    Enjoying the wonders of capitalism. Just got the last payday before rent is due, and I need new shoes. New balance apparently no longer makes the only “reasonably affordable” shoe that fits me (at a low $200, genetic lottery tax) in any color other than bright gray. Oh and it’s an “updated” model so it might not fit me now anyway.

    Tonight I dropped a plate and a shard somehow nicked my big toe, I’ll have to see how that looks/feels in the morning. Was hyping myself up to start going to the gym, so I guess I was due to somehow injure myself and put a stop to that.

    I’d like to not feel broke, for like, a week. I bet it feels nice. Haven’t had savings since I moved out of my parents house, any time I try something happens and I have to spend it.

      eBay is a great place to buy used shoes for a reasonable price. Alternatively shoebacca has some good deals too.

        I wish I could do online ordering, I just can’t deal with the constant back and forth shipping till I find SOMETHING that fits.

        I got feet weird shaped enough for OF 😅
