As I’m talking to you all now, I’m so annoyed at myself. I dont even know what is wrong with me again.I was sent to go grocery shopping today. Normally it’s either my mom or elder sister who does the shopping but due to their schedule, I had to do the shopping today which was no big deal for me because I had plans of going to the mall already.My mom made the list and the number one on the list was medication for myself because I’ve been experiencing these series of stomach aches for sometime.
I also had my own list and the only thing on that list was a portable tripod/phone stand just to help me take good pictures for hive. I went to the mall,searched everywhere and couldn’t get the tripod and just when I was about to leave I saw these cute drinking glasses and mugs. I had no plans of buying these. Tell me why by the time I realized I was out of the shopping mall with those drinking glasses?
I went to another shopping mall and couldn’t get the tripod.Tell me why I left that place with an eyeliner. The funny part is that I dont even know how to do makeup. I was still looking for the tripod and roamed the whole of town and was finally directed to this electrical shop. I got it and just when I left the shop, I saw a stationery shop. Now tell me why I bought these multicolored A4 sheets?
I then remembered to pass by my aunt’s shop to greet her because it’s been a while since I met her. I knew I wasn’t going to buy anything from her so I was really confident about going.Tell me why I bought a bag and a purse from the bag shop beside hers(at this point I’m even frustrated writing this). After I left her shop, I then remembered the list my mom made so I hurriedly went to a nearby supermarket to get them.
If there’s one thing my family doesn’t buy it’s plantain because we grow plantain at home and there’s always plantain in abundance at the kitchen. We also use only brown sugar and nobody at home even likes sugary stuff, not even me.Tell me why I bought plantain, white sugar, sugary biscuits and even toothbrush (just because the color looked nice) which I was lamenting to @nkemakonam89 about some hours ago. I’ve returned home without even buying the medication which was number 1 on the list. Yes, medication for my own self.
At this point I’ve just concluded I’m being followed by the spirit of shopping and I’ve decided to embark on some 7 days fasting to cast that spirit away.
I dont think I love shopping because I didnt even feel any excitement after getting all those unnecessary stuff, just regrets.
Let me go and hide all the stuff quickly before my mom comes home.
