Shopping anxieties

Currently away this week with boyfriend, his mum and his son. I've been getting a bit stressed because I'm not really sure what I should be doing. I've enjoyed listening to Audible but it's rude sticking my headphones on. 

HHis mum has been cooking most the week. I'm not comfortable doing that as it's not my kitchen and also I'm a rubbish cook. A 20 minute meal will take me 90 mins - 2hours to cook (many tears and swearing too). Alas, I have found a one pan recipe and just have to get on with it.

Now, another massive issue is shopping. I rarely did the shops before and bulk buy so I don't have to go out (or shop online). The pandemic helped with not having to go to shops. I was supposed to get the ingredients from Aldi just now. Instead I've stressed and cried and not gone. I'm peeved because I took a deep breath, I wasn't happy but I was going to give the shopping a go. Prepped a list, got bags, mask etc. Then bf said his mum was coming. Grocery stores are not for days out. So now they have gone together. I've retreated to the bedroom and can't face anyone.

Well done if you made it this far. In summary, shopping is rubbish, it's even more stressful with additional pandemic rules; cooking is stressful; wearing a bra is stressful; being in the company of others all the time is stressful.
