Hate The Shops :)

[green_idylls]

 So Aus is in a bit of a cost of living crisis rn, and our major grocery shops are doing all sorts of underhanded shit to wring out more pennies and increase their duopolistic power. And I'm like... not super good with money in an ADHD way, like I wring my hands over buying a $20 frying pan but will buy $80 of snacks without blinking, lol. And I get really overstimulated by shops - visual stimulation is the worst for me, it's like every brightly coloured package and specials tag is screaming at me, and I go into this like.... Wooze State where I'm just floating around trying not to bump into anyone and checking my grocery list five times a second.

Money stress, overstim stress, social stress - Fuck The Shops. I haven't been in like two weeks and I'm out of not only food, but also toilet paper, so I kinda have to go today. The upside is, it's a really nice walk to get there!

(Also, idk if this is how you Dreamwidth. I'm sort of just yelling into the void, but maybe that's the point?)
