What have you done for yourself lately?
May 26, 2024 at 6:31 pm
After my favorite cologne stopped being available, I stopped wearing cologne and perfume. Now and then I would use a lightly-scented body spray.
When buying some makeup last week prior to my trip I was given a perfume sample. I wore it through my trip and realized how much I like it. I bought a bottle. I am almost certain it is the most expensive perfume/cologne purchase I have ever made.
It was a splurge...that's for sure...but it was time to spoil myself a bit.

Bought something I really don’t need but plan to use a lot: an electric mandoline.

Had a cyst removed from one of my fingers last Tuesday. I haven't done any wood carving for many months because it gave me pain when holding a mallet or chisel/gouge. I complained about it in January. The system flogged me around, up to getting an MRI! What a joke. I have some incredibly sharp carving tools; some even have the same shape as a scalpel. If it was on my left hand, I'd've removed it myself. But I'm clumsy enough with my left hand that even bashing the bishop hurts too much.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

MLB.tv was half-price for Mother's Day, and I discovered that I can still use my VPN, so I bought myself an annual subscription.

Booked myself in for scuba diving Saturday, (been a while, but I'm sure my wetsuit still fits), jumping from a plane on Sunday, and spa treatment on Monday.
Actually got the order right this time.
