7:30 p.m. — Time for a quiet evening! J. picks up Thai takeout for dinner, his treat. He also gets groceries for the week at the local co-op where we are members. He gets bagged salads, curly kale, carrots, onions, garlic, apples, mushrooms, lemon juice, bread, bagels, a take ‘n bake dinner from their deli, canned goods, various cheeses, yogurts, ice cream, chocolate, a mini carrot cake, plus wine and whiskey ($177 and change). J. and I split household expenses, including groceries, according to our relative incomes, so he pays 60% and I pay 40%. $70.60
9:30 p.m. — After pad see ew and pad khee mao, we have a thrilling evening: watching the dog enjoy a stuffed kong while we sip whiskey drinks and laze on the couch. I make myself a surprisingly decent hot toddy (lots of lemon juice), and J. has his on the rocks. We catch up about the day while snuggling, then crate R. and head to bed, with a little ~fun~ time before lights out.
