We Drive to Maine Tomorrow!

Our nephew, Matt, is getting married to Lauren at 1 pm on Saturday! I'm excited, and it's also a pretty time of year up there. Must sleep so can get up early and finish packing. My Sis packs days ahead; I usually finish day of. Still have room to change that in the future. Hope to. Good night.

TCOY, Day 4 off Sugar Road
  1. Blowout.
  2. I've been missing 7 am Tuesday/Thursday support group and 8 am yoga. This abrupt change to 6 am wake-up for middle school has thrown me for a loop. I've been too tired. So today I asked Fig if she would switch to do Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can then get up and get myself to 7 am meeting. She said sure! It does mean, tho, that I would then be rising early for up to 4 mornings a week [Dan does the 5th school morning].
  3. Nice mushroom barley soup at Marcel, where I went with my laptop. None of those delicious dainty, buttery cookies.
  4. Caught up with Rach.
  5. Also had green salad, chickpeas and carrot-ginger soup.
  6. Walked about 40 minutes, home from town, around town, etc.
  7. Long chat with Sis.
$ MONEY SPENT OUT OF POCKET
  • Uber to salon, plus tip, $8.
  • 212 Salon & Day Spa, shampoo by Ani and blowout by Christina, $35 plus tips, so $46. We are leaving with Punch tomorrow morning and returning Monday, which is, conveniently, a school holiday for Rosh Hashanah. I highly doubt my hairdo will survive today's rain, tonight's and tomorrow night's darn CPAP head straps and tomorrow's 450-mile car drive, but I had to do it. Christina used a flat iron in the hopes that it might hold longer.
  • Kings, Stumptown Coffee! [Freshly roasted in Brooklyn, $3 off, so $11.99. I generally resist these pricey beans at Whole Foods and Montclair Bread Co. The 12-oz. bags are $15 to $16 on stumptowncoffee.com, plus shipping.] Bags of mixed nuts and walnuts for car ride; good rye bread [plan on bringing tuna salad sandwiches]; 2 Super Dark, low-sugar chocolate bars; Thai salad kit from produce aisle; slim box of milk chocolate Schoolboy cookies for Punch [back-seat property, I don't want any]; big bunch bananas; Wicked Joe Coffee; fresh spinach; dozen cage-free eggs; quart half and half, $63.13.
  • Marcel Bakery & Kitchen to meet/talk to my friend Rach until her parking meter ran out, large bowl mushroom barley soup, $1 reward, plus $1 tip, $6.76.
  • Same, iced coffee plus tip, about $4.
TOTAL DAILY SPEND: $127.89.
RUNNING SPEND FOR MONTH AS OF SEPT. 26: $,1942.43.
AVERAGE DAILY SPEND: $74.70.

  1. So what are you wearing? We went to a wedding of offspring of friends, which is a weird thing but cool, and got a text that the kids were renting inflatable jousting (MD state sport, baby), so I changed my outfit. Gold pants, blacktop, pendant. I will NEVER look at that video, bc Peter and I were the only jousters 20 years within our age ! Mortifying but fun, which explains a lot of my life.
    Dress up, take pics, have fun!
