Birthday Present

[stormdog]

My parents sent me an Amazon gift card for my birthday. I spent a little of it on a case for my new phone (a pretty one with cherry blossoms!), but I have some left. I want to buy something enjoyable for myself but I can't decide what. Normally it would be a board game, but I haven't even opened the five boxes of board games I brought with me when I moved, so that would be kind of depressing. I'm thinking about a Spacerail marble roller coaster. I had one of those when I was younger and have wanted one for years. I even have a bunch of parts still in a box in Wisconsin. (I haven't built anything with them because some plastic parts have become too brittle with age to use.) But I have no where to put one here in my apartment. And I'm not sure if the distraction factor would outweigh the relaxation factor of watching it run.

I just don't know what I want for my birthday I guess. I want something that will make me feel happy; a real present to myself that I wouldn't buy with my own money. But I don't know what that is. Regardless, this is an issue the existence of which makes me feel loved, and I am grateful for that.
