awesomeers | Just one thing!

randomling posting in

I have declared that is too hot for any of the things.

It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing that you've accomplished in the past twenty-four hours. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you’re feeling accomplished!

Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange, or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened.

Go!

Spent time with five little girls under the age of thirteen and their mom! And I'm spending the next two days with them!

Listened to someone on gmail chat.

Spent face to face time with a friend and listened to her.

Went to two home-opens with my boyfriend. Told him to take a deep breath and think about his cat when he got stressed.

Spent time looking at real estate websites and making calls about more home-opens.

Bought some new pants. Kept my internal angst about clothes and weight and the way things fit to a bare minimum.

Scraped together a work presentation on Boss' request in two days. Presented it. Said "uh" a few times but not too bad, I don't think.

Did not melt in the heat.

I drew a picture, for the first time in months!

Also I went in to work despite feeling a bit crap and getting out of the house made me feel better.

I did awesome cool things at work. That were not my originally assigned tasks but abruptly became them. Without *completely* losing my equilibrium.

I turned my article into a continuous document again after deleting a bunch of pages out of the middle on Monday. It still hasn't come together the way I want it to, but I think it's reached the point where the best way to improve it further goes through a reviewer, and I have a lot of other things to do this summer, so.

I managed to have a pleasant evening despite lady bits, aaargh.

Yay for volunteering!

I should probably think about giving this advice to my boyfriend too!

From:

It really helped! ^_^

He loves his cat, and his cat relaxes him and makes him smile, so I said

"Think about [cats name] and behaviour [cat does]" and just kept naming cat behaviours until I ran out and he relaxed and started smiling slightly.

I did ANOTHER load of laundry yesterday! And I'm keeping things moving with the insurance company after my motorbike accident even though the whole thing is a massive pain in the behind.

I also talked myself down from an emotional ledge RE a friendship that's going through a weird patch, which was not easy!

From:

I did not lose my cool when dad mentioned how he took (far) too much care of me when I was little and was merely just jealous of my sisters when he ceased to do so once they were born.
I did not point out he'd ceased at all if my sisters weren't present, which would have been useless, and steered the conversation away from the subject.

Neither did I throw the nearby pitcher of water to his head when he started to conflate Islam and terrorists (while joyfully ignoring the equally abundant but less news-worthy local non-muslim fundamentalists) along with more sexist nonsense. I WANTED TO SO BAD.
