And as usual, up early on my day off. I woke up at 5:30, but refused to get up then, but by 7, I was getting antsy, so it was time to get up. When the alarm goes off tomorrow, I definitely won't want to get up, but that's the way adulting goes, I guess.

Yoda has his grooming appointment at 11, which he desperately needs. With the holidays, the groomer was way booked, so this is probably the longest he's been between trims, and holy fuck, it shows. He is a dandelion puff of a dog right now. It's going to be like the first time we took him, where they brought him out and we were like "What a cute dog, wonder who he belongs to?" I'm hoping they get him done a little early, so we will have a little time between picking him up and playing Monster of the Week, but we'll see. He should be done around 2, hopefully, which would give us a nice stretch of time.

I had to scramble a bit to be able to afford said grooming. I need to sit down with my sister and talk finances, because I can't keep paying for everything. As it stands now, I pay for the streaming services (Youtube TV, Netflix, Disney, Hulu, HBO Max) the internet and cell service (including the payments on my sister and BIL's phones), the food, and all the vet services for the animals. It's too much, and I constantly feel like I'm drowning in debt. I make more than she does, but it gets eaten up as soon as it comes in. I never am able to get ahead on anything, and it's wearing on me. I just need a little help. I thought it would be better when I wasn't paying Comcast, but it doesn't seem to have helped any. I don't like feeling like we're perched on the edge of something going horribly wrong without any sort of safety net. I make enough that we shouldn't be having this problem.

I'm planning to use the tax return to pay off some bills, and maybe get a little bit in the savings account so I won't feel like I'm stuck on the edge of a panic attack constantly. Now if the federal government would just get to it, I'd appreciate it a lot.

But this weekend is Monster of the Week, and that is a good thing. I've gone through my notes, and am as prepped as I ever am for the game. I've found it doesn't pay to make it too intricate, because the players will go their own way, and it won't be a way I expect, so it's better to be flexible and see where it goes.

Okay, I am going to have some more coffee, and consider cleaning my car off. We didn't get much snow, just maybe an inch. Of course, downside, I still don't have boots, because OneStop Plus is taking their sweet time shipping them. I'm beginning to think there might be a problem. If they don't move by the end of Monday, I'll be calling on Tuesday, I think.

Have a good Saturday, y'all. Stay warm!

were you ever able to get the heat fixed? I would hope that would be a priority for everyone in the household. I agree with your other poster, your sister needs to take responsibility for her own finances. Even when I was living paycheck to paycheck with ever increasing debt, I had to be responsible for my own bills and splitting the household ones. I totally get the anxiety over having to discuss it though, I always hate that kind of conversation.
