Becoming a shopaholic

Ever since the pandemic started in early 2020, with the frequent lockdowns, am stuck in my home perpetually 24/7.

Even when going out, I only frequented the shops nearby my house or Bedok Mall.

As I am not a foodie, am not keen to travel distances just to queue up a long while to tapao nice food. A cup of coffee and anything would be sufficient for me.

Due to the lockdowns, have been wfh for a few months. 

Whenever I have some free time, I would get an impulse to shop online for space saving or home uses stuff. I find myself buying stuff 2-3x a week.

I bought another slippers from Sketchers when I got the chance to go back office on 1 Oct for that 1 day. Bought a wireless massenger also on that day, mainly because I can't go for massages. Pre-covid, me and my hubby would go Batam for a 2-day-1-night trip and get 2 hours of massages. Gone were those days.

Bought a set of 10 pcs of chopsticks...

at the rate that I am going, I will not be able to reach my financial goal as fast as I want to. 

The reason I could think off, is that I have nothing much to do at home. Apart from the usual household chores, I don't really have something that can keep me occupied. So usually I would turn to TV or game (only playing 1 game and get sick of it from time to time).

Tried to read some books but when I am stressed from work, the last thing I want to do is read....couldn't read even though I have borrowed some ebooks...

I hope wef tomorrow, I would spend more time exercising. I would be able to exercise as it is 2 weeks since my 2nd shot of Moderna.

Hopefully it takes away some of the boredom and stresses from work. Wanted to go for my runs, but when I think about the covid situation and my frail hubby, I decided to exercise at home instead, and lose some weight.

The stress from work, the upcoming HIP, my medical condition, is causing me mood swings, and everytime i would turn to online shopping to alleviate/run away. Having the blues thinking of tmr. And have been trying to stop myself from resigning on impulse too. 6 of my colleagues have left since June 21. Whenever I see someone leaving, my impulse would come.

Maybe today I will go take a walk.
