Today was a bit of a rollercoaster.

Today was a bit of a rollercoaster.

This morning I had a dentist appointment.  I now have a temporary crown on one of my teeth.  I usually love going to the dentist and today was no different, but I had a new experience there:  The dental assistant triggered my gag reflex which was pretty awful to have happen while laying on your back with your mouth propped wide open.  I have a fear of choking to death on vomit so I didn't much care for that.  She kept propping the green sucky thing on the back of my throat and it nearly happened a couple of times.  Other than that, things went well.

So anyway, I was fine and I went home and had a notification that I had gotten my paycheck.  When I logged in to see it I thought "That can't be right."  So I let HR know that there was a bonus on my check that I didn't think was meant for me.  Turns out that I won a LFG award for May and that big-ass bonus WAS mine.  It was announced later in the day at a meeting.  So that was pretty nice.

The last week or so I've been really stressed about some things.  We've had a few sick cats and that's not only very sad and stressful since they are all getting up there in age, but also tough financially.  I have a very sick friend that I'm worried about.  My depression has resurfaced a bit.  So I haven't felt that I was at the top of my game, not even at work, but one of my managers assured me that I was doing great at our meeting this week and the award really hit that home.  I feel like I needed it not only financially, but emotionally, too, as weird as that might sound.  The timing couldn't have been better.

So that was my day.  A couple of things that I wasn't expecting; one bad and one good.  No complaints here!

Happy weekend, friends.  ❤
