Today, I spent $4 on entertainment for going out after work with colleagues. We do this rarely; I didn't want to miss it. I got one soda for $2 plus tax, which I would never do normally. But this Mexican restaurant had no Limonada or Jamaica, so I got a bottled Jarrito. And I left a large tip, almost 90%, because our waitress hustled to do separate checks for a table of 20 people, and I ate plenty of the complimentary chips and salsa, and there is no way I'd leave a 15% forty cent tip in that situation.

And, $10 to report in the charity category, local public radio station needs an emergency backup generator (and with the storms lately, they really do).

A good week, many tempations avoided without any sense of deprivation.
