Good: we had our first RE appt yesterday since we've been trying a year and it's given me new(hopefully not misplaced) hope.
Bad: we've been trying for a year, I hate my job, I hate my boss, H is having a hard time finding a job, H I'd depressed and angry about not finding a job and hating his current job and sometimes takes it out on me(yelling, not physically).
Good: I'll see my sister and her family this weekend. - I'm very happy for my inlaws who are on vacation in Brazil
Bad: I'm very frustrated and tired at the amount of work I yet have to do to graduate: several finals and a thesis that I haven't even started. All of which for a degree that is useless for the job market, yay! ok, I finished my pity party, thanks!
Good: I got drunk at happy hour and had a hot dog and jelly beans for dinner.
Bad: CWer who has been here a year (I've been here 7) makes more money than me for a similar position, simply because the person in her job previously had been here 10 years. We both started at the leaving salary of the person who held our job before. No negotiations, since that's how our employer rolls.
....that is the dumbest way of deciding someone's salary I've ever heard.
Believe me, I know. Our department is also the lowest paid in the university. Which means I may be the lowest paid employee with my job grade.
The good: Uhhhh. I managed to find a gas station this morning with gas at $3.71. Everywhere else is at $3.75+, and I'll bet this place will be too by the end of the day.
The bad: My job sucks and is stressful and I want out NOW. I think I need to give up on the job I interviewed with two weeks ago. I'm having a bad hair day. I don't have any plans this weekend. My SO's work schedule changed and he no longer has weekends off. I don't know the next time I'll be able to see him. It's been 4 weeks.
Good: I have a job I enjoy Bad: I get paid crap. They're trying to regrade my position so I would get a raise, but it's been 6 months with no end in sight. Also, I start the hell that is internships/working next week.

LOL @ AmeliaPond's good. That just made me happy. WTF to the salary thing though.
Good: four day weekend!! Family is coming into town, but not until late Friday/Sat and DH still has to work tomorrow, so I get a whole day with the bebe to myself!
Bad: DH slept through his sleep study follow up appt this morning. They won't tell him results over the phone, and now he can't get in for two more weeks. It's been an ordeal getting these appointments as it is, and if they just say, "oh lose weight, lalala" I might cut someone. I'm either going to buy a black market CPAP machine, a new bed for the office so I can sleep in there, or smother DH in his sleep.
Good: we hired our housekeeper to come weekly. And she is here today! And I have a 4 day weekend! Bad: I think my hourly wage based on how much I've been working the past month is less than minimum wage. I'm only half joking.

Good: I passed my dissertation proposal yesterday, got my IRB approved already (co-worker used to work in that dept so she got it pushed through quickly), and I am ready to rock and roll on piloting my survey. Excited to finally be getting to the research!
Bad: Nothing major, just the usual stuff - haven't been able to lose weight for several months, been having no luck with TTC

Good: happy, healthy kids Bad: battling the baby weight, and keep forgetting to take my daily thyroid medication which I'm sure is not helping with the latter
