My son is going to my mom’s for a sleepover Saturday so RS and I will have the night to ourselves. I am looking to make a reservation at an outdoor dining restaurant (my state still doesn’t allow indoor dining). I’ve looked up new places but they are too expensive. Rent is coming up fast! There are three places available that we have been to before and have enjoyed so I will ask RS which he prefers. They all have cheaper options on their menus. I just never feel justified spending $25+ on a single meal, no matter how much money we have. I mean, I have a decent amount in my savings simply because of the inheritance and I could definitely afford a $75 meal, but still. It does make it easier that we don’t drink though. That’s where they get you! $8-10 for cocktails/wine/beer. That definitely adds up!

I have figured out childcare for the time being. My mother in law, my mom, and RS’s cousin are all going to take a day or two. We will re-evaluate when and if the district decides to go ahead with hybrid learning.

So I’m on track to start my job on sept 1. Good.
