Good news/bad news

Bad news first: I stayed up past 2:00 playing a game, layering a poor night of sleep upon several poor nights of sleep, and now everything is awful.

Good news: I made eggnog last night and it tastes pretty decent.

Bad news: It literally took me over 2 hours to separate eggs, whip yolks, whip whites, and mix things. I think part of why I stayed up was that I was revenge-night owling

Good news: My sandwich bread is mold-free despite being very old.

Bad news: Man, I'm tired.

Good news: I have coffee.

Bad news: Coffee doesn't do shit.

Good news: It's a slow day in the office.

Bad news: I didn't do a task that was due Friday and it's not like it's gonna be undue this morning.

Good news: Who cares? It's Christmas week.

Bad news: They do. It's for a regulatory filing.

Good news: The deadline they gave is probably more for practical vacation-related concerns. Your contribution will probably be fine.

Bad news: And yet you worry about it.

Good news: It'll be over soon, either way.

Bad news: That doesn't mean you'll get it done. How many times have you just allowed deadlines to lapse without taking any action, in just the last six months?

Good news: I'm still here. I'm still kicking.

Bad news: You feel terrible about it though.

Good news: Yes, but I'm also writing a little.
