What is your HIGH and low for Just Today?

[Stone-Butch]

My high today was talking to my brother who is in his 80s and looking after himself at home. Keeping away from people and eating and sleeping well. He is so special to me, last of my direct family.
My low today is seeing how many more people are getting the virus and how many people are passing away from it. The rain and gloom has been going on 3 days now and it doesn't help here in my cabin on the third floor.

[Kätzchen]

High: hearing about a California wine and spirit distributor who ordinarily makes wines and spirits. They've actually converted their business to directly produce Hand Sanitizer and they're working in tandem to get hundreds of gallons to area hospitals who are in dire need of hand sanitizer. :vigil::vigil::vigil:

Low: People who won't abide by the Social Distancing policy for their own safety or for the safety of others. People who think they won't contract this virus. It's their gross sense of entitlement that scares me and makes me sad and distressed for not only my own safety, but for the safety of others. (w)(w)(w)

[Orema]

Yesterday’s high: still having a job

Low: taking a substantial pay cut for this quarter and possibly longer.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

High: Brownies for breakfast!

Low: Maybe I won't have one.

[clay]

HIGH: Video chat
AND receiving a food pantry bag with TOILET PAPER in it!!

LOW: Hearing the national figures:(

[RebelDyke]

high - changing the bad energy to good energy and getting things done

low - not sleeping has its perks i suppose

[Bèsame*]

High...realized I did over 11,000 steps today ..and.. yesterday..wow!

Low...went to post office to mail a package but forgot to mail a letter! I'll have to do a drive by :/

[Bèsame*]

High...my best friend became a Grandma, this afternoon! We have been on baby alert since yesterday. Sweetest and healthiest baby boy!

Low...it will be two weeks before she can hold him. It will be drive by time for now. :(

[Teddybear]

High was able to get treatment #2 in the book of 5 of radiation


Low not knowing if radiation is doing the job so we can keep doing Keytruda

[C0LLETTE]

High was finally getting delivery of new BBQ.
Low was opening the 60 page book of assembly instructions.
True, it was in English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese, Low Dutch, and Polish.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

HIGH - I got to leave the house today! And go to the grocery store, which was surprisingly uncrowded and where people were _mostly_ practicing social distancing and wearing PPE. And I found everything on my shopping list.

LOW - I nearly passed out after walking a short distance. I mean that literally. I'm concerned about my oxygen saturation and I have ordered a pulse oximeter.

[Kätzchen]

The Low: Gosh, I ordered a fabulous Mother's Day prezzie for my mother weeks ago, and supposedly today, five weeks later, it will be delivered but I have big doubts about that because I've gotten e-notices daily about how Amazon is SO SORRY (not really, tho), and that hopefully it will be here by sundown tonight (sarcasm alert).

The High: I got a bunch of stuff done today; plus I trimmed and colored my curly locks, and I am doing my laundry also, so I've pretty much gotten all my chores crossed off my list for today. Tomorrow will be a better day because I can justifiably be super couch-loving lazy. :tease: :cheer:

[Bèsame*]

Low..waking up at 2am in a hot apt.,realizing my A/C is not working. I finished the night on the couch with the fan.

High..getting immediate attention with a work order this morning. I ended up getting a new Unit installed within hours. I bet it will be more efficient with a newer model. Yay me $$

[easygoingfemme]

High: Scheduling to get a day off this week when it will be the sunniest warmest day of the week.

Low: Being cold all day at work and then getting caught in a rain storm. Soaked through.

High again: Getting home and into warm dry clothes.

[Kenna]

High: sunshine. Lots of sunshine.

Low: I shipped a package to my son last week, 2 day express. But it hasn't been delivered.

[Orema]

High: Still waiting for it
Low: Finding out I sent out two inaccurate emails to 1000 people

[clay]

HIGH: Getting my knee & shoulder injections...finally....today..waited for this CV19 to start to "slow some" as my ortho was NOT seeing patients, only emergencies...and I full well understand.

LOW: Now I have to deal with the achiness for few days and an firetruck red face...thanks steroids...lol.

[kittygrrl]

high- 2 hr drive, a hike 3.4mi this weekend, to falls i've never seen! stoked..w a date, i trust

low-i have to wait til Saturday

[Orema]

Yesterday’s High: Getting a “no harm done” email from my manager
Yesterday’s Low: Telling some co-workers I’m leaving in June

[easygoingfemme]

Yesterday high: My daughter graduated from college. Obviously no ceremony. We had a "drive by" party for friends and family to love on her from afar. My cousin's son drove almost three hours to get here. He is a nurse on a Covid ward. Just graduated last year from nursing school. It was so good to see him and we put together boxes of snacks and treats for him to help him through his overnight shifts. My sister in law and nephews came and parked out front for a while to talk through the window. I haven't seen them in person since March. We facetime but that's not nearly the same. It really hammered in how much things have changed. It was so good to see their sweet faces, even when it was sad to see them struggling with the masks. My older nephew has a new big tooth that I got to take pictures of from afar.

