Things are…crappy right now. Stacked layers of suck, most of which I can do nothing about, and the slivers I might possibly be able to effect, I..don’t really have the mental or emotional strength/bravery to actually do.

I need someone to just come in and be brave and adult for me for like, ten minutes. Half hour, tops. I think. Probably that would be long enough.

I don’t have that, though, so instead I duck my head and make tiny steps with various dolls and play Animal Crossing and try to not to cry.

And also to ignore my longing for some peanut butter cup cookies. *sighs*

Anyway. I went to AliExpress to possibly look for some cheap knock-off Monster High shit, and when I logged in to add something to my wishlist, they got all “HEY WELCOME BACK OMG HAVE A $4 COUPON” and it was good on any $5+ order, so, um. I bought a random lot of 10 shoes. With my luck, I will not get either of the pairs I really want, or even the ones I wouldn’t mind, but hey, with the coupon I spent just under a buck-eighty, so…worth it.

And if I do miraculously get one (or both) of the pairs I really hope for, it will fucking reach back into time and be the highlight of my week.

Because they will take like, a month to get here.

Because they are coming from China.

So it will…look, I didn’t say it was funny, okay? Shut up.
