Friday highs and lows

[explorer2001]

High - My friends rock. I just found a birthday card at my desk and they are taking me to lunch.

Low - waking up at 2am puking for the second time in two weeks. I don't know why. So I feel like I'm flipping from not wanting to eat to feeling good, eating, and waking up in the middle of the night puking. Yuck.

Related dilemma - what should I have for lunch that is celebratory but won't upset my stomach?

Happy Birthday. My bday was this week too and my coworkers did the same. It was so nice. We had mexican so i dont think I am any help on the food thing. Maybe soup and salad from somewhere would be good for you.

High - I woke up this morning.

Low - I put this in the random thread but I drove through a puddle and killed my car this morning. I should have stayed in bed.

[Deleted]

High: Seeing co-workers all pull together to help some kids.

Low: Foster parents who I want to kick in the shins. Okay, so I'd prefer to kick a little higher, but would settle for the shins.

[fuddyduddy]

Happy birthday!

My high and low are the same: my STBXH and I filed for divorce this week.

[Deleted]

Highs: went into work late, got myself and DH new clothes for Christmas eve and day parties, and the last of the chocolate I needed to set up the Christmas table for his family on Christmas day. So I think the shopping is done! And it's snowing!

Low: I still have 5hrs of work, and I'll be really bored in about 1hr. Unless I want to running maintenance on the office portable laptops, and I don't.

[Deleted]

High- Exchanging gifts with my boss, she knows me so well, and then at noon my whole company is going to a local restaurant for lunch and alcohol.

Low- Having to work for four hours.

[Deleted]

High: 4 day weekend!

Low: The house is a disaster!

[Deleted]

High - 5 day weekend, MH and I are both home today, and I'm finally getting my hair cut/colored this afternoon (I was supposed to go when the hurricane hit then was super busy).

Low - I had my first RE appt. this morning and this infertility shit is starting to get real.

[Deleted]

Highs:
We have a champagne toast at 2:30 followed by an early dismissal
Dinner tonight will be fried pizza
I think a memo that has been hanging over my head for a week will go to the client today

Lows:
I'm scared there will be follow-up on the memo over the weekend
I have to go to the Container Store today to buy wrapping paper and I'm really, really scared of the lines.
I have so much wrapping to do, and I'm kind of stressed by our family commitments over the next few days

[theintended]

High: Last day of work for the year!
Low: The NRA press conference. wtf

[Deleted]

High--at home on vacation baking & cooking up a storm.

Low--my dog hurt his neck and is all drugged up & mopey. I feel so sad for him and want him to get better asap.

[limey]

High - I had a fantastic workout last night and really rocked a new skill.
Friend's birthday dinner is tomorrow night.

Low - I have to get a cavity filled today.

[justjen]

High- I ran up to the box office and got my sister Book of Mormon tix for christmas/birthday. She's gonna be jazzed. And navigating midtown wasn't nearly as terrible as I'd feared.

Low- I have a cold and tonight is my scheduled late night, which likely means at least a 12-hour day. And I have a boatload of people I still need gifts for

Their heads are so far up their asses it's unbelievable.

[heygrey]

High: day 1 of 6 off for Christmas!

Low: my house is messy and I wish elves would clean it for me.

Clearly not a bad day at all.

[Deleted]

High: got my hair done! NJ pizza tonight!

Low: anticipating huge crowds at the airport.

[Deleted]

High: A Preschool aged boy came in with his Mom and gave us a box of delicious cookies. When he handed them to me he said, "Thanks for reading me good books and letting me make messes in the play spot."

Low: I don't like driving in snow.

[Deleted]

High: Today is the last day of work for me until January 2nd! And I'm leaving town tonight to see my family. I'm excited and not very productive because of it.

Low: DH got paid and it is confirmed that this is his "new paycheck". He recently got off the night shift and lost a shift differential, and then was able to start contributing to a 401k (he had to work there 6 months before that kicked in) so in all we're taking home about $400 less a month than we used to. I'm getting a little stressed about money because we've been spending too much lately and that basically just eliminated our savings budget line. And our savings is pathetic. We're going to need to cut back in some other areas but I'm not sure how easy that is going to be.

[hulley]

High - I got a new haircut that I really, really love. I think I found a new hairdresser. Best of all, she works at Supercuts! $18 haircut!

Low - second bomb threat in as many weeks at DDs school. WTF, children? Tis is not something 'cool' to joke about. I wish I'd made her stay home today, but she insisted on going to school for her teacher's first day back from maternity leave.

[mellymel]

High: I am off work until Jan 2!

Low: pregnancy + stomach flu = pure misery. Plus all three of us have it (me, DH, and 18 month old DS). Misery.

[statlerwaldorf]

Highs: It snowed. DD was so excited to go out and build a snowman.

Lows: I cannot get over this cold. I've been sick all week.

[Deleted]

High: I got a cost of living adjustment. It's going straight to retirement and I'm psyched! Also no work at all next week. See ya next year suckers (for two days, then off again to go on my cruise).

Low: I feel like every night when I get home all I want to do is go to sleep and my poor H is all alone.

[Deleted]

High: I AM ON CHRISTMAS BREAK BITCHES!

Low: Getting gypsy-ed in the mall parking deck

[Deleted]

High- I'm down 4 lbs this week even though I got AF. 4 day weekend!! Just had our firm holiday party and my lunch was low-ish carb AND delicious.

Lows- I got AF and we are TTC. I'm still at work and its snowing out. No word on any Christmas bonus or raise :/

[Deleted]

Airport security was great. We left our apartment at 1, had checked two bags, and made it to the terminal by 2.

New high: spending the last hour getting tipsy at the airport bar. Mmm spicy bloody marys!

[KaraOrNot]

Low: I bought H a suprise tv for christmas. We were talking about TVs today and he mentioned that he wanted something very different than what I bought. I ruined the surprise and told him what I purchased, so that I could return it before it was delivered.

High: It turned out that he likes the one I picked out. I am sad that it is no longer a surprise, but he is happy!

[hellonurse]

High- I don't have TB after all.

Low- Today has pretty much sucked. I lost my debit card, the kids are all crazy & cranky, work sucked, etc. Ready for a vacation!


FuddyDuddy- congrats and I'm sorry.

[Deleted]

High-finally got a positive opk!
Higher-my H just found out he gets Christmas day off because he initially had to work
Highest-just walked out of my annual performance review with a promotion, a 10% raise for next year, and a 10% semi-annual bonus!
omg I am on cloud nine...

[genet313]

High: Closed a deal at work/got an offer from another firm that I might actually consider taking.

Low: Eh. I was fat this AM on the scale. Right in time for the holiday binge! Definitely need to get on track once Christmas/NYE pass.

[biogirl21]

High: I found out I'm going to have 6 hours overtime because of a scheduling fuck-up.

Low: H and I got into a bit of a fight about TTC. I guess now after 15 months he's decided that we're not ready or in a good enough spot to have a baby yet. He want to wait until we're thirty. Uh, dude that's in four years and I want a baby 6 months ago! It was a really bad night.
