By MuffyStJohn on The Mountains We Climb
I broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years. We live in different cities, and I didn't want to be an ass and do it over the phone, so I bought a train ticket to go out, have the painful conversation, and then paid too much for a train ticket back.(FYI, the total cost of a partially planned, semi-amicable breakup between DC and Baltimore is $40, including the cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee you will cry into while you wait for your train). So now I'm climbing Distracting Nip/Tuck Marathon Mountain as well as Don't Spend All Your Money On Expensive Desserts/Etsy Housewares/New Tattoos That Won't Really Make You Feel Better Mountain.

I'd walk into the Philadelphia Museum of Art and demand that they sell me Nude Descending a Staircase #2. DEMAND. That said, I've settled for the next best thing to buying art - getting it tattooed on me. 2 Warhols, 2 Duchamps, and a Dali are a nice little collection.

Imma let you finish, but The Kiss is the most dorm-roomed poster of all time.

She'd have to make over $100,000 a year AND still live at home? For $25,000 of debt? That can't be right.

This reminds me of a project I proposed doing when I was in college. A diet book, based 100% on the US Government's recommendations for food intake, called "You Don't Have To Eat The Whole Thing". I really wish I had written that book.

Long Island... so, obviously pizza and bagels. Done and done.

Um, let's not forget their terrifying ability to predict when you're pregnant.

I know people have mixed feelings about pet health insurance and I get the absolute absurdity of it, but I highly advocate for it in case of a huge vet bill. I currently use PetPlan and even though I haven't had to use it yet, it's a good safety net. It's pretty cheap, although I have 4 cats so it's not so cheap for me...This totally sounds like an ad but I promise I'm just a crazy cat lady with no affiliation to anyone!

@DON SOLIDARITY IN HEARTBREAK. I'm fortunate(ish?) in that I knew I was going to do this so I could prepare. I moved all the pictures of him/us to a separate, hidden folder on my computer; got all of his stuff out of my apartment; wiped away as many visible memories of life with him as I could. This guy was actually the one who helped me quit smoking, so having a cigarette would have been a really nice FUCK THIS RELATIONSHIP gesture, except I still can't really afford to spend $10 just to make myself cough and vomit. Thankfully I don't drink so that whole cost was avoided, but I did indulge in a $50 trip to CVS for nail polish and expensive hair care products. We will get through this. Our bank accounts are another issue entirely.
