Day two..

The first few days of not nail biting is usually pretty easy. Just cause they're so short, I look at them and there's barely anything to bite. Also, when I do decide to stop biting my nails, it's usually after I've bitten them so hardcore that they hurt. A lot. So much so that it hurts to do anything. pick anything up, scratch, wash my hair- ANYTHING.
This time, I have a secret weapon. An emery board. Every time I get the urge to bite, I'll just use the emery board to file them down a little bit. I got Tim to take a picture of them yesterday. I think I'll do that every other day, and then on the off days I'll give myself a maincure. I've been using a product called 'stop n' grow on and off for the last two years. I have less than a quarter of the bottle left. hopefully if I put it on every day (sometimes twice a day) it'll last me for a couple more months.

I've been really stressed about money lately. Everything revolves around money, doesn't it? not really so much 'money' but more 'debt'. so essentially the 'lack of money'.
I bought a little laptop 2 weeks back. i love it. this is part of my money issue. I won't be able to afford something, so I'll just Visa it up, then I'll regret it. so because of this little laptop, I promised myself I'd put myself on a more strict budget. and I have. like if I get $600, I'll put $420 in the shared (where all the bills, mortgage, insurance come out of) $40 for transportation (I only 'need' $20, but in the winter I need 40 cause I buy a bus pass, so I just keep it there so it doesn't confuse me.) and $40 for 'allowance' lol. not bad, but not great. $100 to Visa (I used to only do $60) and the rest for a 'float' if I get less than $600, I adjust it accordingly. taking a little bit off of everything. i'm going to work it out in percentages so I have a reference

70% to shared
7% to transportation
6% allowance
15% to Visa
the rest for a float.
(lol 2% float)

thanks for reading <3
