went through the budgeting app

Went through the budgeting app tonight for the first time in a while, mostly just sorting things into categories like I’m supposed to. The skincare and dermatologist category turned out bigger than I expected, not shocking exactly, but seeing it all stacked together hit different than just remembering it in pieces. All those creams I bought hoping something would finally click… most of them are just sitting in the bathroom cabinet now, barely touched. I didn’t get upset about it, just sat there scrolling through the same few stores over and over, feeling kind of flat. Started wondering if I should stop buying anything new for a while and just leave my skin alone, see what happens (easier to say that at midnight than to actually do it). Put the laptop down after that and picked the knitting back up for a bit, even with the needle still out of commission from the other night. Didn’t get far with it, but it helped settle my hands down a little. Anyway. Seeing it laid out like that didn’t make the week worse, just made it feel more real than it already did.
