#a string of tight yarn tied to a branch in a tree

[inseparabiles]

managed to crawl my depressed ass all the way to the store and buy stuff and.

a harrowing thing happened where we have basically no money so we went through the whole thing counting pennies and getting every large pack of whatever was available at stupid discount prices. counted it'll be max like 18 euros, so added a pack of the cheapest edible ice cream we could find (they're still out of the one we wanted so this was difficult but worked out with chocolate/banana ice cream) which made it about 22.

went to the till and the cashier checked everything out and we rang our discounts card and it just. kept. fucking. climbing. the total? 6 euros. 9 euros. 16. 18. 22. 26??? 28???? OVER 30????

and the cashier chucked our -50% ketchup which was supposed to be like 1.50 at most through and it clocked the whole thing through the 30 mark and then she just. Slapped the total and went :) and I was like

hey uh. did you uh. remember to apply the -50% from this ketchup

like I was maybe going to be able to digest that I just suck at math (dyscalculia) and maybe some of the discounts we'd found didn't apply (our discounts card has been behaving badly but we have no energy to go through the customer service nonsense to rectify the situation) and she was like oooohhh no sorry and channeled the machine for a bit and pressed a button and t. th. the total went down to 22 euros and I was like.

I was like. Oh my god. My fucking life. My fucking life is saved. I can't even express how saved it is when there's 2 weeks left to payday but we only have 34 euros LMFAO

anyway got our stack of discount foods including 3kg of frozen sausage/potato/onion mix (<3 beloved starvation food)

came home and ate a bunch of our milquetoast chocolate/banana ice cream and. then some of our discounted meatballs (one euro) and feeling right now like our brain is NOT running on fumes and out of every imaginable source of energy beside consuming its own matter and

when I went to put the meatballs back in the fridge.

The fucking ice cream was there.

In the fridge. On the shelf next to a carton of milk.

IN THE FRIDGE

what the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck I want a brain transplant.

Anyway it's in the freezer now and things should be as they need be and ? but. God it's been a rough day I think
