No connection with the date

Well that was a non-week. Work & sleep with just enough time to get depressed by the news and the weather. Certainly no time or energy for reading or any social outings. The highlight was when I pulled a sodden* envelope from my mailbox. It contained a dividend cheque from some shares I'd forgotten I had - I didn't actually think I owned shares in anything as I sold what few others I had a year ago. It was a cheque for nine dollars and eleven cents. I have to declare it on my taxes and as the tax people I use charge by the item, I actually think I lose money on the deal.

When I get unexpected chunks of cash I tend to use them for treats. Its not like you can get much for nine dollars and eleven cents though. I was thinking coffee and some rich cake. Then I had a better idea and added it to my bushfire relief donation. But it did get me thinking about small personal indulgences. What is the best way to elevate your mood with a small treat? I'm open to new ideas.
