Sat down last night and actually opened my budget spreadsheet again after ignoring it for something like 4 months. Between job hunting and just feeling wiped out from the skin stuff, tracking money was the first thing to go. Went through my card statements and turns out I’ve spent $63 on takeout coffee since June, more than I expected but less scary than I thought it’d be. Knitting’s still the thing keeping my hands busy in the evenings instead of scratching, on my scond scarf now, started it back in July. Job hunting is its own slow grind, sent out 11 applications this month and heard back from 2. Small stuff, but it felt good to sit with the numbers instead of avoiding them for once… one less thing hanging over me this week.
