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!

Despite feeling badly Depressed all day:

took myself to my favourite cafe for breakfast

avoided biting the head off the 19 year old male cleaner on the train who said accusingly to me "you look like you're just about done" (subtext: you're female in public but not performing "smile!")

went to the chemist and had an indepth conversation about the best choices available for two different over the counter meds

met up with a friend - talked a bit about my problems, but also listened sympathetically/supportively to hers

went grocery shopping

went to the post office and got my mail and did banking

[nanila]

Wow. Well done for getting all that accomplished, especially while depressed. \o/

[sathari]

Whoa, that's epic! And FUCK the Smile Police.

[sathari]

Paperwork. Happened.

"Smile Police" Dyingggg

*applause* Well done!

I got *sleep*.

I didn't spoil a pleasant surprise that I am trying to make happen for someone, despite the temptation to do so.

I introduced my beloved Purple to a new-to-him place for dinner, and remembered to let a mutual friend know that we were doing dinner and he should come along.

I actually got some writing-for-me done.

Continued to entertain out-of-town friend who's spending her holiday with us. Today we found a vegan diner, went to the pub with friends, and she continued to educate me in the ways of Pokémon Go.

Sleep is the best!

Nice places for dinner, and good people to go there with, are next-best. :)

[azurelunatic]

Sleep is indeed the best.

Purple is indeed almost the next-best. ;)

(Purple is not my kissing boyfriend, and he knows the relative pecking order.)

[cosmolinguist]

Having people who know their place in the pecking order is also best. :)

Found the correct answer of "all real numbers" when the rest of the class thought the answer was "no solution".

[nanila]

Huzzah for sleep, keeping your powder dry, socialising and writing!

[nanila]

Huzzah for successful hosting, and for Pokéducation! :D

[nanila]

*fist-bump* for successful critical thinking.

Bug reported on a thing that wasn't broken, but was unclear.

Also successfully managed to ask in a polite way for a new feature to be added. Rather than waste energy into the far more satisfying rant that I would never deliver to the person higher up the good chain about went they should be entirely wrong on principle, even if they are likely right in practice.

[nanila]

Things that are not broken but are unclear are difficult to diagnose. Often the user tends to blame themselves for not understanding how to operate the thing. Well done for reporting it, and for asking for the new thing.

Glad you like it! The Smile Police annoy the heck out of me too!
