High: Sleeping in

Low: Tasting the keto cake I made in the Instant Pot

High/Low
 

Buying and preparing all the goodies to go on my Subway (first attempt) sandwich. lettuce, ham, red onion, green pepper, cheese, tomato, Italian dressing. Low-- would not roll up,pitabread was too hard I guess. I think you are suppose to steam it I dont know. Anyway, chowed on it but wont do it again.

Putting the Pita bread in the oven or toaster for a couple minutes may have helped, too.

Yesterday’s high: getting the video door bell hooked up to the wi-if.

Low: overcooking the broccoli to make broccoli salad for lunch today. Had it for dinner instead.

Yesterday’s high: seeing that I’ve lost 3 pounds
Yesterday’s low: watching the news

High: Receiving a 220k grant for rapid rehousing for individuals fleeing domestic violence.

Low: Begging for five minutes to eat lunch at 5pm.

Low: a person who, it's obvious to me but I doubt I am wrong, was going on and on about how they think you-know-who is such a decent person and that they won't be kicked to another universe (my interpretation). It's SO F % C K % N G worrisome that there is anybody who can't see what a crooked horrible person that person is. There better be a tsunami wave of voter participation to oust that horrible person off the face of the map.

High: That four former bosses wrote wonderful references for me and that boss number five told me today that he's gonna write his reference for me, tomorrow morning. And, that a client wrote one for me too. It's all administrated by third party, but I can see who wrote references for me and it felt so good to know they each did that for me. :stillheart:


<<<<<<~~~ Very lucky & Filled with gratitude tonight. :balloon:

Low: All the rain we are getting. It's not flooding here, but it is flooding in other parts of our state. If it doesn't quit raining soon, we might be experiencing flooding too. Every day it's a "lake" outside and I just don't wanna have to paddle my way to work. Paddling on the river for fun is one thing, but paddling daily is quite different. I don't want to have to boat my way to work every day. I just want a reprieve from all this rain. :(

Somewhat better than Low, but not exactly a high: I got a bunch of stuff crossed off my To-Do list today, but I've got more things to get crossed off my list before I can feel better.

The proverbial High: If I ace my test when I take it, I will be so happy. I might just have to throw a party, just for me.

:tease: :jester::bunchflowers::blueheels: :cheesy:

High: reaching a milestone on a work project
Low: seeing I gained 3 pounds

High: A backrub from my boy
Low: Boy had to go to work during this pandemic because he's "essential"

High/Low
 

My high today was talking to my brother who is in his 80s and looking after himself at home. Keeping away from people and eating and sleeping well. He is so special to me, last of my direct family.
My low today is seeing how many more people are getting the virus and how many people are passing away from it. The rain and gloom has been going on 3 days now and it doesn't help here in my cabin on the third floor.

High: hearing about a California wine and spirit distributor who ordinarily makes wines and spirits. They've actually converted their business to directly produce Hand Sanitizer and they're working in tandem to get hundreds of gallons to area hospitals who are in dire need of hand sanitizer. :vigil::vigil::vigil:

Low: People who won't abide by the Social Distancing policy for their own safety or for the safety of others. People who think they won't contract this virus. It's their gross sense of entitlement that scares me and makes me sad and distressed for not only my own safety, but for the safety of others. (w)(w)(w)

Yesterday’s high: still having a job

Low: taking a substantial pay cut for this quarter and possibly longer.

High: Brownies for breakfast!

Low: Maybe I won't have one.

high - changing the bad energy to good energy and getting things done

low - not sleeping has its perks i suppose

High was able to get treatment #2 in the book of 5 of radiation


Low not knowing if radiation is doing the job so we can keep doing Keytruda

High was finally getting delivery of new BBQ.
Low was opening the 60 page book of assembly instructions.
True, it was in English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese, Low Dutch, and Polish.

HIGH - I got to leave the house today! And go to the grocery store, which was surprisingly uncrowded and where people were _mostly_ practicing social distancing and wearing PPE. And I found everything on my shopping list.

LOW - I nearly passed out after walking a short distance. I mean that literally. I'm concerned about my oxygen saturation and I have ordered a pulse oximeter.

