delayed gratification

Should I practise delayed gratification on purchasing a big-ticket tech item? I don't need it, but it would be quite nice. I can afford it now, but I'm questioning my purchasing habits of late.

What I'd do is either set a couple of goals and not buy it until I'd reached those. Or wait until my birthday (another month) and gift it to myself.

Thoughts?

I can't take B1 to NZ for International Hobbit Day. I mean, I really can't now because of lockdown and the Delta variant loose in Australia. But the problem before that was that the parentals had already booked that space and time for a holiday, and B1 was 'booked' to look after Dara the elderly diabetic cat.

Hopefully there's next year. Hopefully.

I feel like I need some new icons. How does one find new icons these days? I don't know anymore...
