1 p.m. — Q. grills hot dogs which I decide to make into "hot dacos" (hot dog in a tortilla with cheese and guacamole)??? Send groceries plz. After lunch outside, I curl my hair and put on makeup for my rescheduled work Zoom meeting.

5 p.m. — While I take my work meeting, Q. takes our rental car to be washed since we have to swap it out tomorrow ($14.90). With our new rental, she decides to get full-time auto insurance for non-owners. We don't own a car in the city, but often rent cars in the summer to go on weekend trips outside the city. These days we are keeping a rental car while we're out of the city, so she gets us coverage ($132.70 for the month). It's cheaper than paying through the car rental company. $147.60

6:30 p.m. — Walk the dogs, then make dinner. Since we're down to the dregs of our groceries, we make a pasta creation with vodka sauce and frozen peas. We split a bottle of red and start Normal People, but I can't get into it. (Spoiler alert: we finished Normal People in three days and I shed multiple tears). One more week of quarantine down.

Daily Total: $147.60
