for the last few years Iβve booked off work for my birthday and treated myself to a me day. this consists of scheduling a massage or facial (truly the best), splurging on a nice lunch and dessert, and sometimes a movie!
For my birthday this year, I booked myself a room at a nice hotel, went to dinner and drinks with friends, then took myself to a spa the next day for a massage. Ended it feeling loved, relaxed, and refreshed!
usually I take the day off work
get an expensive haircut
play animal crossing
buy champagne and fruit
have a drink somewhere fancy with friends
thai food takeout and existential crisis
happy bday!
Put on the robe, turn on adult swim or whatever, crank the ac, eat a late night snack in one bed and sleep in the other. The freedom of impersonal liminal space.
