Updating $ for High-Spend Wednesday

$ MONEY SPENT OUT OF POCKET

This doesn't count $25 donation to WNYC Public Radio pledge drive; $140 to sign Punch up for next session of 7 ice skating lessons; and $150 deposit for a week of summer camp for her at Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary on Cape Cod.

• This happened Tuesday night after I already posted numbers. Two books by beloved Southern writer Julia Reed, of Vogue and New York Times Magazine fame. I bought one of the books used but in very good condition, total for both to be delivered to my door, $29.48.
• Yoga Mechanics, after class I bought a new journal. On the cover: HELLO TO HERE A journal for now, $10.
• Le Salbuen, I went to indulge in my favorite cup of cappuccino in town. I left having spent $24 after breakfast including tip. I see that is way too much.
• Whole Foods, pink tulips and a cannoli to drop off to Rach and her good son; half-gallon whole milk; 2 spring bulb plants [$2 each]; box of Grape-nuts; and organic blueberries, $27.27.
• Punch asked if we could go to her top restaurant, SLA Thai, right near her weekly Wednesday afternoon therapy appointment. This is a big treat. Very good food, and expensive. She loves it all, from appetizer to mango ice cream. I told her we can't go back for a while. She was happy, and we took enough leftovers home for a full meal for one to two people tonight (shrimp fried rice), plus Punch's unfinished mango ice cream with plum seeds and one appetizer order for her to bring for lunch today. With 5 percent discount for paying cash, plus tip, $101. [I told her this made up for the night before, when I served the whole-wheat vegetable ravioli I bought at the shore on Monday. Everyone hated them except me. P did not eat even a bite. And since box said non-dairy, I thought vegan, but they continued an egg, so could not offer to Figgy.]
• Montclair parking meters, about $3.