Low: Seeing my nephews. I was already really missing my brother who would have been so damn excited to be at my daughter's graduation. Even if it was a weird drive by event instead of what it should have been. He had been her educational cheerleader since birth. Not being able to hug my nephews. We are always hugs and snuggles and piggy back rides. My youngest nephew kept reaching for me through the window and just looking at me not understanding. They both called me Mama and asked for time together, asked me to take them to the playground we go to. After my brother died they of course continued calling their mom Mommy but I became Mama because I normally take care of them so much. It broke my heart to hear them calling for me like that and not be able to scoop them up and love on them.

[clementinefemme]

High - talking on the phone with my aunt while taking a walk around the neighborhood

Low - running out of time to do all the chores I had on my to do list for today

[Kenna]

High: my day with friends.
And on my way home, thinking how much I'm enjoying everyone's Christmas lights much more than I've enjoyed in the past (hard to explain but it's related to grief in previous years)

Low: stressed out about my upcoming spine surgery to fuse my lumbar and remove/clean up 2 disks. Last year I had a bad reaction to anesthesia. Makes me scared now.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

High: Hanging my new set of Nightmare Before Christmas ornaments on the Christmas tree and watching Christmas shows with my boy.

Low: Lying in bed, bored, coughing, wondering when will I ever be over this nasty virus?

[deb0670]

High so far today ... coffee
low... cold weather making the owies more owies

[GeorgiaMa'am]

High - I'm am definitely better, and barely even coughing any more. My arthritis isn't as bad either.

Low - Being reminded that I can't be everything I want to be.

[Soft*Silver]

High: going to a food pantry and bringing back holiday groceries for some of my very low income senior and disabled residents. I couldn’t believe how much they gave them! And they gave them grocery store gift certificates, and blankets! I almost cried…

Low: I’m trying my best to get gloves for some of my residents before the snow hits. Doesn’t look like I’m gonna be able to until after Christmas. Right now some of them are using mismatched gloves or they only have one glove. Sickens me the disparity I see daily on my job.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

High: Sunny outside and no rain for our trip to the vet today.

Low: Listening to Brittany moan and groan miserably because her injection spots hurt.

[Orema]

High: End-of-year purge of file cabinet papers/documents. Boxed up things to be tossed out on the 1st.

Low: Looking for a condolence card for my bestie and her family.

[Kätzchen]

High: a crown on my front tooth broke yesterday and my regular dentist was able to repair it today.

Low: My regular dentist said the crown actually needs to be replaced and to go to the Doctor who originally fixed it 6 years ago and have him redo the crown. I don't have money trees in my proverbial back yard, so I'm saddened by the fact I don't have money trees to get the crown fixed on my front tooth.


* I need a financial miracle *

[Bèsame*]

High..got off work early. Got a car warsh. Making Christmas eve dinner, prime rib. Smells simply wonderful over here. Made welfare check to the cold country. Always a chuckle there.

Low...found a nail in my rear driver tire.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

High - Watching the boy and the boi and Brittany open their Christmas presents.

Low - Cooking. I mean, I planned to cook, but I should have planned differently.

[Gemme]

High: I got tons of really good sleep last night.
Low: I slept half the day away and had absolutely zero motivation to do anything once it got dark.

[Orema]

High: Getting my blood test results for my physical tomorrow. My numbers weren’t nearly as bad as I thought they’d be after some of the rich food I’ve been eating.

Low: Rolling out the trash in all that damn snow. You wouldn’t believe how I have to bundle up to take out the trash and get the mail. Thank goodness for my snow cleats.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

High: Seeing my grandnephew be danced around the living room by my sister and our Mom.

Low: Nothing really. (Knock on wood)

[ksrainbow]

High: Getting a $237.00 end of the year report/credit on my grocery/gas expenses-
Low: The above high was downgraded to a low of: 50% credit to be used by 1/10/23 on food and 50% credit to be used on gas by 1/10/23-

In the state of Kansas our food tax drops from 6.5% to 4% on 1/1/23! I will wait :)

[GeorgiaMa'am]

High - A nice chat with my sister. It has been more and more difficult to get time with her ever since she got that grandbaby.

Low - I made a pesto zucchini shrimp dish for dinner that SOUNDED really good, but turned out to be just meh. Waste of time, I should have ordered delivery.

