awk-adding a column to a file

Hello Friends,

i used awk to sum up total size of files under a directory (with the help of examples, threads here).

Code:

ls -l | awk '/^-/ {total += $5} END {printf "%15.0f\n",total}' >> total.txt

After each execution of the script total result is appended into a text file:

Code:

7010
7794
8890

i would like to add the execution date of the script into first column and then the results to the second column, but i couldnt do it after some tries. Do you know how to modify the script to add the date (date format is not important)?

expected:

Code:

Aug 27 7010
Sep 27 7794
Oct 27 8890

thanks by advance
