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!

Good job!

Took math exam III.

Silently wept that we elected Marco Rubio AGAIN.

[fred_mouse]

Here's hoping the exam went well.

And commiserations on Marco Rubio (I admit, I don't know who he is, but I'm still willing to commiserate)

Did not check the US election result until I was certain it had been confirmed.

Sent an apology to all of my work colleagues.

[fred_mouse]

First one sounds like sensible self care.

Not sure about the second one? Unless it is not (as I have assumed) USA election related in which case, good on you for doing something that sucks.

Quality time with someone important, with some mildly unfortunate timing.

Retweeted a lot of cat pictures.

Toured a medical facility. Learned things for the novel. Took notes. Helped educate the facility people on handling people with non-standard genders better.

Made sensible decisions around a medical appointment.

Picked up a package that had way too much drama associated with the delivery.

Voted.

Dealt sensibly with the voting machine doing something unexpected.

Sought out someone local to share human contact with.

Went to bed around bedtime.

[fred_mouse]

That sounds like a full on day.

And good on you for voting. Did you get one of the voting machines that was reported on as switching to a different candidate repeatedly?

[azurelunatic]

I did not! It was the sort of error than any similar system could have, where it stopped being able to talk to the receipt printer and started beeping very loudly for attention. Percussive maintenance was employed. It started being able to talk to the receipt printer again, and I verified my vote and submitted it.

[fred_mouse]

I am amused about the percussive maintenance! Less so about it being required though.

Ballot had been deposited on time.

Reminded the guardians in my Story Time of their civic duty.
