WELL DONE, RROB! Ohhhh now there will be shoes and fancy cheese and SO MUCH FUN.

yaay things!
guys the last time i went shopping was aug 15 or so and it was specifically for a dress/outfit to wear to a wedding b/c i had nothing appropriate. before that i hadn't been shopping in months. i haven't shoe shopped since i don't know when.
this is all fine, y'know, not being a consumer, etc. i mean, i certainly know i don't need to shop to have 'value' and meaning in this crazy world. but damn, stuff is falling apart. and ohman the thought of new shoes... dreamy
not to mention of course actually having to go to a job all day, y'know, where there are other people. it will be weird. (i get to keep my radio show too yaay)

The coolest thing about getting good at living without spending is how lucky you feel to afford the smallest luxuries. Taking a very very occasional cab or car service still feels like a thing of privilege to me.
