What is the best thing that could happen to you this week?
It should be within reasonable range, like e.g. you won't wake up as a Yedi or Superman tomorrow and world hunger won't be solved just in a few days, etc
It already happened on Monday. Found out the surgery was a success, and I'm now cancer free \o/
Congrats! That’s awesome and I’m glad you got through it :)
Congrats!
That's incredible, congratulations!
I'll start. The best thing that can happen to me this week is to successfully make plans that I am happy about for the weekend :)
My wife is interviewing for a job today. It would be a big deal if she got it, especially since she's been out of work for six months.
Considering they're en route to the hospital now, welcoming my very first nephew to the world would be a pretty awesome highlight
Congratulations!
Thanks! I'm so freaking excited! For them, for me, for my parents... lol!
My baby will be born! Hopefully tomorrow, but if not, then Saturday!
Glad to see people become fathers.
I can tell you something good that is happening this week. I got a job offer so I can quit the retail job I've been doing for 11 years.
Congrats! My partner is in a similar spot. He deeply wants to get out of retail but even so, he’s remiss to leave behind a decade+ of his time at this company. It’s oddly bittersweet (and it doesn’t help that the job search has been rough too).
A job offer. I work in software and it's tough out there this summer.
Same. Feels like employers refuse to hire anyone.
All my digestive problems could disappear. That'd be rad.
No more heartburn. No more constipation.
No more pencils
A reliable sleep schedule.
I've been having trouble with it for a LONG time. But last week I found that 2mg melatonin before bed makes me both fall asleep easier AND wake up in a better mood/less sleep inertia. I'm hoping it lasts.
Melatonin gives me some trippy ass dreams/night terrors
It HAS given me more dreams lately. Nothing bad. But I only had one nightmare as an adult. And it rarely shows up anyway.
Same. I had to stop because of them.
I also had issues sleeping. 50mg Trazodone. No more issues sleeping. I'm out for a solid 6 hours within 30 minutes of taking.
well I can't get that over the counter.
the only thing I learned in therapy that helped me was getting the correct dosage of melatonin. I use to think you would take more to sleep longer and deeper - turns out no. Need to take less.
I take 1mg now instead of 10 and it works amazing.
Oh interesting about the lack of sleep inertia! I’ve only tried melatonin once or twice but I had such heavy sleep inertia waking up. Glad you found something that works!
Win the lottery. A lot would be solved if I got a little bit more cash.
Are you even playing the lottery? VERY unlikely if you arent.
A couple of times per year for the heck of it.
I do it when I have $2.50 over that I won't be sad if I lost.
It won't hurt if I win and it won't really hurt if I do.
It's when you start to put in a lot of cash that it starts to hurt and $10 per year won't get me anywhere.
A layoff/but out package that would carry me to my retirement date.
One of y'all can have this job. I've been doing it for enough decades now.
nah thanks, I'll take the outpackage to retirement as well
I also choose this guy's retirement package.
I won't be forced to work 6 days again and actually a good 3 days off so I can recharge for once.
Already gonna happen - it's Father's Day here in Australia, and my little girl will be spoiling me with all the little gifts she got from the school Father's Day stall last week. And we're going to start the Clone Wars series together.
I have a flight to catch tomorrow and am currently running a fever of 103°F.
The best thing that could happen to me would be that I miraculously get better so I don't miss my flight.
Not gonna happen though. I'll just have to book another ticket for next week. That's the equivalent of 100 USD (300 USD on PPP basis) I'll never see again.
Finding a new apartment. My landlord just gave notice because they need the apartment for a family member and I need to find and move to a new place within three months.
Sucks big time cuz my current apartment is a pretty new building, quality flooring, bath, kitchen, tons of windows and very bright overall and I am paying way too little compared to similar apartments.
My daughter hit a deer last evening in her car and our insurance adjuster is due to be here within the hour to look at the damage and decide what to do.
