Just one thing! 19th September

[randomling]

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!

Cake! (and cleaned up the mess from making it, which is actually the bigger accomplishment for me ;p )

[shanaqui]

Mmm, cake. And yay for you cleaning up!

[shanaqui]

I used positive coping mechanisms to deal with my case of the fidgets.

[kaberett]

I wrote my Thing for poetree, and it's not even supposed to be posted there until tomorrow!

(And I got my baby brother's laptop set up with a sensible operating system, finally. And I have applied for housing. FINGERS CROSSED.)

[alexseanchai]

Betaed kaberett's Thing for poetree! Signed up for rainbowfic!

[forestofglory]

Went to class.

[subluxate]

I wrote a long-ish chapter in the fic I can't believe I'm writing.

[subluxate]

Go you! That's excellent!

[subluxate]

Lots of stuff! Go you!

[subluxate]

Ooh, you joined rainbowfic? Welcome! (Speaking as a mod.)

[alexseanchai]

Did. I'm alexconall; joined under my original-writings identity.

[subluxate]

Oh, then I totally knew you joined! The mod account stuff comes to my email, so I was the one talking to you last night and posting in rainbowlounge.

I took a nap because I needed one, and fought off the feeling guilty about it.

[monksandbones]

I prepared for class tomorrow (I'm leading my first student discussion sections of the semester), and I've even decided what I'm going to wear.

Now I can proceed into the inevitable panicking-phase secure in the knowledge that I have things to make my students discuss.

[monksandbones]

Ooh, fic! Excellent!

[blossomdreams]

Survived the first weeks of school.

Didn't even get mad when my mom commented on my appearance.

Treated myself to a burger.

[lilysea]

Went to the Dr.

In an unrelated thing, coped with head-explodingly frustrating bureaucracy without yelling or swearing.

Checking my physical mail has unpleasant associations for me. It's associated with physical pain (the more conveniently located stairs are *stairs*, and the hill is steep), anxiety about what might be contained in the mail, and guilt for not checking it more often.

Tonight I looked at my step count, which was very slightly below my goal, and decided I could rack up a few more steps by just continuing down the hill to check my mail. Which I did.

The things I will do for step count.

I talked to my mentor, emailed my colleague, and got myself mentally ready to make a proposal to my boss. I also bit the bullet and paid for Office just so I could prep materials for my class that begins in a week.

[alwayswondered]

Well done!

[alwayswondered]

I hope you enjoyed every mouthful of that burger.

[alwayswondered]

Now that's some impressive coping right there. Well done you!

[alwayswondered]

I hope the proposal goes/went well!

[alwayswondered]

I passed the halfway mark on a huuuuuuge and very tedious task at work.

I downloaded a dating app and 'liked' someone. (This is incredibly adventurous stuff for me.)

[shanaqui]

Getting things done, woo!

[shanaqui]

That can be tough. Go you.

[shanaqui]

Go you! It'll be great.

[shanaqui]

I bet that burger was wonderful. And go you for surviving and not getting mad at people.

[shanaqui]

Go you!

[shanaqui]

Go you. That sounds like it was really hard. Maybe it will be easier next time?

[shanaqui]

Woo! Go you.

[shanaqui]

Ooh, well done on being adventurous. Trying something new is hard and that sounds particularly so. And go you for your progress on your work task!

[untonuggan]

I finally took some yarn off my spindle, wound it, and set the twist. Oh, and guess how many yards? 121. Woo!

Now I can actually spin some more, because that's my favorite spindle and it's been Too Full To Spin for awhile now.

[untonuggan]

Yay on both your things, boo that thing was head-explodingly frustrating. That is indeed super impressive coping!

[untonuggan]

*crosses fingers*

your Thing for poetree is lovely and made my morning. :D

[untonuggan]

*high five*

[fyreharper]

Eeeyay! Yarn!

[ofearthandstars]

:) I know that taking a nap as an accomplishment sounds silly, but I'm burnt out and I've been running myself into the ground with work...and I just... needed that time for my body to recoup. I usually wouldn't stop to do that because of All the Things.
