I never thought this would be possible

wiseheartNo, seriously. It's the weirdest thing that has happened to me in a very long time.
Today, I finally went to choir practice - mostly because I wanted to visit the Chinese store near to school, where I always buy washing powder, cosmetics and the likes. They also sell ground coffee, considerably cheaper than grocery stores (have you also noticed how the price of coffee has skyrocketed lately?). In any case, I bought all the stuff I needed, then I visited the sewing supplies shop nearby, and finally another shop for household and kitchen utensils, where I found - after literal years of looking - a 20cm by 20cm square cake tin. It wasn't exactly cheap, but I bought it nonetheless. It was one of those must-have things.
Then I went over to school for choir practice and noticed that my always so comfortable shoes felt weird; as if I'd been walking on uneven stones. You'd never guess what was happening: the stupid plastic foam soles of my shoes were crumbling off. I kid you not! By the time I reached school (which was a really short walk) big parts of it were breaking away, and I was practically walking on the inner soles! I was lucky that my friend Eenie gave me a lift home, otherwise it would have been a really uncomfortable trip.
My choir mates pointed out a shoemaker's near school. I'll try to go and get a new sole for my shoes. This is very annoying. It's so bloody hard to find shoes for my puffy feet, they are supposed to last a bit longer, dammit!
Other than that, Mum had a visit from her physiotherapist who's still recovering from knee surgery but can do such short private sessions already, and my friend Elise came over to deliver the ingredients for the baking commission.
