Stress Relief (The Office)

I came home Monday afternoon crying. My car has been giving me trouble. I have taken it to the shop five times since buying it in October. Apparently, it needs to return to the shop for a sixth time. At any time my brakes will give out. Too bad I don't have the $300 to repair it. I am hoping my brakes continue to work till the end of the week. I will be getting my tax refund in a week. Until then I am driving around the city with one hand on the steering wheel, and the other hand on the emergency break.

Monday afternoon I was mad at God, mad at myself, and mad at my car. I could have come home and taken a warm, bubble bath. I could have come home and spoken with my roommates about my ills. I could have spent time in prayer. Instead I watched The Office.

Ironically, this weeks episode was called Stress Relief!!! Watching The Office to release the tension in my neck probably wasn't the best "Christian" approach. But it worked!!! I was really depressed, and watching that episode made all my worries dissipate. This last episode proved that laughter is a good medicine.