[akiza]

High : it's raining and it's a new year
Low: i can't blast my playlist all arounf the place 😒🤦🏻‍♀️😅

[Bèsame*]

High...filling out forms to volunteer with the local schools. I've always wanted to mentor but thought I couldn't give that much time. This program, 2 lunches month.

Low...Raiders, Rams lost and the local team won. Blah

[GeorgiaMa'am]

High - I paid bills today, and I had just enough to pay off all my December Christmas charges, so I'm not carrying those on my balances!

Low - Because I paid off all my bills, it's going to be a tight month around here. But it will be worth it.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

High #1 - I got a haircut and I look great. I got two compliments on it from strangers out in public.

High #2 - I got my car detailed and I love riding around in a newly cleaned car.

Low - I forgot until too late that I had to wash laundry before I go see my family tomorrow, so I am up too late dealing with that. Fortunately, I was able to enlist the boy's help.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

High - getting to see and visit with the whole family in person.

Low - getting stranded in Podunk, Georgia for several hours because my car's Check Engine light came on. Actually, I was lucky to get someone to help me as quickly as I did, on a holiday weekend.

[Bèsame*]

low.. so cold here. I know it's not nearly as cold as most of you. But,
I hate having to wear sooo many clothes!

High....I got a heart emoji. Its baby steps and patience.

[akiza]

So high talking with chockie
Low i hate waiting i hate stressing situations and that's what I'm dealing with putain

[Bèsame*]

My high was my reaction when I stepped on the scale this morning! Down 9 pounds since Christmas! Awesome! This is week two, where I gave up sweets. It's hard, especially, since I'm torturing myself by watching the Spring Baking Championship on Food Network.

Low, the weather is changing, not in my favor for Saturday. Friends and I are planning a ferry ride across Tampa bay. So, a sprinkle here and there will not ruin a good time. Have to remember, February showers will bring Spring flowers! ( kinda sorta mixed up, but you get the picture! Lol)

[Kätzchen]

High: it’s hard to feel positive right now… I’m still stunned and filled with deep disappointment and feelings of despair over the future for us all over the next few years.

Low: see my comments above.

(w)(w)(w)

[GeorgiaMa'am]

High #1 - My kidney doctor says my symptoms are getting better. You can't heal chronic kidney disease, but my acute kidney disease symptoms are going away!

High #2 - Talked to my cousin that I haven't heard from in like a year. Hopefully she will be joining us for Christmas dinner this year! She hasn't been able to in several years.

Low - Brittany got sick on the carpet.

[easygoingfemme]

High: My co-worker busting into my office and performing Ray gun Australian Olympic breakdancing moves on the floor.

Low: A call from assisted living that my father fell again. He's okay but it's one step closer to nursing home and I hate that for him.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

High: An unexpected but welcome kiss.

Low: Knee pain that won't quit, even with the heavy duty drugs.

[clay]

HIGH: Got new glasses & sight is getting much better.
Got new hearing aids....watch out around me....:)

LOW Had to return to wound care Wednesday, my leg area of healed wound got really hot & angry looking. On 7 days of antibiotic again/ I see surgeon this next week.

[Bèsame*]

High..
Discharged from the hospital. I feel so much better. As good as one can after having abdominal surgery.

Low...
Came home with a touch of bronchitis from the anesthesia. And let's throw in a UTI. Not fun.

[Bèsame*]

Low...on of the Ladies I work with passed away.

High....made homemade cupcakes for another co worker who is retiring. He has helped me with all the strange requests I've gotten from customers.

Wedding cake cupcakes with coconut butter cream frosting. They were a hit!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

low - Braves lost to the Padres

high - dinner was exceptionally good

[kittygrrl]

High - a perfectly made cappuccino

low - my boss calling me a 'buddy' (in his dreams):badmood:

[firecat242]

High: Got my cats ultra sound scheduled

Low: Now I have to face leaving her at the vets.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

HIGH: I finally got Medicare!

Low: It costs $100 more than the insurance I got through Obamacare, and doesn't include prescription medications.

[Kätzchen]

High: I slept in until I felt like I got enough rest.

High: it’s only 1:27 pm, I’ve only been up for a couple of hours.

Low: I still can’t read much of what’s going on in our country. I feel a huge betrayal by our justice system letting the orange weasel off the hook and not holding that person and his cohorts accountable. How could so much poison be among the body of law makers??? How can it be that poisonous toxic behavior is acceptable and not challenged in our country? That’s my daily
“Low”. I can’t read much of it due to my literal heart condition. I feel my heart flooding and tremendous pressure in my chest and back when I try to read the news. Rage is what I feel for those who are ruining our country with their toxic brand of hate. :(

[GeorgiaMa'am]

HIGH: Braves beat the Phillies 7 -5!!!

