So since my birthday comes and then it’s all the holidays, I’ve really been over-spending and over-treating myself. I just pulled some tips that seemed the most applicable and helpful for me.

I’ve tried two out of three and they both helped. I made my no spending day Monday, and I just had my first one. It was extremely hard. I had so much I thought I needed b/c I’ve been away. I really panicked. I even tried to convince myself to change the day, but the logic I used convinced me otherwise. Monday comes with so much anxiety that I probably end up overspending the most. It really forces me to think through my purchases.

I might add in another no spending day, probably Thursday.

I also like the 48hr rule a lot. Or even just getting into the habit of asking myself why I need this item and making sure the answers are legitimate - Maybe include the 48hr rule by sleeping on it still

I don’t think I’ll use the last one.

in the game, you’re combining fossils from completely different extinct pokemon, resulting in these monstrosities that have dex entries like this:

“Its mighty legs are capable of running at speeds exceeding 40 mph, but this Pokémon can’t breathe unless it’s underwater.“

“The shaking of its freezing upper half is what generates its electricity. It has a hard time walking around.“

“Though it’s able to capture prey by freezing its surroundings, it has trouble eating the prey afterward because its mouth is on top of its head.“

some of the 8 dex entries even speculate why these pokemon may have gone extinct, which is funny because they never existed in the first place. they’re chimeras that are exclusive to the pokemon universe’s modern times.

the professor lady who puts the fossils together in the pokemon games is even named Cara Liss (careless)
