Oh gee, what a sensitive laptop I have. Sold some but not all of my brother's books for $33 in store credit. We are a family of readers so this should be useful.
Serious question: what does "being good to oneself" mean? Yoga stretches, vegetable juices, massages, aromatherapy baths? What activities corral the mind when the mind is everywhere yet nowhere at the same time?
update: Just saw that the pantry is down to 2 cans each of tomatoes, tomato paste and tomato sauce. :-P And this weekend we did not do much grocery shopping as I did not plan for meals or did not find sufficiently low prices for staples or did not feel like driving to the market for farm produce after a "zippy" (20% shorter time, excluding border stops) trip to White Rock and back for gift exchanges. So I must figure out a cheap, healthy meal plan for the next two weeks.
Sold some books

For me:
1) Taking a long bath with bubbles during high homework chaos time
2) Taking four turns of Scrabble on FB when I am feeling stressed out with volunteer work
3) Mowing the lawn in the summer
4) Walking the dog around the subdivision
5) Going to the Y for a run
6) Being crafty and not worrying about the perceived quality of end product
7) Working a jigsaw puzzle
8) For me: indulging in something I don't usually (like a trip to Starbucks)
9) Listening to fun music loud and having a solo or group dance party
10) Doing away with the idea of *should*
11) Learning to say NO to things I don't want to do
12) Being a friend to my kids at times
13) Reading the Bible, or learning about something Scripturally based
14) Revisiting the Classics
15) Being defiant and going into the office with jet black hair, concert T-shirt, and all holes filled. This was liberating to me, especially the second time to show I wasn't going to change based on some comments
16) Being true to the shared vision for my family and being immune to stupid comments about adoption
