Good News-Bad News Rollercoaster

Greetings, Fellow Readers!

This past week has been a good-bad-good-bad news sort of week. None of the bad news has been devastating, but it seems to me that I really deserve a little normalcy in my life. But then, many of my friends would attest that I have never BEEN normal...

The good news was last week, we thought we might get a storm heading our way and bring some much needed rain. The bad news was it might turn into a damaging hurricane.

The good news was Don didn't. The bad news was Don didn't. It just fizzled, dried out as it hit our coastline, and according to the national weather center, did so like no other storm has ever done. I can attest to that. As I was floating in the pool one day, I noticed dark clouds coming my way. I thought I might have to get out of the water, but then I saw it. The rain coming down, and literally evaporating halfway down as it hit the extremely dry air.

The good news is at least my high storm shutters are up. The bad new was I twisted my knee again going up and down the ladder. but the good news was that I didn't have to go get a cortisone shot. And my shutters are staying up until after hurricane season.

The good news was I stocked up on quick foods in case the electricity went out. The bad news it didn't so I had lots of "not so good for me" food. The good news the pizza was really good. The bad news? It was really good.

The good news was that I actually found a few job opportunities. The bad news was that most have ignored my request for an interview. The good news I got one opportunity, but the bad news was I didn't get the job.

The good news is I found still another personnel agency and had an chance for a face-to-face meeting. The bad news is that agency didn't like my reinvented resume and actually liked the old one better. Third revision coming up!

The bad news is all that extra pizza loved my waistline. The good news is I have two weeks to work it off.

The bad news is I had to face the fear of discovery of my pizza indiscretion last night at my support group. The good news is I didn't, and that they are reinventing the support group format which should be even more productive.

The good news is my doctor reduced the dosage on my blood pressure medicine. The bad new... oh, wait! That is ALL good news! It means I am making progress!

The good news, I am not normal. The bad news is that I am not normal....

More fun being weird, but a teensy bit of normalcy would be greatly appreciated for a couple of weeks.
