Bad: ive been here for a month and a half and i still dont know everyones names Good: i was able to figure out who to talk to about a thing not being updated. I just had to look at the phone list to remember her last name, go into the computer to find the jokey "yearbook" picture thing everyone did, and then recognize her under the photoshoop'd 80s hair. "Ah yes thats her name" eta: to clarify i knew there was a person with her name, but i had to figure out which person was being referred to with "go talk to [her name]".
Good: My team got second place in the pubquiz tonight! Bad news: We got second because the other team cheated with their phones, but it couldn't be proved :(

Good news: this kitty has been sleeping on me for more than an hour, I am Blessed Bad news: I actually had shit I was supposed to do this morning. Instead I'm laying on the couch reading fanfiction with a kitty sleeping on me.
Good news: I remembered that I was out of some stuff before I got home and stopped at the grocery store! Bad news: In the FIVE MINUTE DRIVE from the grocery store to home, I forgot that I had groceries in my trunk. An hour and a half later, after going through my after-work routine of walking the dogs, making dinner, etc., I froze in the middle of getting a drink, yelled "FUCK!", and ran downstairs to get my groceries. All the frozen stuff melted. :(
Good news: I probably won't have to work an 8.5hr shift tomorrow... Bad news: ...beeeecause whatever the fuck this illness is has decided I'm not allowed to stand up for ten seconds without nearly passing out. I'm gonna have to Do Phone at least once, if not 3 times, til I can get to the doc appt bc the call-in system for my store is shitty
Work changed how a bunch of things are done, then moved it all to the end of the work day, then cut stuff from the end of the workday. I am so frazzled. On the other hand they also increased mental health coverage by more than 1000%, sooooo.

There's something involving me happening at larping tomorrow and it's either very good or very bad. Very good: I did a fucking fantastic job running the local charity drive and we made a shit ton of money for a good cause. Very bad: I have thus far made at least 3 people quit the game, possibly as many as 6. People have been banned for less. In my defense they were awful people who no one wanted around anyway. So either I'm getting an award or a banishment and there's no way to know until it happens.
Good news: I took the morning off today to rest because I've been starting to feel run-down, and I don't want to risk a crash and burn. I'm really grateful to have the luxury to do this, and I do think it helped. I do have to rejig my schedule to make up the hours of work I missed this morning, but that's my responsibility, and hopefully shifting my schedule to be a little busier later and giving myself the break now means, like I hope, that I avoid any potential crash. Bad news: I always feel guilty when I do stuff like this, because I know I'm in the small minority of people who can and I feel badly for all the people who can't - because it's not at all fair that it's a luxury to put on your oxygen mask and try to avoid a potential disaster. Also, I'm a little concerned I might be coming down with something physical, because I fell asleep again when I got home from school today (after sleeping until noon this morning). :/
Bad News: Been suffering from probable IBS for the past 8 months on and off, triggered by stress and prone to leaving me in pain for several days to weeks per episode, as a result of stress. Thanks to format of health insurance, I cannot actually visit a specialist without paying at least 180 dollars for an exploratory check-up, plus another 180 minimum for a follow up, and the 'free' primary option they have is literally a doctor-by-phone operator service that until today refuses to do anything for the pain or the bloating because I don't have an actual diagnosis. Good News: Today, I got a doctor willing to sign off on finally getting me a medication to try for IBS, so I start dicyclomine hopefully today (which, thanks to the generics plan that the insurance has, is actually free instead of 700+ dollars, god willing). I might be able to have the wedding and prepare for honeymoon/con without being in debilitating intestinal pain. I feel so relieved I could cry.
Bad: This town is built in a valley and I live more or less at the bottom of it so getting into town on my bike is an exercise in aching legs Good: Going home is downhill basically all the way and it's amazing
Bad: I have a pulled abdominal muscle, and will lose some hours at work Good: I caught it before it became a hernia! I'll still be able to get some hours too, just not as much as i've been getting.
Bad news: broken hot water heater, ice cold showers today and yesterday. ;_; Good news: landlord is responsive and a good guy and he's coming out tonight to see if he can fix it.