The Low: Gosh, I ordered a fabulous Mother's Day prezzie for my mother weeks ago, and supposedly today, five weeks later, it will be delivered but I have big doubts about that because I've gotten e-notices daily about how Amazon is SO SORRY (not really, tho), and that hopefully it will be here by sundown tonight (sarcasm alert).

The High: I got a bunch of stuff done today; plus I trimmed and colored my curly locks, and I am doing my laundry also, so I've pretty much gotten all my chores crossed off my list for today. Tomorrow will be a better day because I can justifiably be super couch-loving lazy. :tease: :cheer:

High: Scheduling to get a day off this week when it will be the sunniest warmest day of the week.

Low: Being cold all day at work and then getting caught in a rain storm. Soaked through.

High again: Getting home and into warm dry clothes.

High: sunshine. Lots of sunshine.

Low: I shipped a package to my son last week, 2 day express. But it hasn't been delivered.

High: Still waiting for it
Low: Finding out I sent out two inaccurate emails to 1000 people

Yesterday’s High: Getting a “no harm done” email from my manager
Yesterday’s Low: Telling some co-workers I’m leaving in June

Yesterday high: My daughter graduated from college. Obviously no ceremony. We had a "drive by" party for friends and family to love on her from afar. My cousin's son drove almost three hours to get here. He is a nurse on a Covid ward. Just graduated last year from nursing school. It was so good to see him and we put together boxes of snacks and treats for him to help him through his overnight shifts. My sister in law and nephews came and parked out front for a while to talk through the window. I haven't seen them in person since March. We facetime but that's not nearly the same. It really hammered in how much things have changed. It was so good to see their sweet faces, even when it was sad to see them struggling with the masks. My older nephew has a new big tooth that I got to take pictures of from afar.

Low: Seeing my nephews. I was already really missing my brother who would have been so damn excited to be at my daughter's graduation. Even if it was a weird drive by event instead of what it should have been. He had been her educational cheerleader since birth. Not being able to hug my nephews. We are always hugs and snuggles and piggy back rides. My youngest nephew kept reaching for me through the window and just looking at me not understanding. They both called me Mama and asked for time together, asked me to take them to the playground we go to. After my brother died they of course continued calling their mom Mommy but I became Mama because I normally take care of them so much. It broke my heart to hear them calling for me like that and not be able to scoop them up and love on them.

High - talking on the phone with my aunt while taking a walk around the neighborhood

Low - running out of time to do all the chores I had on my to do list for today

High: my day with friends.
And on my way home, thinking how much I'm enjoying everyone's Christmas lights much more than I've enjoyed in the past (hard to explain but it's related to grief in previous years)

Low: stressed out about my upcoming spine surgery to fuse my lumbar and remove/clean up 2 disks. Last year I had a bad reaction to anesthesia. Makes me scared now.

High: Hanging my new set of Nightmare Before Christmas ornaments on the Christmas tree and watching Christmas shows with my boy.

Low: Lying in bed, bored, coughing, wondering when will I ever be over this nasty virus?

High - I'm am definitely better, and barely even coughing any more. My arthritis isn't as bad either.

Low - Being reminded that I can't be everything I want to be.

High: going to a food pantry and bringing back holiday groceries for some of my very low income senior and disabled residents. I couldn’t believe how much they gave them! And they gave them grocery store gift certificates, and blankets! I almost cried…

Low: I’m trying my best to get gloves for some of my residents before the snow hits. Doesn’t look like I’m gonna be able to until after Christmas. Right now some of them are using mismatched gloves or they only have one glove. Sickens me the disparity I see daily on my job.

High: Sunny outside and no rain for our trip to the vet today.

Low: Listening to Brittany moan and groan miserably because her injection spots hurt.

High: End-of-year purge of file cabinet papers/documents. Boxed up things to be tossed out on the 1st.

Low: Looking for a condolence card for my bestie and her family.

Delighted by good news, yet sad about what will happen next
 

High: a crown on my front tooth broke yesterday and my regular dentist was able to repair it today.

Low: My regular dentist said the crown actually needs to be replaced and to go to the Doctor who originally fixed it 6 years ago and have him redo the crown. I don't have money trees in my proverbial back yard, so I'm saddened by the fact I don't have money trees to get the crown fixed on my front tooth.


* I need a financial miracle *
