$270 Jackbit hit still sitting clean—do I touch it or let it breathe till rent's sorted

Okay so I know I said I was gonna leave it alone and I know I posted about tipping that chat guy ten bucks like it was some power move (it wasn't, I was buying permission to feel okay about myself) but here's the thing—I actually DID leave it sitting there? I think? I haven't checked since this morning and now it's wednesday lunch and I'm staring at the ceiling tiles instead of working wondering if I already nibbled at it without remembering

Except then I'm down to $200 and the $70 I lost feels like a hole I need to fill and suddenly it's 1am and I'm chasing ghosts on cleopatra again

But also—also—I tipped that chat guy. I was generous. That has to mean something about who I am when I'm up, doesn't it? Doesn't it??

Ngl tho the flatness is getting this thin anxious coating today. Like I'm waiting for something to
