Consumerism, multiple car trips: tiring
wow. It's been several years since I visited 6 different stores in a local car trip over 4 hrs. We started off at 10:30 am. Not early.
Part of this was for fun to see certain stores, buy some stuff. And my friend loves driving. She drives very well. (She understands also about cycling, transit, that's part of her paid job for govn't.)
We went to an Italian store for lovely lunch +some groceries, then Middle Eastern bakery + down the road, Middle Eastern grocery store, beauty hair products store, fabric store (which now I figure out by bike how to get there), Polish grocery store and finally a big box grocery store.
This time no need to go visit a Chinese supermarket.:D
I prepared supper for us. I was strangely tired. My friend was more tired because she did the driving. She napped.
The only reason I can figure out my tiredness...was ..well all that consumerism. Which I don't experience as ...a cyclist. Usually I just visit 3 stores/establishments.because I can't and don't need to buy much.
Can consumerism be tiring?
