    If lucky enough to win, I would focus on my only child, my Son, who came to rescue me after many years of domestic abuse that had finally escalated to physical violence. We BOTH would benefit from massages then spending time together doing anything or nothing. There is no $$value on this!

      The first thing to come to mind is how much I've wanted for years to spend a weekend exploring The Historic Columbia River Gorge Highway in north Oregon that runs from Troutdale to Cascade Locks. Lots of waterfalls, parks, historical sites, greenery, hiking trails, viewpoints, etc. along the length of it. Take along some sandwiches, camping gear, fishing tackle, camera, and a friend or two. Explore, relax, enjoy... Check out some antique shops at either end of the area. Visit some natural hot springs nearby to soak & bathe in the deliciously warm water that never runs out... unlike most hot water heaters. 🙂 When I return to "civilization," visit a yummy little burger & ice cream shack in Cascade Locks. ❤️

              My husband passed onThanksgiving & my dog on Valentine's Day so it has been a pretty depressing few months let alone this COVID 19 lockdown & so much I have to do with little time for myself.  I would get a massage.

                  I would use the money to go visit my daughters, so I could give them hugs in person instead of virtual! We all have had our Covid vaccination and I need a hug!

                  The last 5 years has been filled with crisis for my family. However, this is my most current story that I could use $200 to relax for the day. November 27, I had hand surgery. December 4 my husband fell in the bathroom and took his first ambulance ride at 87 years young. He spend the day in ED dept. and due to Covid-19 rules, I was unable to be with him. December 22nd, my husband, Mike, and I both tested positive for Covid-19. On December 24th I dropped him at the ED department at the hospital. Due again to Covid-19 restrictions I was unable to be with his. On December 29, 2020, I was called and told he was dying. I ask to come be with him, but was told no. My daughter and niece were able to be outside his room. My niece's phone played "Good Morning Beautiful" while the nurse FaceTimed Mike and I. I was able to speak to him as he transitioned. Since December 29, I have been getting everything in order.

                  I could use a day of pampering to relax.

                  I would donate a portion to my church, take my dog to the vet for a full examination, if anything left, I would buy a rib-eye steak.
