Let's salute President Claremont: What's your one good thing, one bad thing for today? I'll start: Good: I got the phrase "bouncy house deployment" into something I wrote for work (and my boss loved it). 😆 Bad: I only learned ~20 min ago that today is not, in fact, Wednesday. 😬 What're yours?
Good: Helping to take care of my Gramma is...strangely repairing a lot of our strained relationship. Bad: Sciatica is THE WORST
Wow, that is a /really/ good good thing! 💗🫂 And oof, hell yes. Sciatica SUCKS, I'm so sorry.
Good: Summer vacation is almost over and my life will not be occupied by an unending series of I'm boreds. Bad: My life will instead be occupied by an unending series of ministerial PTO duties.
Oh man, I feel this! Solidarity, mama!! They get you coming and going, don't they? Wishing you as streamlined a fall semester as possible!! 📖📝🥪🎒
Good: I'm seeing Jaws in 4D at the theater later tonight with my friends and I'm very excited! Bad: still have to clean and pack a bag to visit my parents
SUCH a great movie! And brilliant of you to see it at the END of summer, instead of the beginning, so it won't scare you off diving in at the beach.... What exactly is a 4D movie? Do you get -- splashed? Bitten?! 😆
I've only seen it once forever ago and dont remember much about it so I'm stoked!! 4D stands 4 Da Shark (wind effects, splashing, moving seats, uhhhhh snow and fog??? Idk if thats everything but its super fun!!)
Oh man!!! Mom and I did a double feature of Twister/Twisters in 4DX and IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.
AHHHH twisters was the first movie I saw in 4DX and it was so so fun!! I've gone to quite a few now and twisters still remains in my top 3!! Would have KILLED to see the original too!!!!
Also in my opinion, thinking it's Wednesday but it's actually Thursday is much better than thinking it's Friday but it's actually Thursday 😅
😆 True!!
Good: it's Friday, and the last weekend of winter ☀️☀️☀️ Bad: I'm still 8 hours of work away from enjoying the good thing
Yay for spring Down Under!! 🎉🪷🏵️☀️ I'm massively jealous that you've already made it to Friday....
Better than Wednesday 😂
Good: The weather has been absolutely amazing, more like mid-September than August. Bad: I live in the U.S. in 2025. 🫠
Oh, Allie! It /has/ been beautiful. And....god, I don't even know what to say about the other thing.
Bad thing: no time to actually take my break at work until shortly before I went home (I like it being kind of close, but not *that* close) Good thing: finally convincing my mom to let me go to a physical (regular doctor's appointment) on my own!
Ugh! So sorry to hear that. (My lefty heart wants to add: This is why we all need unions!! Get you a rep who puts those break times in a contract!) And congrats on the solo physical. That is huge. (Probably huge for your mom as well!)
We get them, and it usually isn't that bad, we just had a weird schedule yesterday, and I'm never hungry early- so I did it to myself (mostly), promise! She's the reason it hasn't happened before now, so completely different versions of that sentiment, but yes!
Good thing I finished two books in audio book form! Bad thing 🤔I broke my nail that it split in half 😅
Good: the school library is fully put back together, looking as beautiful as ever, ready for kiddos! Bad: I forgot I’m thirty and my body hates me now, so doing (essentially) 3 hours of squats was a bad idea 😅
Yay for libraries! 🎉📖📖🎉 Query: How do you spend that much time in a library without succumbing to reading instead of doing....anything else you meant to do? 😆 Re 30-yr-old bodies: Hey, at least you CAN do three hours of squats? (Sorry to report: In subsequent decades, this may not be the case....)
I mean, my perception of ability is definitely skewed by working with teenagers who basically fall down and bounce 😂 And I didn’t say I wasn’t reading. I walked away with a list of 20+ books to check out and read this school year!
good: spent a lot of quality time with my beloved friends dancing and having fun ✨ bad: got a tummyache in the club. i am not a tummyache survivor…
Yay for dancing and friendship! 💃🪩🕺🪩🎉 SO sorry about the other thing, that sucks!
Hot girls have tummy issues (us and ACD)
