@Totalanimefan: yeah that's very true. I needed new shoes for a while though, so i'm sure that's also a big part of why my feet hurt so much. My mom bought me two new pairs, and they should arrive soon. oh wow, that sounds like a lot. Good you're enjoying it though. I have to find a new job, i got fired yesterday because i had missed too much time due to mental health days and other various non-covid illnesses. I was pretty upset over it yesterday, but i'm doing okay now. However, in order to be able to live without a roommate once my mother in law moves out, i need to have a second job. Also, our level of comfort is being impacted, and so is our anniversary plans. Which sucks, but it is what it is. My mom's going to help us out too until i can straighten out my paychecks, which really, i think i just need a month to do, even if i don't find another job, at least until my mother in law moves out.
