What is the best thing that could happen to you this week?
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/
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 :)
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.
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.
Thanks much. It apparently went great! Now we wait for the offer, which should be coming and hopefully will be worth it!
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!
Considering they're en route to the hospital now, welcoming my very first nephew to the world would be a pretty awesome highlight
I can tell you something good that is happening this week. I got a job offer so I can quit the retail job I've been doing for 11 years.
Congrats! My partner is in a similar spot. He deeply wants to get out of retail but even so, he’s remiss to leave behind a decade+ of his time at this company. It’s oddly bittersweet (and it doesn’t help that the job search has been rough too).
All my digestive problems could disappear. That'd be rad.
No more heartburn. No more constipation.
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.
It HAS given me more dreams lately. Nothing bad. But I only had one nightmare as an adult. And it rarely shows up anyway.
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.
Without a prescription we only get 1mg pills anyway around here anyway. Is whats recommended.
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.
Oh interesting about the lack of sleep inertia! I’ve only tried melatonin once or twice but I had such heavy sleep inertia waking up. Glad you found something that works!
a decent job offer, have been job hunting for 2 months, but i'm neither senior nor junior. for some stuff i'm expert, others i have never done, the recruiters do not like this.
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.
A layoff/but out package that would carry me to my retirement date.
One of y'all can have this job. I've been doing it for enough decades now.
I won't be forced to work 6 days again and actually a good 3 days off so I can recharge for once.
Already gonna happen - it's Father's Day here in Australia, and my little girl will be spoiling me with all the little gifts she got from the school Father's Day stall last week. And we're going to start the Clone Wars series together.
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.
My daughter hit a deer last evening in her car and our insurance adjuster is due to be here within the hour to look at the damage and decide what to do.
My hope is that they’ll repair it and get it done quickly… she’s due to start her new job in less than a week and needs her car to get there… 🤞🏻
I successfully negotiate a wage appropriate to the work I'm doing as a co-op turned regular employee. Currently making a little over minimum, the national average for the work is 50/hr. Would be a massive boost to my life goals.
If my eife agreed to go to couples therapy, that's the best realistic thing. Well, I don't know how realistic it is.
It's been said that 90% of luck is preparation, and I've done about all the preparation I can do on this one.
My wife had been after me to go to couples therapy. I was convinced we didn't need it. After a while, I just scheduled something and sent her an appointment notice. Figured if she thought we needed it, I'd give it a try.
She called the therapist and cancelled our appointment soon after i sent her the notice. She claimed, "we didn't need to spend money on that right now." She hasn't brought it up since.
No idea what that was about
Finding a new apartment. My landlord just gave notice because they need the apartment for a family member and I need to find and move to a new place within three months.
Sucks big time cuz my current apartment is a pretty new building, quality flooring, bath, kitchen, tons of windows and very bright overall and I am paying way too little compared to similar apartments.
