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!

I made the phone call to set up my Leave of Absence from work. The guy on the phone seemed a little confused I was setting it up to start next week, but the phrase unexpected surgery got through to him.

Finished up Lib Dem conference, traveled back up north for hours and hours on trains and trains.

I read a book with a kindergartener for whom that may have been the only pleasant one-on-one time of the day. I'm sad for him that he is so stressed and that I can't always be right by him when he could use help, but I'm glad that we've found one good solid thing that we can do pretty much every day to build his positive relationship to school and reading. (His favorites are the books like "Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus" where the listener gets to say "No" a lot.)

Hooray for surviving your travel! (Unless you're writing this as a zombie.)

Housework, and similar. Updating people on things.

Communication.

Adapting something I understand deeply in principle, to fit into an entirely different paradigm.

Poking allies and my morail about Possible Weird Stuff, just to make sure that there's a crew on hand if needed.

Rang medical receptionist

Emailed Dr

Rang medical receptionist *again* to say, no you passed on the message wrong the first time

Filled in Form Of Doom - it's only a double sided A4 page, but it had been causing me major Dread.

Went to Post Office, got mail.

Posted Form Of Doom.

Picked up dahl from Spice Shack.

Washed and ate blueberries.

Emailed OT-from-Hell to say "Any progress with arranging a home visit OT to deliver my new wheelchair cushion? Alternatively, a friend of mine could collect it from [hospital] on my behalf."

Avoided writing furious ranty email to dermatologist when she reneged on a prescription she'd promised in favour of lecturing me to lose weight.

Took out recycling.

Lay down and rested while listening to audiobook.

Did laundry.

Loaded dishwasher.

Heh. I did indeed survive!

School visit! Only a couple people dropped by, but that's okay.

And, also, I've collected a night to sleep to myself. Although it's complicated, I'm proud that I'm going to go through with it.

Pigeon books are great things. They might also enjoy the "Dinosaur vs." Books by Bob Shea.

[cosmolinguist]

An important thing to do. And good luck with the surgery.
