I guess I too am recovering to a degree. But I also feel I am just being lazy. I am also a horrible, horrible procrastinator. Sitting watching TV or playing a game on the computer takes as much energy as drawing something or trying to put to paper one of my many story ideas. But - meh.
And I haven’t bought a gun in a couple years. When I do, I buy used and usually under market value. Where I squander money is mostly on food and snacks around work for convenience and because I am tired of my prepared meals I usually eat. And those Reeces Pieces whisper to me. “Hi, 44! We are nummy and yummy, and the food of aliens! You need to eat us! Please eat us!” I have curbed my Boba Fett spending though. And my Mt Dew addiction is down to just 2 a day. So that’s good. My dining room looks like hoarders and I need to sell lots of old stuff, but selling stuff and getting a value that doesn’t make me think it isn’t even worth also takes time and energy and doing nothing is easier.
