It should be within reasonable range, like e.g. you won’t wake up as a Yedi or Superman tomorrow and world hunger won’t be solved just in a few days, etc

    It already happened on Monday. Found out the surgery was a success, and I’m now cancer free \o/

          It’s just a nasty inflammation on his shoulder, the vet thinks it’s from a tick bite, or a thorn.
          Two weeks of meds, three times a day. I’m getting better at it, kitty does not resist as he did at first, it’s become a quick and painless thing to pop the pill right down his throat.

          But yeah… I screwed up by forgetting to apply his Advantage flea and tick oil earlier this summer.

            oh yeah it can be very hard to have an outdoor or indoor/outdoor cat when they require flea treatments like that.

    I’ll start. The best thing that can happen to me this week is to successfully make plans that I am happy about for the weekend :)

    My wife is interviewing for a job today. It would be a big deal if she got it, especially since she’s been out of work for six months.

            Well, it wasn’t $400k but it ended up being a little better than we expected so we can chalk this one up as a sorely needed win!

      Congratulations!! Really trying to get to the same spot right now. I’m in software with very niche experience though, so nobody want to hire me.

      Despite my misgivings with my job, it’s far less shitty than retail (been there) so I can suck it up.

        I’m pretty sure that my job is related to the majority of my mental health issues so I’m really happy to get out. It’s pretty emotional though because 11 years at a job is a long time.

          Man I’ve been there. Once you see the positive mental health gains, though, you’ll wonder how you lasted 11 years haha.

          I’m happy for you, and I hope it’s only up from here!

    A reliable sleep schedule.

    I’ve been having trouble with it for a LONG time. But last week I found that 2mg melatonin before bed makes me both fall asleep easier AND wake up in a better mood/less sleep inertia. I’m hoping it lasts.

      I also had issues sleeping. 50mg Trazodone. No more issues sleeping. I’m out for a solid 6 hours within 30 minutes of taking.

      the only thing I learned in therapy that helped me was getting the correct dosage of melatonin. I use to think you would take more to sleep longer and deeper - turns out no. Need to take less.

      I take 1mg now instead of 10 and it works amazing.

            Its only recently-ish (2020) become prescription-less here in Norway, and only in small amounts. We are a very conservative country when it comes to healtcare.

              that’s interesting, I had no idea. It’s kinda crazy you can get such a high dosage of it here over the counter or online cause after I talked to someone who’s a doctor- it doesn’t even seem like you need that much of it ever really.

      Dear lord I know your pain.

      A great big “Fuck You” to Capitol One for making me call off work for a 6 hour interview, telling me I did great, and then telling me that they can’t hire me due to my lack of AWS experience which I told them about from the very beginning.

      “Oh we’d love it if you applied again in 6 months” as though I’d ever want to work for a company that so disrespectfully wasted my time, even if I did somehow magically gain AWS work experience while stuck in a job that does not use AWS during that timeframe.

        A couple of times per year for the heck of it.

        I do it when I have $2.50 over that I won’t be sad if I lost.

        It won’t hurt if I win and it won’t really hurt if I do.

        It’s when you start to put in a lot of cash that it starts to hurt and $10 per year won’t get me anywhere.

    I have a flight to catch tomorrow and am currently running a fever of 103°F.

    The best thing that could happen to me would be that I miraculously get better so I don’t miss my flight.

    Not gonna happen though. I’ll just have to book another ticket for next week. That’s the equivalent of ~100 USD (~300 USD on PPP basis) I’ll never see again.
