Maybe it was a purchase, maybe an experience? What did you treat yourself to?

A motorcycle, always wanted one and figured now is a good time.
Hell yeah! And who downvoted his/her treat to themselves? A real turd in the punchbowl eh.
Lunch.
As in: You cooked lunch or got take out? For me either could apply.
I bought a slice of buffalo chicken pizza.
I’ve been getting Dental work done recently, and it’s across the street from a harbor freight, so after each appointment I’ve been going there and buying a tool or two. Just bought a flex head ratchet yesterday.
It’s better than buying fast food i tell myself, which I’ve stopped doing for the most part. (If I’m out and about with people, or there’s something limited time that I want to try sure, but otherwise i haven’t bought any in a couple months)
People often shit on HF but their hand tools are perfectly acceptable for the average home mechanic, and hell honestly fine for a lot of professionals with their new Icon linea. Even their power tools have gotten pretty good lately. They’ll last you many years, tools are always a good investment.
I went for a run yesterday because I was feeling miserable. It really helped. Today I made 2 big pizzas from scratch.
Zero sum game
Only for the physical health, mental health got 200% improve.
A pair of boots. Never owned one before. I can finally splash on puddles like in the movies
Hey are you more of a Peppa pig or George?
I’m waiting for it to rain to find out!
A 36€ m710q Thinkcentre tiny.
You know, as a backup for my m710q Thinkcentre tiny.
Ah, the ol’ “buy two of them” strat for backup and repair planning.
Why do I search for that and only find it between $200 and $1000? Granted it’s AUD but still, where do you find this for less than a rpi?
On ebay.fr, no power block but otherwise complete. Mostly they go for more like 60-70€ shipping included, but sometimes you get lucky!
I did well on a couple interviews today so I walked down to the local cafe and had a chai latte and a maple bar.
Tomorrow, if I do well on that interview, I’ll go walk downtown and get lunch at the local thai restaurant I like!
Exciting! I’m confident you’ll do well, you got this!
Thank you very much! One of them is definitely shaping up to be quite promising. :)
Congrats on the interviews! Food and beverages are one of my favorite ‘treat yourself’ categories.
Thank you! And definitely the same for me. Just like my cat, I am very food driven.
You got this! Good luck!
It’s Friday afternoon. Good time for beer and papadums.
Okay, so, Monday I went to 2 thrift shops and 2 pawn shops because we weren’t able to that weekend. I ended up spending around $50USD on 5 games.
First lawn shop I got Jak 1-3 on PS2 alongside final fantasy X on PS2 for a little over $20 at one pawn. I’ve 100%ed the first Jak years ago and was part way through Jak 2 when I lost my console and games. Same way I lost FFX with my partway completed save.
Then at the other pawn shop I got PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royal and Crash Bandicoot Twinsanity for around $27, I think. Would need to check receipt, if I still have it.
All games I used to have and enjoy. All I gotta do is see if there is a way to unlock PS3 DLC for free without system mods because I don’t think my brother would be too keen on his systems being modded.
A really nice new hoover. I’m allergic to dust and every time I hoovered I’d keep sneezing for like half an hour after turning it off and emptying the bag. The new one I just pour water in a little tank and empty it out without creating a dustcloud.
I got my nails done. I’ve only had fake nails once, but I went to a wedding and I wanted to look nice. I got gel nails in dark blue with a cat eye finish. The ladies at the salon were super helpful and picked out a good color that matched my dress. It was awesome, but I don’t regularly pay $85+ for something that only lasts 2 weeks. I’ll get them removed in a week and get a basic manicure to help my nails recover.
They do look pretty fabulous though 💅
A hedge maze which was way more fun than I thought it would be be.
Sonic popsicle. It wasn’t great lol
Bought the Lego Game Boy two weeks ago. Haven’t played with Legos in a long long time, since I was a kid. But this was a really fun set to put together.
Bought a game called Slay. It’s one of the most elegant turn-based games I’ve ever seen. Xisuma made a video series about it. Highly recommend watching the first video if that sort of thing interests you.
