Name a good/bad thing that happened today?

Good: Pot is now legal CA, although I hardly ever partake anymore. And we’re the 10% part of the country that isn’t freezing.

Bad: My federal income taxes just went up biggly! :frowning:

Bad: Cold, Damn Cold! (can’t go anywhere)

Good: New Dyson heater works good, got some new xbox games and no work tomorrow, and plenty of chinese food in the fridge.

This year is starting out wee bit better.

I woke up; just not sure which column to put that in.

Good: I had off so I made an enormous batch of sauce with meatballs and sausage.

Bad: Ate alone.

Bad: woke up with a headache even though I only had two drinks last night

Good: I did practically nothing all day for the first time in ages…wore leggings/t-shirt all day…watched TV…hung out with the dogs, etc

Good: my gf only asks me to do the morning barn chores one day a week.

Bad: today was the one day.

Good: I got a free upgrade to a HD receiver from Dish, with over 300 hours of DVR capacity!

Bad:* “A whole planet of worlds, and not one of them—not one—has a soul. They wander through their lives separate and alone, unable even to communicate except through grunts and tokens: as if the essence of a sunset or a supernova could ever be contained in some string of phonemes, a few linear scratches of black on white. They’ve never known communion, can aspire to nothing but dissolution. The paradox of their biology is astonishing, yes; but the scale of their loneliness, the futility of these lives, overwhelms me.”
― Peter Watts*

Good: I woke up today

Bad: I woke up today.

Bad: My oncologist reported that my cancer had metastasized to my bones.

Good: According to his prognosis, I should be able to outlast Trump as President if he’s not reelected.

**Good **- my 401(k) jumped a bit more than I thought it would. And my cold/flu is improving.

**Bad **- credit-card debt has swelled as well.

part for boiler is coming tomorrow, sooner than promised-too late

boiler in operable-cold night overnight

Good: snow day

Bad: potential blizzard

Good: Multiple coworkers offered to bring me coffee/tea when they saw how sleepy I was.

Bad: I have a Dr. appointment today that’s gonna hurt.

Bad: last night my son puked in the bathroom sink. It wouldn’t go down as it was too chunky, so I had to bail it out by hand (and bare handed, I have no gloves) with a large cup and a large pot, then pour it into the toilet. Urk!

Bad: I read this post

Good: Was able to not throw up after reading this post
(hope your son is okay though)

This past Tuesday:

Good: Cashed a check from a Craigslist buyer; nice guy, good experience.

Bad: Drove the 25 miles to my allergist’s for shots, only to discover there was a fire in the building, they were closed and wouldn’t be re-opening any time soon–their other office is 20 miles further on.

Sidebar: sorry to hear this. {{{hugs}}}

Good: We may have found a new home for our dog.

Bad: We may have found a new home for our dog.
mmm

Why is it that a single day like this is super awesome, but when it becomes habit I get very depressed?

Good: A sweet little orange cat who had been making herself at home in my place up to a week ago, then vanished, showed up again today, none the worse for wear.

Bad: She isn’t a stray as she now has a collar and name tag. She came in, ate kibble, tried to trip me while polishing my shins, then left and hasn’t been back. Greedy, ungrateful little bastard!
