Annual raise and bonus

I was thrilled to learn that I received both a bonus and raise this year. We were all a bit unsure of how that would work out as the company has taken some big hits recently. My raise came in at 4.67% with a bonus of $3,700. This was a nice little increase from last year, my first with the company, when I received a 3% raise and $2,152 bonus. I appreciate the extra money even more as someone who not too long ago was part of the nonprofit world, where bonuses for my role are nonexistent.

My manager had told me that the bonus would land in my account by April 11th, but it turns out she actually meant March 11th, so I was doing a happy little dance of surprise this past Friday. After taxes chomped away their dues I was left with $2,184.39 of the $3,700. Ouch. As planned, I immediately transferred 1k to my savings and 1k to my mom. She is planning on traveling to Korea soon for an extended period of 4-6 months to stay with my grandparents. Mom was laid off from her job managing a dry cleaners just a couple weeks ago, and found another job right away. However, this one is a 45 minute drive from home and in an unsafe neighborhood so it's not a long term solution. She is just holding on to it for the next month or so while she gets extensive dental work done, after which she will go to Korea. Mom is treating this trip as a last opportunity to spend quality time with her parents before they pass, as it is unlikely she would be able to visit Korea again anytime soon. I told her to use the 1k to splurge on my grandparents on my behalf.

This leaves me with $184.39 to spend as I please! Right now my top contenders are:

1. A new microwave. My current one has developed an unpredictable temper after several years of loyal service. IT chooses how long, and if, it will heat my food items. I seem to have given up that right.
2. A new office chair. My current chair was bought used for $5 from a friend, and has gotten really unsteady and leans at odd angles. It has turned into a sort of carnival ride every time I sit on it. I work from home so this would be a good investment.
3. A dresser. The drawers gave out in my old one so I currently store my clothes on top of two folding chairs that are sitting side by side.

Nothing too exciting, but my birthday is in April and I've already budgeted money for treats, so spending my bonus on practical items makes sense to me. I am thankful to have received these financial blessings in a time when many (including mom) are losing jobs, underemployed, or not receiving any sort of extra.
