This morning I took the grandsons to IHOP for breakfast. Since I had a coupon for 1 free Rooty-Tooty stack of pancakes, my total bill was only $14. I gave the waitress $4, which was 20% of what the total would have been.
Afterwards, we went to Walmart so I could get another car seat, and at least be legal on the way home. (Actually I think they're old enough to legal without a car seat -- they're just not big enough!) I had my $25 gift card, so the seat was essentially free. I spent $6 on cereal I will keep at my house for the boys, and gave $5 toward a fundraiser for a family whose child was an inadvertent victim of gun violence.
After the boys were picked up by DIL, I started a load of laundry ($1.50).
My variables spending is at 19%, with 12% of the month gone. Need to slow down a bit.
I took a look at the car today and I see that painting the front is even more necessary than I thought. It will start to rust if I don't do something.
Property manager replied that I am responsible for window damage (no surprise!) He gave me the name of their vendor, so I will call later today.
Check engine light is still off, so I think I will defer repair until it comes on again.
Going into the city tomorrow for Treasurer's meeting, and to take my forms to museum supervisor. May have a parking fee to pay.
I may go to visit BFF on Thursday, but it depends on how her doctor's visit goes today. She may be a candidate for a hip replacement.
But right now I think I'll take a nap!

Yes Sanfu, 20% is now considered standard for tipping. Or so we are told.

Just the other day my SO was mentioning that we hadn't been to IHOP in a long time - not since September! It's been Chinese buffet type places most every month since then ... (tolerable, but not my first choice - would much prefer IHOP!)
