Flattened

[wiseheart]

I went grocery shopping in the morning, which meant three different tours within four hours - every item offered for a reduced price was offered by a different supermarket, and they are in three different directions, of course. I also paid my closest craft shops a visit on my way an bought two things I didn't really need... but I felt I deserved a treat after all this. At least the automated coffee machine worked in the Savoya shopping center - always a delight.

Higher brain functions have shut down after that, so not much else was done today. But that's okay. I really needed the rest.

At least you won't have to go shopping again for a few days.

I'm determined not to leave the house until Tuesday!

The heat fried my brain yesterday, too.

For me it is more the exhaustion — not so much the physical one as the mental one. For nearly four years I had nothing but housework and caregiving and the occasional crafting or baking frenzy; the monotony hollows me out from the inside. All my life I was surrounded by peope; I was not made to be a hermit. Even if sometimes (well, quite often, to tell the truth) those people were annoying, I still miss them.

And now they are already talking about the covid wave, which will take over from the heat wave...Great! Just great!! We are supposed to play hermit for another season!

Which is why I've come to value LJ so much more than before. If I couldn't "talk" to you and elwenlj and adafrog and meathiel on the daily basis, not to mention a few others who show up more or less regularly, I think I'd have gone mad already. My RL friends are all so busy, either with work or with kids/grandkids, if I didn't hunt them down from time to time we wouldn't have any contact at all! You know how it is: aus den Augen, aus dem Sinn. :(

That's a lot of shopping.

It is, but now I'm covered till Tuesday, at the very least. ;))

I love how you could slip crafty rewards between the separate errands for the sales items:)
And a well-deserved rest after all that activity sounds wonderful!

Those visits to the crafts shops are my consolation price. *g*
