My allergies to cats and dogs have prevented me from having my own pet. Growing up on a farm was often uncomfortable, as I had allergies to pollen, trees, mold, dust, animal dander, and grass. I feel like animal allergies are the worst, as I truly love many animals. You know that meme that says,… Continue reading Doodles
WEEK 5: April 14-20, 2024
This week I felt guilty about thinking about buying skin cream. I used up all the extra cream I had at home, including a scented little bottle that had me scratchin’ after I used it!

Week 2 Update: March 24-30, 2024
This week was a lighter week for monthly bills, so I was able to save a lot more this week than Week 1. It was a bit easier for me, as I didn’t have an urge to buy anything unnecessary. Just food, paid parking at the hospital (for an appointment), and a car wash. My… Continue reading Week 2 Update: March 24-30, 2024
