Yeah I read something once that said the room temp thing matters more for the butter than the eggs. If your butter is properly softened, cold eggs might make it clump a little but you can just mix a bit longer. My cakes always turn out fine with fridge eggs too, as long as I'm not in a huge rush.

Olivia's right about that "slow drain" feeling. I had a music streaming service on auto-pay for almost a year after I stopped using it. Finding and cutting those forgotten subscriptions really does add up.

Ugh that sounds so stressful. I totally get the fear of spending all that money for nothing, it's the worst feeling.
