Good and Bad?

Good: I had a good time with my family over the weekend. I got some exercise. I sold a few more items- 2 large display cases that were taking up room in our garage.


Bad: I've been worrying about a few situations. I got a lower grade on than I thought I would.

Good: I'm on a buying expedition in Houston and I've found some things to resell.

I watched a cool play last night.

Bad: I've been walking a lot and my knees are aching ( must buy aspirin tonight!)

Bad: My Dad was having chest pains this morning, he went to the ER and even though they said he didn't have a heart attack, they are admitting him for observation. And I'm at work right now so I can't be there with him until I get off of work.

Good: I asked the owner of the business where I work a difficult question. And the controller is coming out from NY next week. I hope she helps me out with learning some stuff.

Bad: I continue to have totally dysregulated sleep that is just all over the map. No structure to it, no plan. Just randomness.

Good: I have decided I am just going to go with it for now. If I am up all night and don't get tired until 11 AM, then so be it. Someday, it will get sorted.

Good: it was fun to be part of the audience at the play Orpheus in the Underworld. I sat next to the mother of one of the performers and she engaged me in conversation.

Bad: I felt some anxiety during the conversation.

Good: Completed a difficult, 4-hour bike ride very early this morning and was invigorated by it. Saw some very cute bunny rabbits hopping across the trail, which cheered me up to no end.

Bad: Came back and immediately ate a gigantic slice of pepperoni pizza, likely totally undoing all the nice cardio benefit I had just briefly obtained from the long ride.

Good: I'm back home- it was a good flight- the rental car return was uneventful. It's been good to see my family again.

Bad: I'm beating myself up for being petty with my wife. I just gave her a hard time about the way she described what her sister would like to do to update her new house.

Good: had a fun day with my cousin.

Bad: didn't make it to the gym and I really feel a difference when I exercise regularly in my mental and physical health.

Good: Got to talk to some nice people at church

Bad: I'm getting a sore throat.

Good: No SI today.

Bad: Did not work out today. Maybe go for a quick one right now...

Good: slept longer last night for first time in over a week.

Bad: Still not anywhere near sleeping through the night.

Good: I spoke up in class in an appropriate way.

Bad: I feel vulnerable (because of what I talked about).

Good: I am seeing my psychiatrist today.

Bad: I still don't know what's going on with me right now.

Good: Right at this exact moment, I feel better than I have in weeks. Sleeping helps.

Bad: I am only sleeping because of this Zyprexa bomb and I can't take it forever, so, not sure what the long-term solution is.

Good: Things are going okay. I've been volunteering at a shelter for domestic & sexual violence. My grades are okay- no major conflicts with the people I'm around on a day to day basis. I've been planning on how to get everything done before the end of the semester.


Bad: I'm more than half-way through the semester and I have 2 big papers to write. I've been ruminating on something that happened in class yesterday.

Good: I got those papers done and got an A- in both classes.

I'm planning on taking a trip with my 11 yr old son- this will be the first time just the two of us have traveled together.


Bad: Every once a while I catch myself bragging.

I also worry about things. Like- how are people going to react to my bragging?

That's great news about your trip and exam result - congratulations!

Good - almost everything, I feel like I have got a great balance in my life and I feel happy.

Bad - I think I have sciatica, shooting pain down my leg/low back. It's mostly a problem when I sit for long periods, fortunately I don't sit much.

Good: I had a good time with my wife and son last night

Bad: I sold something on eBay and the buyer asked me to partially disassemble it before shipping. I did it, but now I worry that she will complain about how I did it- or break it while trying to assemble it, and claim that it was broken when she got it (I've had some bad experiences with buyers in the past).

Bad: Living alone is lonely and isolating.

Good: there is lots of freedom to create, meditate and listen to the birds.

Bad: Unwell today.

Good: Picked up by early evening

Bad: I ruminated a lot today.

Good: I'm home and resting after a dental procedure, and I like being home. I'm about to knit and excited about it.

Bad: I had a week where I waffled on decisions I have to make and felt very negative about myself.
Good: I started a new fitness (running) program two weeks ago and have been sticking to it extremely well.

Good- Our trip is coming up soon. I've been making plans for what we'll do when we're there. The seller received the package, and so far has been quiet. No news is good news.


Bad- I worry and ruminate about situations- past, present and future.

Bad - physically still not great.

Good - Volunteering went well today.

Good: I just found a really good deal on a line by line commentary of Aristotle's work.


Bad: I'm painfully aware of my own inadequacy and imperfection.
