Happy Halloweek!!! There are way too many events going on right now, and trying to narrow down what I actually want to do versus what I can realistically get myself to is HARD. Friday and Saturday are already booked, and now I’m contemplating Monday through Thursday because how am I supposed to pass all of this up?

Too many options, way too little time. I need the city to chill for like five minutes just so I can make a decision. 😭

Time to go through even more events I’d like to somehow squeeze into my week…

When Your Pet Needs to Borrow 10 Grand

Table legs get scratched up like they owe the cat money. Shoes are dragged under the couch like the mob disposing of a “package.” These are routine costs of pet ownership; a $10,000 surprise emergency surgery is not. Unfortunately, things DO happen, and you most assuredly DO want to be prepared for them. Pet insurance can help you offset some of these costs by providing up to 90% reimbursement, with plans starting at $10/month. Click below to find the right plan before your animal invents a new way to bankrupt you.
