Just paid an $1800 credit card bill for a five-week period.  I thought this was terrible, but I guess I'm only spending $360/week on food, transportation, books, etc.  Rent checks haven't been cashed yet, and I still owe Amadeus.

Any way you slice it, my bank account is going to take a huge hit this month.  The moral of the story is simply that I can't continue this lush life of eating and drinking out all the time.  (Can't, and don't want to.)

I am trying to eat more at home, but the kitchen situation is just demoralizing:  roaches everywhere, bugs in the fridge, etc.  I feel trapped, which isn't good!

But still, I think that once Mike moves out, we can clean and keep a level of cleanliness that I can live with.
