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 wrote the first five hundred words of a story poem.

[omnipotent]

That sounds fun! Well done!

[nanila]

Good work!

Patiently listened to my supervisor prattle on about Trump and basically make me think he's (supervisor) a complete Looney Tune, but managed to be civil and refrain from getting excessively emotional or heated.

Celebrated friend's birthday.

[nanila]

Aaaaaaargh. I'm sorry you had to put up with that. What a git.

YAY for celebrations.

An excellent day for hanging out with friends and playing games with friends.

Good, as well, for getting started on digitizing VHS tapes, which will eventually be Handbraked to a good size for DVD burning.

Hooray for a sociable and productive day!

Saw a need, and acted to help out, in a way that the person might not have thought to do for themselves.

Nice togetherness.

Was there for a friend who needed a spotter for something. Responded appropriately when it got Weirder Than Anticipated.

Good conversations about difficult topics. Did you know that it's possible to communicate about a very difficult and fraught topic without using the actual name for the thing, for Quite Some Time? APPARENTLY THIS IS POSSIBLE. While also being pretty dang specific in the communication. I am genuinely impressed with our verbal and mental gymnastics in being able to actually communicate without setting off all of the screaming issues ever.

Had a lovely dinner with friends.

(Pride for someone, in that they were able to check off one more thing on the list of "maybe this previously impossible thing is now do-able" list.)

[nanila]

Huzzah for all of the productive communication and the enabling of expression of tough concepts!

[azurelunatic]

There were still screaming issues, but the euphemisms make it possible to discuss calmly for some time before descending into incoherent gibbering.
