Three years in, and the only part of the restock I still dread is the gap between sending payment and getting any confirmation. I used to refresh every hour like it was a live score. Now I put the date in my calendar, write 'wait' next to it, and go to bed.
My last cycle took six days; the one before that was eleven. Same routine, different weather. The process hasn't gotten less odd, but my nervous system has.
I reread old threads here whenever I start overthinking it, and someone always has a calmer version of the same story. Does the waiting stretch feel shorter for you once you've done enough of them, or does it just get easier to ignore?
