDS also felt the same way), so it was nice to sit in a quiet Starbucks over lunch and power through another 30 pages. Unfortunately, that pleasantness only lasted an hour into my afternoon shift ... but coming home to an empty house and powering through the remainder of the book before everyone else got home was especially relaxing.
I need to do more for myself (without spending more money ... I've already gone through the shopping phase quite thoroughly these past few weeks), to feel good about myself. So tomorrow, an impromptu day trip! If successful, I may write about it tomorrow. Of course, the weather doesn't seem to be cooperating this evening, so we'll see what happens in the morning I guess! Regardless of if I get out of town or not, I will definitely be doing something.
Til next! Love from the budding Break-up Warrior Princess and soon-to-be SuperFox!
