Didn’t break the CD after all

Went to the bank today to ask what breaking the CD early would cost. Penalty’s $340 if I close it now versus riding out the last 3 months.

Didn’t close it. Just sat in the car after, heater running, not really going anywhere.

3 months without a paycheck and I’m doing math on $340 like it’ll fix something. It won’t. The savings account’s already thinner than I want to admit.

Scalp’s been quiet today, actually — noticed on the drive home I wasn’t picking at my eyebrow at every red light for once.

Knee’s still cranky from this morning’s run too. Everything’s asking something of me at the same time and today I just don’t have it to give…

The $340 math at 11pm, relatable. I do the same with my step count some nights, like 20 minutes of walking will undo the rest of it.

Running the heater in a parked car just to do math you already know the answer to is such a specific form of stress, not gonna lie! I did the same thing with a subscription I kept meaning to cancel, sat in the driveway for like 15 minutes doing nothing useful with that time either.
