Last month I ordered a bridal headpiece from a lovely shop on etsy.com. It was a gorgeous headpiece - I loved it so much that I was willing to pay a hefty price for it (well, hefty for what it is). I paid with my PayPal, expecting the package to be delivered to my doorstep a week later.
Only it wasn't.
I waited, and waited. Weeks have passed, I checked the status on the US Post Office daily and it kept displaying the same message: "Package is in transit."
I was getting antsy.
I wrote to the shop, and while the shopowner was as nice and polite as she could be, she just told me to be patient and wait a bit longer.
Then I started to get really antsy. It's already been 4 weeks. Usually overseas parcels only take a week to get to HK! (Think ASOS.) Did the parcel get lost? Will the shop agree to send me a replacement? Will I be able to get my money back if they refuse? I was worried sick.
And then today, I went to the US Post Office website to check the status again. Ta-da!!! The parcel is in Hong Kong! It's here! It's fine!
As the wedding day approaches, I find myself worrying a lot... it's not good. I wish I knew how to stop it (maybe yoga will help?)... because most of the time, just like this small incident, I just stress myself out and kill zillions of brain cells by worrying for nothing.
*Take a deep breath*
*Repeat after me*
Everything will be fine.
