WHY IS EVERYTHING SO STRESSFUL?

I still didn't have an Internet connection today and it's been almost 3 days straight, so that really frustrated me. It's so weird that our Internet connection got cut so quickly and it's taking a while for them to restore it, despite having the weather be perfectly clear these past few days. In the morning, I just decided to go to Starbucks on 32nd Street so I could work there. On the way, I stopped by a truck that spilled some beer on the street and, when I came back, they had cleaned it up but still had some glass shrapnel on the street.

I was able to go to my usual Starbucks place and order some food and coffee. For the rest of the day, I was mostly busy but also stressed because, every time I had to leave my desk, I was worried that someone might steal my MacBook for whatever reason. I was extremely paranoid about having it stolen. Thankfully, it wasn't and it was me mostly seated at the comfy part of the building the whole afternoon. After that, I went to Market! Market! to buy my outfit for this Friday's "boho party" and I thought that I found some good fits. Still, it was kind of expensive at around 1,800 for everything. Additionally, I bought a PLDT 5G prepaid router because I read good reviews on Reddit about it. The official store didn't have it so I had to buy it from this lady that marked up the price to 2,500 Pesos from 1,500 Pesos. I wasn't getting scammed, but I was finessed and I had my desperation taken advantage of, which really rubbed me the wrong way. Booking for a ride home also added to my stress.

I got home super stressed and extremely irritated because this day just seemed to go on forever. Even though our Internet connection was restored, I had gone through hell just to get it back again. Days like this remind me that "forever days" can come in the form of "good forever days" and "bad forever days" where the pain of today's challenges seemed to last forever.