My hope is that they’ll repair it and get it done quickly… she’s due to start her new job in less than a week and needs her car to get there… 🤞🏻
Wow. All the best luck to her
I successfully negotiate a wage appropriate to the work I'm doing as a co-op turned regular employee. Currently making a little over minimum, the national average for the work is 50/hr. Would be a massive boost to my life goals.
I receive an invite for a job interview. I'm so tired of trying to make my resume better and writing cover letters.
Wake up rested
Saturday, visiting Tijuana Mexico for first time. Driving down from San Diego.
Hoping for a nice safe visit.
Get a decent raise so that I can do more than just make ends meet and can stop delivering for DoorDash.
you won't wake up as a Yedi
What is that? Like a Yeti Jedi?
Master Hairy
It's a Jedi who makes some mean schnitzel
Lol, my bad. Apparently didn't know how to spell Jedi correctly
I got an invitation from the towns' mayor for my wife and me to attend a gala dinner. And yes, it is real.
The part I ordered to fix the dishwasher could come in, so we can finally start using it again after 2 weeks.
I'm doing alright, all things considered.
that my crush asks me out finally when I see them again on Saturday; or at least get closer to going out somewhere even just as friends.
Why wait for them to ask you?
for one, I want it to happen organically which means I've been trying to be outgoing every time I'm there and very patient lol
the big issue is they work in a dispensary. And I actually know them from the last dispensary they worked in. But that place was kinda shitty and they were on shift alone a lot but it was easier to flirt with them back then.
I'm a fool and should have asked back then but didn't for some reason. I think I was still stuck on it happening organically then too.
But now where they work, there's always other people there. There's only been a few times where I was able to talk to them when they were alone and I actually apologized to them recently for being super awkward every time we interact and they agreed they were also being that way lol
anyway, I've felt bad about this for awhile but I feel a lot better about it now that I've talked to them about our previous interactions and they always compliment me when I'm in there. so here's hoping something good happens Saturday.
Opening my email and have the work invitation I've been waiting on for nearly two months.
(before someone asks: I wasn't tricked or fooled. I did the interview, got the direct responsible for the hiring calling me and asking if I was interested, the whole deal. But I'm waiting for a formal invitation from a national agency, for which I'll be working as a private contractor; this implies a lot of beaurocracy and too many big wigs getting bothered to have a meeting to approve having things done.)
That the air will clear so I can spend the holiday weekend outside my house.
Possibly getting a job offer. I made it all they way to the final round, instructions mentioned a wait of at least three working days for the results.
I buy a lottery ticket once a month just for the fun of some cheap fantasies/dreams. A few years ago I won $2000. I wouldn't mind a repeat.
I could find £1,500 dropped in my lap to cover my ADHD treatment expenses. Literally all of them.
Or I can just continue to suffer until I'm eventually homeless, I guess, seeing as that's an amount of money I'll never see, because life is unfortunately cruel and hopeless.
What is the treatment for it?
My SSDI application could be approved.
die in my sleep
This is what I was looking for. Although any painless and instantaneous death would do.
Nothing planned, might drop some LSD or shrooms
A decent time in Saturday's race. Not a medal of anything, just nothing too embarrassing.
My mom's ex husband who just ran away from our business and their marriage drop dead
just about got into the college I wanted
get 8k€ to go on a technology shopping spree
Tomorrow morning's feast for the S2 Wheel of Time drop going well.
Yes, I'm excited too!
If I found or was given about 10k, my life would take a pretty nice turn towards being able to stop relying on my parents when a crisis happens.
My wife's car has a blown headgasket, and we were quoted by 2 mechanics that it'd be about 5k to fix since the engine overheated for a long period of time (sensors didn't tell us it was overheating) and needs to be replaced. This is dumb since I still owe about 5k on the car it's self so I'd probably just pay the car off to get out from under it and use the other 5k to find a better more reliable vehicle. Man, that shit would be nice.
@u202307011927 @asklemmy Well it not only could happen but is happening. I'm babysitting my nieces this weekend. (I'm their favorite aunt :sipcat: )
Blowjob from an angel I’d say
