It really was. I had to pay my usual grass guy the price of a full cut to finish it, too. Apparently making the drive to my place for less isn't worth it for him, which I totally understand. I could not afford a full cut on my own, so I had to borrow money from my mom. My usual grass guy is really great and he uses my yard to teach his kids yard work, so my mom didn't mind helping me out.

Still super bummed about the wildlife needing food though. It's super illegal to actively feed the wildlife where I live, so I can't really provide for them.
