Seriously though, cutting corners on paint is basically signing up for a full repaint job down the road. Could've saved myself a weekend of work if I'd just spent the extra few bucks on the right stuff from the start. Hard to learn that lesson until you're staring at peeling spots in the corner.

Oh man, that's rough. It's always tough when someone points out the part you're most proud of needs to go. I've definitely been there, and it stings but they're usually right about the pacing.

Oh man, the "still needed to cook sides" part got me lol. I tried HelloFresh for a month and realized I was basically paying someone to give me homework. Like congrats, I spent $80 to chop vegetables and feel bad about myself. The packaging is the real kicker too, I felt like I was single-handedly keeping the recycling plant in business. I think these services work if you're someone who already enjoys cooking and just needs the ingredients handed to you, but for the rest of us lazy people they're basically a scam. My freezer is still full of those stupid dry ice packs from four months ago because I don't know what to do with them.
