Rainy Day & No WiFi 

I really want to write, fingers flying over Rose Gold MacBook keyboard. But I can’t.
No WiFi at family house and now, for some reason, I can’t get on the internet at the Hot Chocolate Sparrow.
It gets tiring to squint at this tiny iPhone screen. I much prefer my laptop.
But it is what it is.
Really want to update Cape Cod spending.
Days kind of jumbled but want to jot and get out of this crowded, caffeine-crazed spot at the moment.
Will go to library to write tomorrow if need be. Hope that will work.

CAPE COD, GOING IN DEEP, MONEY SPENT OUT OF POCKET 💰 
  • Eastham info booth, pink sweatshirt, $30.
  • Audubon annual family membership, $65.
  • Sparrow right now w Punch, pressed sandwiches and coffee drinks for two, $21.86.
  • Jar tip, $1.

  • Hole in One Donuts, stopped in for Punch when we drove Dan to Hyannis bus station at 7 a.m., plus $1 tip, $11.42.

Don't  want to keep Punch here so long on her iPad, junk food for the brain. So far, all August expenses--if I added them up right in my rush--come to:
$676.94 as of August 6
AVERAGE DAILY SPEND: $112.82. That's trending high.
And it's 5:27 p.m. and we are still dashing into Stop & Shop for dinner ingreds and laundry detergent.

Hot big-ticket spends for August include: Audubon shop, rug, gifts, beauty products, etc., $88; Vineyard Vines skort, I thought free shipping but no, $79; Eastham pink sweatshirt, $30; Cape Stop & Shop, $52; Cape Cod gasoline, $46; Sunbird, very good breakfast sandwich and very good coffee beans, $27. 

Have a nice evening. My WIFI magically came on at about 5 p.m. :) So funny, such a small, small world. A fellow from Montclair--was and likely still is? an editor at The New York Times--just walked in here for a coffee on the Cape.
