Missed a day because am currently under the weather and spent most of yesterday realizing I am, indeed, under the weather, leaving work early, and passing out. The bonus is that no money was spent today, hooray! But downside is feeling gross and exhausted. Am feeling better than last night, though, which is good, because I have a rescheduled hair appointment tomorrow morning.

I know I could do this cheaper, but I hate hair appointments and have found someone that I don't mind working on my hair. I don't want to do it myself because I just... don't. My ADHD self struggles with basic hair care, I don't want to deal with trying to keep my ends even and the color correct. I could also go to a cheaper salon but have I mentioned how much I hate hair appointments but I would rather pay more money than deal with finding another stylist.

So it's a splurge, but one I plan on.

Oh! The past weekend we did go ahead and purchase our flights for the Big Trip of 2025. I saw they had gone down a bit so bit the bullet, then checked again the next day and the price had gone up again. So I'm pleased with that. It's still not cheap, because traveling with someone who has mobility issues means we prefer to spend money on comfort than suffer to save some money, since it could mean pain and loss of fun times once we get off the plane.

Lesson to be learned from all this: pick your frugal battles and decide what's worth it to you. Sometimes a more expensive option is the best one for your situation.
