I Won't Take Manhattan

$17.00 - Roundtrip rail fare
$20.00 - "Suggested donation" to the Metropolitan Museum
$12.00 - Metro card
$15.00 - Minimum for lunch. More like $20.00

And I have burned through the float in this month's and next month's budget.

This does not include the wild chocolate bacchanalia I was planning on having at La Maison du Chocolat.

Nor does it include the uninhibited rolling about on the stacks and stacks of beautiful books at the Museum Shop. Wanting to fling myself on them and absorb the contents through my skin.

No. Instead, I'll stay at home and content myself with

$0.00 To begin the cat abatement program since odds are ~ 65% Anonymous Boyfriend will be up next weekend.
$0.00 To cook a couple of tasty meals for myself for the coming week with what I already have in the house.
$0.00 To ready myself for a truly harrowing week that includes a three hour long conference call with Yentl.
$0.00 To spend some time with Mo Daddy who is not looking well at all lately and will have to go to the vet soon ($$$). And I still owe for Gussy's teeth.

Well, so it goes. I miss the city, but it'll just have to live without me for another couple of months.
