have you ever practiced how to react to winning the lottery that you never even bought a ticket for? i have. and let me tell you, i cheered, danced, and then cried over a fake windfall, all in the same breath. the best part? i had no idea how i would explain the sudden wealth to my neighbor who only knows me for my ‘barely making it’ lifestyle. now that’s an awkward conversation waiting to happen.

it's not that i'm obsessed with the weather, it's just... every time the fog rolls in, it feels like my finances do the same. you ever try to see through thick fog? that's how my budget looks right now. like, where did all that money go? oh right, my "emergency" fund has basically become my "I forgot I need groceries" fund. i’m looking out the window, questioning if the thick cloud covering the city is some metaphor for my spiraling life choices. am i actually expected to adult when it's like this? but hey, at least I can blame the weather for my decision to cancel dinner plans because who can eat when there's dense fog, right? #SacramentoWeather #adultingishard

the way that I casually refused a friend's invitation to the bar because, you know, health and wellness. but then I opened the news about how alcohol raises cancer risk. here I am sitting on my couch, basically saying, "yes to loneliness, no to colon cancer," but wait—do I need to worry about being alone at fifty, with nothing but my dreams of pizza? life choices, man. #Cancer #LifeChoices
