Ugh. Just added up money that was spent on my recent trip. Obviously it was...a lot, even though we used points to get there and back, and points to stay at a couple hotels. But before the trip, we were fairly equal in how much we'd spent (like, she paid for a couple AirBnbs, I paid for the train tickets, etc). But I know there were a bunch of things we were like "oh, you get that and I'll pay you later" or "I'll get this because you got that". But I tried to write down a few of the bigger ones--and added them to our spreadsheet, and I think she owes me like $400? But I probably forgot some things, and am not sure how to go between "well, I loaned you $4 to get into the temple, and then you bought my breakfast at 7-11" and "well, I spent $800 more than you so..." I don't need or want to be super picky and detailed about it, but when you start talking a few hundred bucks...yeah....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, was that our Kristin on It's Been a Minute??

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

meara, my friend and I did something similar when we traveled in China way back when, only our split was that she bought all the stuff that was purchased in local money and I bought all the things that needed international exchange money. In the end of our trip we calculated it out and figured out that one of us owed the other about $200 or so and we paid it. I can't even remember now who paid who. It was no big deal.

Also it feeds a bit of spiraling of me seeing everything that needs to be done and internally freaking out at doing so little of the real stuff that needs doing.

Holy moly this is so me

Yeah, I think a big part is like, if I was going to be super picky about amounts less than $20 I should've kept more careful track?? But $20 here and $30 there also adds up? I'm hoping she will be like "yes, I paid for x y and z also so here's the numbers"

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Found out we had a shooting in the alley behind my building this morning, by a kitchen employee of the place I ate last night. Not loving the neighborhood drama at the moment. (Note to my bartender from dinner: it's not self-defense if someone keeps shooting at a person who's running away.)

On the plus side, I got a couple to take one of the kittens home, and got in touch with a woman who has or is getting a trap to round up the mama cat for spaying.

Yikes, Matt.

Fingers crossed that the daith piercing works, Steph!

I had to convince myself to get out of bed today because I'm flying to Michigan tomorrow for Thanksgiving. I'm also preparing for four birthdays while I'm there. Most of my errands are done, so I just need to finish up everything so I can go to bed early.
