good news, good news

 My mind wants me to stressed because of current life events but the medication is actively fighting on my behalf. So many more good things happened today.

Yeah, my submission lead gave me a bit of 'we expect this from our internal staff' speech, but what do I care. I can relish in the fact that she's stressed about the submission as the lead. 

Then I thought about another project that is running that looked like it had a small fire early this a.m. But the early meeting was just to say ....no fire yet, but the silence is ominous.

Oh well. I hope I can shake this all off before my trip tomorrow. 

I don't really agree with my lead but grrr. I'm trying not to be stressed. In the end, the solution will just be a copy and paste. 

In better news...

- I got a massage... I don't really see the point. I would've been mad if I'd spent $150 of my own money on that. Luckily, it was a gift card. I think cookies make me happier. Just have to remember.

- I had a nice day yesterday.

Chase is still stressing me out but to counter that, I'm going to go ahead and book my Sydney hotel today. I'm kind of over them. I could almost taste those 5 free night certificates. But no-anxiety monster...there will be other awards.

So ends my card chasing for this year. I always seem to start the year off hot, get burned, then cool down. 

I realized I was churning so many direct deposits, I ran out of room on my payroll. Whoops! Good indicator this needs to stop.

I'm not looking forward to work drama upon my return, but at least it'll keep me busy for the rest of the project time. 

I think the team is taking this long time frame too carelessly and just having review after review. Trying not to take things personally. Glad I waited to start my document when the document before was closer to be done because they were still making changes when I started. 

But I totally lowballed my bonus so it was a nice surprise to get more than I thought! Yippee!!!

I got a 3% raise and I don't have to worry anymore about work performance. 

And technically this is anxiety lessening news - Progressive randomly left me a voicemail that we're accepting 100% responsibility for the accident. Since I was getting tired of paying my car note, I was rethinking getting a lawyer. Now that does not seem like a worthy hill to climb. If I can't even handle the run-around for a credit card bonus.

Feelings. 

But other than that it feels like a pretty good day. I'm sooo close to getting to my number I can taste it. Oh well.

I need to plan for Mt. Rushmore too. Will try not to travel hack and just use any earned bonus churning money. 

Yay, belated Bonus Day! Yay, birthday. Wow, this is my life. :)
