Good news:
Finding out that your landlord doesn't want to sell his house, so you can rent it for another year.

Bad news:
Going to the doctor for a cold sore and being told that you have herpes. I thought that might be a communication problem, but some checking on the web confirms that cold sores are a kind of herpes. Also a warning to 90% of you that you probably also have this unfortunately-named virus swirling around in your system.

I think that scared Tim (my boyfriend of 6 years), but it's impossible that this is something new.
