As you noted in your introduction, shopping is very exhausting for me. It can be fun as long as I have all my ducks in a row: I know exactly where I'm going, exactly what I want to get, etc. And I like to preshop online before I go. But after about an hour, I'm starting to flag. It doesn't help that the only places that carry petite sizes are in really huge malls, which means I can't go to a smaller, quieter boutique. That's why I shop online most of the timeāit's much less draining. If I had only one free afternoon during the week, I would most certainly not spend it shopping! I might spend it *thinking* about what I want to buy, though.
