As a side note: I sent my parents a text asking if we could borrow $X to hold us over until next pay day. My mother replied by saying that she'd "accidentally" sent $(X + Y) and to spend the extra as we see fit. We have a tiny bit of breathing room again.

She is amazing, and I am so fortunate to have family who are able to help out in an emergency. It's not lost on me that many don't.
