I just keep spending money.

In October I bought plane tickets to Berlin for a 10-day scouting mission in May - the price was great, so I jumped on it, and my credit card bill was huge. I also got new rain boots because my old ones cracked and let the rain in, so they were necessary (nice Eddie Bauer ones).

Last month I only bought the essentials (groceries, bills, meds), and my bill was normal.

In the last 2 days, I've bought a suitcase, a new jacket, and some makeup. The suitcase is necessary for moving, and a jacket is always useful. I have a lot of makeup, but a lot of it I don't actually like, so I'm slowly replacing it.

I need to register for 4th St and stalk air fare to Minneapolis.

I haven't bought any Christmas presents, but I'm also not sure I will. I don't know what people need or want. Target gift cards for everyone, haha.

I'm also eyeing a pretty purple fountain pen ink (Delicious Sleep).

And, well, come March or so I'm going to buy my tickets to Berlin for September. And potentially my sister's, if I can persuade her to come to help/bring more luggage and have sister time or whatever.

The one thing keeping this from being awful is that I'm eventually going to sell like 90% of my furniture and small kitchen appliances and get *some* money for that (and whatever doesn't sell goes into the donation box). And sell my car to someone.
