Best day/worst day: truth with a pinch of melodrama

Ok, hi. This post's title is a partial reference to John Green's book, Looking For Alaska. In it, a very troubled/bright/vibrant/funny/self-destructive girl (Alaska) convinces her high school boarding school friends to play a drinking game called "Best day/Worst day". Alaska gets to judge. No more spoilers. Read the book.

So today was a mini best day/worst day for me:

Best Day

1. Got praised at work; got free (good) lunch at work; new friend at work.
2. Got an ideal library volunteering gig set up for myself--I'm excited.
3. Got asked to run for office in SIS--Suncoast Information Specialists--excited for that, too.

Worst Day

My favorite cat Pied (as in the Pied Piper) died. She was 18, and healthy/playful/sweet until the very end. As in, she was sweet today. I miss her already, but it's a small comfort to know she was old, mostly healthy & happy.
