Calvin & Hobbes is a source of endless wisdom and joy
I have too many things stressing me out to pick only one... lol
What a great thread idea, Missy! Thank you for starting it!
1. My big presentation today to company execs. It will be 1 1/2 hours long and I HATE public speaking!!! I only slept a few hours last night because of nerves so now I'm doubly nervous that I won't be as sharp as I should be.
2. It's FRIDAY and I'm only six hours away from being done with this monster presentation, so there's that to look forward to, haha!!!
@mrs-b (((Hugs))). Life is not easy. From my perspective you’re meeting all challenges and conquering them. Sending you buckets of good wishes and wishing you good health. XO.
1. One of my hardest working staff quit the day after cashing the bonus check. Wants more opportunities. I thought we were giving those here, plus a promotion and a nice bonus.
2. Nothing yet for joy category. But the day us still young and I might get lucky.
Stress: the GFCI plug in the garage went out again so the garage freezer and refrigerator are plugged into a cord running into the laundry room. Thank goodness it has been below freezing and my stuff didn't thaw.
Joy: I am having lunch with my bestie today.
Stress: My weight, despite my efforts it does not want to budge, I'm trying IF again to try to get it down.
Joy: Belated Celebration of DH's 40th birthday tomorrow night with a couple of friends. We are doing an escape room and then going to hibachi which I am super excited about because my kids have never been and will probably find it very fun.
Stress - DH's job, ALWAYS
Joy - gratitude for the big things (family, health, necessities) and the small things (a perfect cup of coffee, snuggling with my pups, etc.)
stress: well that would be my mom....she got very ill in October and has been in and out of the hospital and nursing homes since...she is currently with my sister, she has dementia and is starting to decline, I feel a tremendous amount of stress and guilt over the situation
joy: its friday and I am about to crack open a bottle of wine

Hi @redwood66 I don't think it is a good idea to plug your fridge/freezer into a GFCI plug because they are too sensitive to voltage interruptions. Maybe plug it into a non GFCI plug. Just change your receptacle. For less than 5$ you can fix your problem.
Enjoy lunch with your bestie today!
@missy I hope they can find and fix your roof problem.
Stress...health. Slowly recovering from a rough year health wise.
Joy...Dear daughter coming tomorrow for the weekend. Waiting on a project so, bling anticipation
I love reading these responses! @mrs-b Especially yours...My husband and I often discuss where should we end up. Ironically, I am in Westchester Co. Not a good choice for retirement.
