I just called around to the local pet stores and found a female chinchilla on sale at one of them for $150.
On one hand, I can afford it right now, and Dexter keeps looking at me like I need to bring his friend back because he's lonely. On the other hand, I can only JUST afford it, and that money would be better spent on bills.
Urgh. It's possible half of this is that calling in sick from both jobs today was a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy and I've felt like crap all day, so I feel like I need something to perk me up. Not to mention that after giving myself a week-long writing break, restricting myself to only story notes, and trying to get back into the swing of things by writing fic, I still managed not to write a damn thing today. Le sigh.
