I treated myself this evening. Do you ever treat yourself?

After a busy day that included root canal, laundry, picking up meds, and some other random errands, I decided to treat myself to something special this evening. That something special was a grilled chicken burrito with grilled peppers on the side.
I also spoke to some friends and relations on the phone. But I didn't play any guitar or piano. I did do a bit of editing on my book.
Do you treat yourself to something special when you get a lot done in a given day?

Ok, don't laugh.
Today I managed to get away by myself for almost...3 hours! First time in I don't know how long...I had someone stay with my son and I went to a fairly far away CVS that was the only pharmacy around that had his medication he needed. So it was a 54 mile round trip to pick it up--and I have a CVS about 3 blocks from me. Long story, but some meds here are very hard to get at this time. Anyway...did that, and I had a Starbuck's card that still had some $ on it, and I drove by one so I stopped. I used the card to get a black coffee and a bag of coffee on sale, yum. Now I can have a treat of some pots of coffee. Card is all used up, but I am happy! So that was my treat to myself, and it felt really good to get away for just a bit. It's been...kind of hard lately. 'Nuff said.

Just kidding. That is a mini-version of how I feel when I am on the road on the way to Montana. I am utterly free of all responsibilities. But I have goals to motivate me. I will get gas as needed. I will find an Arby's for some greenish beef and some Horsey Sauce. I can practice my singing. At the top of my lungs, if I so choose. I can be whoever I want to be, and I just relax and take in the scenery as I drive.

I've heard that treating yourself can make you go blind.

@TheHorse That's why you should always read all the warning labels before you do anything.

@xander6464 Dang it. I just checked. I don't see any labels. Sneaky b*stards. See my latest post.

How was your root canal? I'd like to treat myself to a pizza or some orange chicken. It's been almost 2 months since I had any.

Yesterday was my best friend's birthday. I decided to try out a trail mix called birthday cake. I wish I hadn't. I almost couldn't stop eating it. I also gave the cats treats yesterday to celebrate.

You were busy and deserved a treat.
Occasionally, I do.
I'm glad you worked on your book. I love the picture.

I sometimes treat myself, but nothing extravagant. Today I treated I spent $5 and treated myself bought myself 5 bookmarks from the library to add to my new growing collection of bookmarks. I like to use bookmarks that match the library book I am reading somehow. I barely spent money on my groceries for the week so I treated myself to bookmarks
I am having my wisdom teeth plus two other teeth extracted during the last week of June and now that I am thinking of it have to really treat myself after I recover! Now I just have to think about what to treat myself to.
