The week everything went right... and I still can't figure out why

Last Thursday I had one of those days where nothing went wrong. I found $20 in an old jacket, got a parking spot right in front of the store, and a customer actually thanked me for helping them pick out the right drill bit. By Friday I was suspicious. Usually my weeks are a string of small disasters like the time a shelf collapsed on a display of lawn fertilizer. But that whole week was just... smooth. No returns, no angry phone calls, no broken pallets. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. Has anyone else had a random perfect week that made you more nervous than a bad one?

Used to think smooth weeks were boring... now I get the anxiety thing.

And yeah Jessica that's the weird part - when things go too smooth my brain starts treating it like the quiet before a storm instead of just a good day. Almost feels like I'm waiting for the universe to remember it owes me a disaster or something.

The smooth weeks are the ones that really mess with your head, I get that. But personally, I'd take a boring, easy week over a chaotic one any day. All that waiting for something bad to happen just feels like wasted energy to me. Bad things are going to happen anyway, so why borrow trouble? Enjoy the $20, the parking spot, and the satisfied customer. Those little wins are rare enough without overthinking them. Life doesn't owe you a disaster just because things went right for a change.
