Aww, love that RJ - and as a mom to that young lady I'll bet she thinks you more than deserve it. Where would most of us be had we not had a mom or a mom type figure to raise us? So that is wonderful and I am sure more deserved than you can imagine. Wow you're coming up to date with stuff whether you planned to or not. A new washer and a multi tab and netflex - just enjoy it all - and believe in yourself, and that everyone deserves nice stuff. We should not have to work for every single thing to deserve something. Sometimes we deserve a lot more than most of us get because I am sure you give so much of yourself that you do not even realize how great you are. But kids know, especially when they get older and face life and they often marvel how most of us did this or that with what we had and how much we gave of ourselves - plus the energy to do it. Yes it is natural doing for our offspring as parents, but when we realize our parents were at one time where we are, and they made this or that look so tireless and easy - well it makes the kids want to show you how glad they are that you were just you and not some horrid monster.
Convince yourself - I deserve this - because I am so sure you do. Besides it is not like it is something personal - it's an appliance for gosh sakes - for you to use still doing things for others. Silly RJ. You are such a dear and a treasure - you just will never know how wonderful you really are.
Enjoy the Doctor Who and the new washer.
My suggestion on the mask and such is query Rflong - if anyone would know it is she. That is way out of my area and I really do not know anything about that unless I accidently run into creaters talking about such things. I do think you could make a nice water world especially if you could work with ER as a main island - but even if you can't - you'll probably enjoy experimenting with the new IP lots and such. I am sure it will be wonderful, and enjoyable to try, seeing you do seem to enjoy building so. Blessings to a very deserving person - plus prayers and hugz. Oh I love parrots - they are noisy but also very delightful - as are doggies and kitties too.
