Positive vs Negative

I am having one of those days where there have been both positives and negatives throughout my day. It seems like a constant struggle between these two. It's like on one shoulder I have an angel and the other is the devil. Good always beats the bad, but there are times when I wonder how much bad I can take in one day, one week, one month, etc. Here's what's been going on in my life today:

Negative:

*I am PMSing big time and therefore I am emotional. It seems I take one step forward, one back. Laura gave me a very nice birthday card that seemed to bring back all the sadness I was feeling. It really was a nice card, and the part that made me cry was when she said, "we are blessed you are here."

*I still feel kind of bad from this cold. I did not take any cough medicine last night and I was reminded of that when I woke up every 2 hours cause I was coughing.

*The "newness" of my job is officially over. I am suppose to get off work at 5pm, but 45 minutes before I was to leave I was informed that there were NO techs to work on the women's/children until. We did finally find someone that came in, but I had to work until almost 6pm. I loved being salaried except on days like this.

*Sophie dog is convinced that the fly that is in the house is after her. She won't leave my side and is shaking like a big baby. It's not good when she is a nervous wreck and I am an emotional wreck.

*I got word that one of my Uncles died. He died a week ago and no one in my family had told me. There is a service this weekend and I am debating about whether I should go.

Positive:

*After a long and stressful day, it's still good coming home to MY home.

*Even though I am not going to the gym I continue to lose weight. I really need to go shopping for new clothes. All my old work clothes literally hang on me. I love it and hate it at the same time.

*My birthday is next Tuesday and I know I will get birthday cake. I have decided that even if there is no one that goes and buys me a cake I will go get one for myself dammit. :)

*The pools open next weekend. Can you say tanning Queen?

*I love how Sophie dog gets so excited when she sees me when I come home each night. It really lights up my heart.

*I called today and got an estimate for a moving company to move all my big items and it's not going to cost me as much as I thought.

*Even though today was stressful at work, it felt great being able to come up with a solution and my boss looking at me like, "this is why we hired you."

*I get to finally meet Not So Pregnant on Friday when she comes to town with her son. This is someone that I came across her blog randomly one day and when Laura left me she stepped up to the plate and showed me what being a friend is really about. She has listened to me and my pity parties more then any person should have to. When I think about the last two months, she is the good that has come out of all of this.

*I came up with more positives then negatives
