Best and worst this week. How's your week been?

Welcome to Best and Worst of the week, our Friday tradition here at Mamamia.

We all have different views on what makes our week a positive or negative one, but I believe that if you look back and can say you’ve had at least one heartfelt laugh, then it was a good week.

This week, I got lucky. I laughed so hard, tears were falling and my ‘abs’ were sore. I was giving my tenants the shits with my echoing cackle — but I couldn’t help it, it was that funny.

Here’s how the story went (with illustrations. You’re welcome.)

WORST:

So it all kicked off with my sister’s laziness.

We have this small bathroom. So tight and confined. If one product is left on the sink top, it feels like someone is blocking your way on the escalator when you’re in a desperate rush to make it to the soon-to-depart train.

So, as you could imagine, if my sister or myself leave something lying around, we get pretty mad at each other.

Our bathroom only has one power board, which is located as far away from the sink and mirror as possible. So when we’ve finished using our hair dryer and what not, they intercept the toilet.

Nothing annoys me more than when I am desperate for the loo but I have to venture through obstacles to get there (aka moving my sister’s straightener out of the way).

But when there’s a will, there’s a way!

SOLUTION: Buy a rack to place electrical devices in. Solved!

Yay, clear access to toilet=no obstacles=neat tidy sister=happy home=woo!

The little things can overjoy me.

This was the best idea.

Or so I thought — until THIS happened:

Oh, the irony. I tried to make it easier for my sister and me to use the toilet – no cords and no obstacles. But this neat little rack ended up being evil. Or maybe I knocked into the cord. Either way, the rack was a bad idea!

“Steph..!” I yelled in agony.

“Bye, Nat!” *Door slams.8=*

“Remorseless,” I muttered to myself, rubbing my spine.

BEST:

After the hair dryer incident, I thought I really ought to get rid of that evil rack. But I never did. I figured, “If it happened once, what are the odds of it happening again?” It was a silly vein of thought, really — but one I don’t regret because of the hearty laugh I got out of it last night.

I was sitting on the couch watching television when the phone rang. It was my sister Steph.

“Hey Nat.”

“Hey, what’s up?”

“That bloody hair dryer fell on my wrist and it’s bruised now!”

BOOM. Karma.

OMM: I’ve been having a few self-doubty thoughts like this lately: “When will I find my niche? Will I ever be good at anything?”

The best advice I give myself when I have those thoughts is this:

Let’s stop thinking in the future and start living in the moment. Let’s think about what we have that genuinely makes us happy and if something doesn’t make you happy, change it.

Do you agree?

Now, your turn. Let’s hear highlights and lowlights!

Natalie is from Canberra (unfortunately). But all good because she made her way to Melbourne and is now in her fourth year at RMIT studying Multimedia Systems in Design. She has a passion for writing, hence her being a Mamamia intern. She loves the team here :)