LOW: My washing machine seems to be broken, and nothing I could find on YouTube could fix it. Had to call the repair guy, which will be a minimum of $95.

[Kätzchen]

High: got three pairs of new shoes I ordered from a Wyoming shoe business specializing in footwear for those of us with foot pain in our meta-tarsal region. Orthopedic doctor and podiatrist recommended shoes.
(www.hike-footwear.com)

High: I just made reservations for my vacation, in October, at the coast. I’m taking my long time best friend with me, my sister-in-law. We’ve been friends since we were in high school, more than 50 years. :stillheart:

Low: it’s not October yet.

[easygoingfemme]

High: I got my closing date for my home! This coming Monday, I will own my home.

High: A good friend is in town today reffing a soccer thing and we're getting together after for a bite to eat and catch up.

Low: Too many frustrating meetings.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

HIGH: My nephrology nurse practitioner (NP) says my kidneys are doing great. Possibly even a little better!

LOW: I'm losing my NP (she's moving to England) and I'm going to have to get a new nephrologist. And I just got the NP broken in!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

HIGH: I got a present in the mail today from my sister! And there wasn't even a special occasion. She sent me a set of celestial-themed coffee cups (they match my bedroom) and a one-year supply of coffee! We were bemoaning the Colombian and Costa Rican coffee tariffs the other day, so she just decided to send me a supply! She's the best!

LOW: The chicken and rice I made for dinner turned out a little soupy, but otherwise it was fine. The tomato I ate today was not as crisp as I like, but it was still delicious. There was a 2 hour and 45 minute rain delay in the Braves / Phillies game, but they're finishing it now. Really, I have nothing to complain about.

[Bèsame*]

Low....I have to pay taxes.

High....my credit score has gone up in the last two months. I'm inches away from a perfect score. Even with all the medical bills I've had this past year. I'm quite proud of myself! ,( all paid)

[Kätzchen]

Low: the vacuum I’ve had for a while, it died. I’m lucky it didn’t do some crazy electrical thing.

High: well, not a high per se, but I’m glad I could go buy another vacuum and that it wasn’t too too expensive. I’m grateful it was at a price I could afford.


High: this was such a nice surprise…. While buying the vacuum I came across hepa filters for my air purifier. Not quite the same size, but it works out ok. I saved some money finding it at Lowe’s.

Low: I worry that life’s challenges will take a huge toll on me now. I just barely feel like I’m getting somewhere, yet it feels like what I can do will be never enough. :(

[GeorgiaMa'am]

HIGH: I met Art today, who is a genuinely nice guy and a great plumber. He did some roto-rootering for me and installed TWO kitchen faucets, and only charged me for one installation. He also found me a great deal on a new faucet from Home Depot, and went to pick it up, and did not charge me for the time he spent doing that.

LOW: The first faucet Art installed for me today was old, and had deteriorated gaskets. It spewed water everywhere. I had salvaged it from my Dad's stockpile of thingamabobs. It was still in its new package, but it was just past its expiration.

[kittygrrl]

:chocolate:

[GeorgiaMa'am]

HIGH - I threw out three whole garbage bags of junk that was under my kitchen sink, which I have been wanting to get around to for a long time.

LOW - I couldn't sleep last night at all, and I finally gave up and got out of bed at 9 a.m.

[easygoingfemme]

Yesterday:

Low: Making breakfast. Scrambled eggs and some cut up fruit. Realizing halfway through slicing my banana that I was dropping the banana into the bowl that contained the already cracked eggs.

High: Realizing I'm fortunate to have more eggs and bananas.

Low: Realizing that I lost a few boxes of board games in my move.

High: Making a scavenger hunt out of buying board games off of folks on facebook marketplace.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

HIGH: Discovering that, since Art worked on my faucet and drain pipe, the water pressure in my house has increased dramatically.

LOW: Nothing really. I can't complain.

[Kätzchen]

Low: a crown broke yesterday, today the rest of it fell off. Crowns are very expensive. :(

High: came across an old country song I haven’t heard since years ago.

7AMJe4TwH8E?feature=shared

[easygoingfemme]

High: Wonderful potluck dinner and game night at my house with three friends. Food was great and games were fun. Now I have still have Billie Holiday on the record player while I clean up and smile.

Low: I'm still very overwhelmed with work and am rather not looking forward to going back in the morning. I thought I would get more done over the weekend. I worked a lot but this writing policies and procedures is slow and grueling and I didn't get as much done as I hoped.
