No update for yesterday. I stayed in my room the whole day glued to my laptop. One of those doom scroll-y days. I ended up spending money on some digital item. After that I slept, end of day. Today, I haven’t spent anything but I’ve been slaving away in the kitchen baking tons of bread for my family lol. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy it but today’s my first time baking as much as I did and I won’t…
Hello, hello. Today wasn’t so much of a no spend day. Went out to get tacos with my siblings and it was super good! I don’t regret going with them since we rarely get to go out together. It got me inspired to look up recipes on how to make different taco fillings so I don’t have to depend on going to shops to have them. They look pretty easy, I’m gonna have to try them sometime. On the…
Forgot to post yesterday but nothing special happened. I got off work and me and my boyfriend hung out and played board games. Managed not to spend any money and had fun in the mean time. We finally had the brain cells to understand how to play Sky Team and it was fun! We’re only on scenario 2, and we had a tough time cracking it lol. Maybe tomorrow. Today we technically bought food but it was…
Needed some pick me up after a really tough day. I debated super hard on whether I should’ve bought ice cream but decided I did everything I could (had breakfast and brought lunch) and this was more for comfort than anything. I work at a grocery store and over the past few months, with a new store manager and plenty more new management, work has started to become exhausting. Expectations are too…
Nothing eventful happened today. I felt less urges to spend my money so I’m happy about that. When I’m tired I just take a nap now. It helps a lot! Another day done. Picture of the sun this morning because we still have a lot of wildfire smoke.
I had an unexpected expense yesterday and because I can’t take it back anymore, I felt a lot of shame around it. Instead of spiralling though I took care of myself by making sure I ate and then took a fat nap. That took the edge off the emotions. I felt much more level headed when I woke up. Naps for the win. Anyway, today I spent my day watching IDL live on youtube (Brotherhood ftw!). After that…
How today's no-spend day went: I spent money. Unfortunately. But I'm not gonna give myself a hard time over it. I'm trying to get my spending under control anyway, it's not gonna be perfect and it's a bad coping mechanism that I've developed over the years when I feel bored, stressed, hungry or lack sleep. I'll strive to do better tomorrow. On the other hand, I made my own food the whole day, and…
It’s gonna be an experiment. I’m gonna be transparent and share that I have a bad spending problem. It’s poor impulse control and it’s something I want to badly change. It just occurred to me today that even though I have good intentions to cure my spending habit, I don’t even try to set myself up for success. Just quit cold turkey and hope for the best and obviously, it hasn’t been working out.…
My partner and I just started collecting board games last year. We're already pretty avid video gamers, him more than me, but between staring at a screen all day for work and school, we wanted another activity to share that is offline. We alreayd had a few card games but the more research we did, the deeper the rabbit hole went and now we have around 60 games in our collection. It's fun to play,…
I've always lived with some level of anxiety even as a child. Not having the greatest childhood definitely contributed to that but it's been there for as long as I can remember. Throughout the years, I've tried therapy, medication, exercise, other things I probably don't remember anymore to manage it. This year I finally gave meditation a shot. I thought it was absolute bogus. It didn't really…
