I went to the doctor yesterday to go over my MRI - I only have a partial meniscus tear, which should heal on it's own. I got a cortisone shot to help with pain and hopefully it will get better. If it's still hurting in 4 weeks, I will need the surgery.
At least I can get through closing and the move without surgery. And the pain has mostly subsided from the shot at this point. Yay!

Awesome news, DL!!
My good news is that I have an awesome weekend planned. Going to a happy hour tonight with some good friends and old co-workers. Tomorrow is my nephew's HS graduation party. Sunday I am going shopping for vacation clothes.
I haven't killed anyone this week. That's about the best I can do.
ETA: Oh, remember that project I was working on? The one that caused me to have no life for over a month because I worked every damn day? Found out last night that the company won the follow-on work and 20+ people are gainfully employed for another 5 years. I'd be more excited if I didn't hate my job so much right now.
Great news DL! I hope everything turns out okay and the next couple of weeks go smoothly.
The best I've got for good news is that I have off on Monday. I have to go with my DS for registration and orientation at the college where he's taking a few classes next year. That will be kind of fun. I know he's excited for the opportunity.
My morning is not turning into the total nightmare I thought it was going to be. Today was supposed to be my day to leave early and I might have a shot at it actually happening.
My good news: I currently have $1000 in my savings account, in addition to my checking account. Considering just a few months ago I was consistently overdrawn on my checking account and didn't even have a savings account, I feel 10 fucking feet tall.
Also, in August I am staying here: www.madonnainn.com/index.php for 4 days on a mini-vacation for a friend's birthday bash. I am so ridiculously excited and can't fucking wait.
I will most likely finish my re-read of Jane Eyre tonight. And then I get to finally move on to episode 9 of my challenge. I'm desperately trying to make up some time that I wasted not finishing Don Quixote. I have all the books (minus one- that my library JUST emailed me they now have available for me) ready to go!
Lurker, posting because I actually HAVE good news today.
DH survived his first week at a new job! I still don't think it will work out long term, but I'm proud of him for trying something new and powering through it.
(quick background for those who haven't read my sparse posts: my H has Bipolar II and ADD and isn't really stable. We have been talking about putting him on disability, but he hates that idea and wanted one more shot at steady employment before we go that route. This week has been extremely challenging for him, but he made it!)
My good news: A day off is in sight - next Saturday (6/23)! We're going to a party tonight for a friend who just got her dream job with the gov't and her current employer is sending her a huge send-off.
I've been pretty down this week, so the good things are kinda based off of that. My coworkers see me as smart and come to me/recommend others come to me for help with "smart people stuff" like coming up with metaphors to compare for an English paper. Apparently they think my smarts are well-rounded and not just confined to psychology. I needed to realize this after how I've been feeling. Also, I realized that there are people who care and want to be there for me/support me even when I'm a debbie downer.
Oh, and this weekend I'll be having two awesome dinners with my parents. One will be for his birthday, at an asian fusion restaurant that we haven't been to in years, and the other will be for father's day at one of our favorite Italian restaurants. I'm going to have gnocchi with a lamb ragu and a glass of valpolicella or amarone. Yay!
It's Friday. That's about all the good news I can muster today. I am so buried under mounds and piles of work that I'm kind of perpetually cranky lately.
