It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly 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. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Go!

That was one of the most civil breakups I've ever had.

Everyone is okay. Everyone is still talking. Everyone is still friends.

Still not easy.

[cosmolinguist]

I'm glad things have gone as well as possible. Sending good thoughts for how not-easy everything is.

[azurelunatic]

Thank you, and if they knew you were saying this, I'm sure they'd thank you too.

[sathari]

Civil breakups are an accomplishment indeed! Echoing the good thoughts for the not-easy.

[azurelunatic]

Thank you.

With the way we have been communicating, it was natural that it should happen this way. But it is not easy.

Survived the worst public transport ever to be with someone I love who needed company.

[azurelunatic]

Alas for terrible public transit!

[lilysea]

Wow, good on you for surviving terrible transport

and for being company when needed. ^_^

Washed some towels.

Fed SO gourmet pizza and cute animal videos and was otherwise supportive when their depression was giving them a hard time.

Got into bed by midnight, instead of 1am or 1:30 (getting myself into bed on time is SO HARD.)

[sathari]

Go you! All hard things!

[cosmolinguist]

Pizza and cute videos seem an excellent way to help. :)

And yes, getting to bed on time is way more difficult than it should be!

[sathari]

Finished two stories, started another one. Exercised. Have (continued to) not jump into a particular temptation to fannish wankery.

[cosmolinguist]

Many achievements there! Go you.

Reaffirmed my commitment to getting professional outside help before making giant decisions with my life. Wish they would call back already.

Accomplished much in the world of outdoor chores.

Am trying not to berate myself or be harsh with myself over major decisions that are hard, even though every brainweasel I have in my brain is screaming at me that I'm a failure at adult life for not being able to handle the easy stuff.

[azurelunatic]

Good luck with the help.

Good luck with the brainweasels. Major decisions are hard. And, can I just say from personal experience in event planning, decision fatigue is a real thing and it *sucks*. All the little things take on a weird importance when you know that if you get just one thing wrong, it could potentially be the one detail that makes your conference suck instead of rock.

It takes experience to sort out the unimportant details from the important details, and sometimes the small details turn out to be super important, which is why inexperience is such a special hell.


Anyway, good luck.

Went to Witley Court to eat a picnic in the sunshine & listen to jazz.

[azurelunatic]

That sounds properly delightful!
