MyPMS for this month‘s menstrual cycle is really kicking my ass. I haven’t felt PMS symptoms like this since I was in my teens and early 20s. Goddammit. This sucks. That is all. Cheers, bee-yotch.
What the fuck is wrong with me? I keep telling myself over & over & over again that I should quit watching all those mind-numbing, life-draining, dumb reality TV shows on the Bravo network. I probably tell myself this at least 3 to 4 times per day. As I am scrolling through the endless list of channels & programming, I always end up at the Bravo network, at first thinking I’ll leave a show on making mindless background noise while I am doing other things, then ending up completely engrossed in the episode, being hooked on the entire season of the show.
I don’t want to be hooked on all of these random reality shows, but Bravo has a way of grabbing me with their talons & not letting go. I can’t even begin to understand how or why I get so hooked on a show that I will end up watching the entire season, so laser focused on all the details of all the puffed-up, phony drama & “family” in-fighting.
I wish I could quit, just like an ex-smoker to cigarettes. I don’t even remotely relate to, or like any of the cast members of these shows. It kills me a little more each time I turn on my TV knowing I’ll end up watching one of their shows, which will only increase their ratings & boost their popularity, which will keep them on air for far longer than they should be.
I hate the fact that I watch almost all of the Real Housewives franchises. I also dabble in a few of the Below Deck franchises from time to time. I also am extremely mad at myself for knowing who Lisa Vanderpimp is & all of her oversexed restaurant staff. And, yes, I have been keeping up with all of the Kyle-Amanda-West romance fallout from Summer House. Ugh 😩
Please, I need help to kick this bad habit of defaulting to stupid reality shows when I can’t find anything new to watch. I want to forget all of these people’s names & faces, & all of their shitty drama. I should get my drama fix by watching real & actual drama unfold on the nightly national news. These reality shows do not add any value to my life, & what really sucks is I’m probably not going to stop watching, & I have nobody in my life I can talk to about it. 😔
Until the next episode, cheers.

Where would you go on a shopping spree?
Of course, you can probably guess what I would say. I am so predictable. I would go on a shopping spree in Japan, like, ALL OVER JAPAN. If the term ‘shopping spree’ included shopping around for airline tickets, hotel rooms, and various modes of transportation, then I would shop in all the Japan cities I’ve dreamt of visiting. If I was only limited to one city, then I would choose Tokyo.
Tokyo is the main hub where Jian & I shop the most. When we are in Tokyo with our little bean (currency conversion permitting), we tend to go nuts on shopping. Tokyo is the epicenter of all our absolute favorite brands and stores. We could spend an entire month in Tokyo going on a shopping spree & still not even get everything we wanted. Also, as my child has gotten older, become more aware, & has been able to appreciate & understand things more, she has also developed her own love of brands & stores in Tokyo.
Geez, just thinking about an absolute shopping spree, supposing the cost was not coming out of our own pockets (aka paid for by someone else), & there was no spending limit, sounds extremely enticing. Also, being the ever-generous person that I am, I can already imagine myself going hog wild on buying a shit ton of gifts for friends & family. All day long, I’d carry around a 5 pound bag of coins, just so I could go balls out on all the capsule machines.
Of course, I would have to throw a wet blanket on a lighthearted, what-if scenario, & bring up my personal elephant in the room. All this time that I am imagining a wild & carefree shopping spree, I can’t help but think about over-consumption & the big questions looming over my head, “Where am I going to put all of my purchases once I get home?” “How am I going to store everything?” I don’t want to waste anything. What the fuck. I’m going to end this here before I get too deep. Cha-ching & Cheers. 💰
