the payment finally went through yesterday night, so I was able to box it up and have it sent off today. i hope they like it and that the trouble they went through is worth it. it truly is a nice toy (hence why I'm getting it's replacement) but just can't do the medium firmness, but I do see how it could be appealing depending on its use.
Another trip to the post office makes me realize how big of a convenience desert I'm in. it's the same distance in every direction and its... not close. Postage costs are kicking my ass as well. I would have thought a box I'm having shipped within the same state would be cheaper than the price of a slightly lighter box going across country...
yeah, my next ones, I'll have to factor in shipping. The good news is that this one was a little cheaper than I anticipated, but...
then p@yp@l fees took almost $5.
I ordered my replacements for both Bump and Quartz soon after I got the confirmation, even though Quartz hasn't sold. Etsy kinda fucked that all up for me. i also couldn't make up my mind on having Bump be soft or super soft, but the shop owner assured me that in super soft, it will stand without falling over. not that it's a super big deal since I can't display any of my toys. and given how... ridged medium firmness is with all that texture, I think super soft will be nice.
I'm almost positive soft for Quartz will be great because it's pretty close to Zeke in shape and Zeke in soft is freaking luxury.
ive decided after I get the 3 replacements (HPE and BBA) and customs becomes available (XCA) i am done collecting.
yeah, yeah, yeah... I've said that before, but my bank account dictates. also, I've been getting sick more and more and can't even use them... also, the living arrangement means I don't even see my toys most of the time.
what's the point? granted, I don't regret it at all. this is something I really enjoy, even though it's gotten maybe a little out of hand (I only wanted 1 perfect dong, y'all!) I'm constantly going through my collection trying to see if there are any I want to sell to downsize, and I just really like them all. this is the first time in my life I've EVER been able to collect anything and feel safe.
but yeah... reality is, that's all I can allow myself. if I sell the remaining toys, I will technically only be paying out of pocket for the custom. I'll make an official sales post tomorrow and just have my fingers crossed that I can get replacements I need (want).
also... i need to leave the country by the end of the year. that parts not up for debate. ive been here too long already because of covid, my illness, hospital stays, surgeries, healing and... mental health. i need to get out before I have nothing left.
