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!

Cleaned, a lot. I did the whole bathroom, pretty much. Stopped cleaning, recognized that I was avoiding listening to my brain, and made myself take a rest. I'm glad I got done what I got done and I'm glad that I'm trying for more balance.

[cosmolinguist]

All good stuff! I find both cleaning and resting hard, so I appreciate the achievement here. :)

Helped my husband help his sister with her PIP application. Over the phone.

*so exhausted now*
*might need whisky*

You did awesome. Paperwork + phone + family + whisper-chain of communication = wow, that was a thing. Reeeeeelaaaax.

Made snickerdoodles.

[cosmolinguist]

Ooh I haven't had a snickerdoodle in a long time! Want one now. :)

[alatefeline]

WANT. Good job you.

Loved on my cat. Exercised. Kept up with comments. In a way that judging from replies was at least adequately actually-listening/hearing/care-ful, even.

[alatefeline]

Yes yes yes. Loving on friends and kitties and self is a good good thing right now. Fuzzy fuzzy fuzzy.

FUZZY FUZZY FUZZY is a good self-care chant for the next few years for a lot of us, I think! Thanks!

*pets a fuzzy blanket and looks at a kitten livestream*

Yup.

Tried to catch up on back reading.

Got my phone fixed without panicking too badly.

The good thing about regular and robust communication is that even on days when there isn't much chatter, the good effects persist.

The thing I thought would be helpful was in fact helpful! ... at least, in itself, if not in ancillary effects.

Wrote!

Went to bed when I was tired.

Updated the escalation document to better serve my users, in light of the current political climate.

Got an appointment with a doctor, one that I've been chasing for a few months.

Dealt with my phone being a problem.

Talked politics with my bff. Nobody died.

Communicated about some of the nuances of Saturday's workshop.

[azurelunatic]

Stopped doing something when I noticed that it wasn't just uncomfortable, it hurt. Talked to someone when I realized that it was hurting more than it should, longer than it should.

Dealt with further phone problems with moderate grace.

Dealt with one of the phone problems by addressing a security problem. :D

Made it to a medical appointment, only a little late (and the reason for being late had to do with the reason for the appointment, so)!

Was taken seriously by the doctor.

Explained the state of things, as completely as I knew how to.

Picked up my prescription.

Ran errands.

Communicated.

Got my new prescription set up in my pill boxes.

Caught up on reading.

Holy sh*t you did LOTS of stressful impressive things.
