I did two big things today. First and foremost I started my free trial of YNAB a.k.a. You Need A Budget. I was trying to use Mint but the way it was going to authenticate my bank account was too much of a hassle. In short it'd deposit a few cents then ask me to check the account and tell the program how much was deposited into my checking account. YNAB avoided that altogether. I have a bit of a budget right now and I'm going to see how much I spend on eating out.

Second big thing was messaging my friend Sarah and asking if I could come to Thanksgiving dinner. Since I left Toms River Sarah's welcomed me to Thanksgiving dinner at her parents's place because I don't have anyone else to celebrate with during the holiday. Rather than be invited last minute like last year, Sarah's a busy woman, I reached out and asked if I could attend and her response as "Absolutely."
