$ MONEY SPENT OUT OF POCKET

• Cafe Giotto, right next to Gumdrop Hair Salon. Quiche, salad, latte in to-go cup, $14.39 + $3 tip [great service], $17.39.
• Gumdrop, blowout, $40, plus tips for Rachel and Ambros, who shampooed me, $53. I leave tomorrow morning to spend several days with Sis, in NYU hospital and at her home. I wanted my hair to be polished and up to the task, up to being strong and being there--holding up.
• Java Love [right across from cafe and Gumdrop], to work on laptop for several hours. Bought natural bamboo Ecoffee Cup here. Have been meaning to--I'm determined to have less of a footprint on earth. Every time you bring the cup here, you’re charged for a small beverage no matter what size you get. Cup, $13.50, decaf coffee, $2, tax and tip, $17.
• Java Love, debit card frozen because of questionable iTunes purchases last night. Used up all my cash, only had enough for almond croissant + jar tip, $4. It was either that or giant chocolate-chip cookie.
• Deli, 2.5 oz bag Cape Cod Potato Chips, jalapeño flavor, $1.69.
• Uber home from therapy, counting $2 tip, $10.94.

TOTAL DAILY SPEND: $104.02

MONTHLY SPEND AS OF MAY 7: $751.19.

AVERAGE DAILY SPEND SO FAR: $107.31.

Money thoughts: I’m anxious about Sis’s surgery. I’ve been reaching for junk-food pacifiers, like those Cape Cod 🌊 Potato Chips 🥔. I want to stop that. Unhealthy. Sometimes I want the salty crunch.
