... Oh my God so in the final flourish finish of today's computer adventure: I got my mom to loan me the cost because I kept getting worried that the computer, being AWESOME & on clearance, would disappear before the funds transferring dominos got usable money to me. Which. Honestly, likely wouldn't have been that bad, but today's had some emotionally
exhausting piece and I really just. Wanted THIS ONE.
Not some other one close enough, today has been HARD okay, THIS ONE.

So I get all the way through checkout, except - it doesn't. No order confirmation, no email, nada. I walk away.
I come back, defend my food from the cat, try again. This time, one of the buttons is greyed out. Oh no. Oh, no, it DID happen - except no.
It's still showing as available, just not at or shippable to my store. Okay. I will widen the search. I will widen the search. I will - come up just short of sob-laughing without being able to stop.
There are two. Period. One is in Duluth. The other is in Houston.
I stare at the monitor some more, hiccuping. (Keeps threatening to tip into crying again, but not quite.) I have already put so much time & energy and outside assistance trying to get me this computer -

I bought it. My computer is in Houston. Tomorrow, I'm going to drive four hours to Houston, pick up the computer I have already bought, turn around and drive four hours back.
I don't know if my face knows if I'm laughing or crying. I kind of want to die a little.
THE ONLY ONE. IN THE ENTIRE STATE.

Damn. I'm glad you at least managed to get it after that ordeal. 
That computer had better know just how wanted it was.
Because wow. Congrats on surviving that!
HAHAHA JESUS I STILL HAVE TO GO.
I talked Tom into calling so I had human presence I was aware of to fall asleep, he said 'k but I only have 40 minutes'
... And now I am trying to find a shirt.
