awesomeersIt'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!

Date: 2017-02-28 02:35 pm (UTC)Learned how bad a specific situation actually was (from two perspectives), giving context to a decision someone had made in the moment.
Confessed a specific thing that I had been struggling with, much to the surprise of the other party.
Rescheduled an appointment.
Asked for a more specific communication framework around indefinite delays to planned events: instead of an estimate and an update when the situation resolves (even if it doesn't match the estimate), I would like a specific time (clock time or duration) for the next check-in. Kudos to
Talked about calendar sharing.
Talked about some of the physical signs of a thought process. I fiddle with the jewelry I am wearing a lot. If an item is symbolic, I sometimes use its position as a marker of my thought process. An item being taken off and left on my keyboard when I am angry means I need some distance. An item being taken off and put away in the appropriate box means much more distance is needed. An item being flung as a projectile in a physical altercation means very, very bad things. This time, the jewelry stayed on me, modulo the usual fiddling.
Retrieved some packages.
Checked in with my BFF. At least someone was able to see the funny side of things, even if none of the rest of us can yet.
Communication about changes in status of a planned date. Spent "quality" time with my partner while my body reacted miserably to a previous poor decision of mine, and they spent a peaceful evening chatting with me and other friends. It was so much better than enduring the evening alone, even though it was not the planned date.
Made an experimental decision to improve my comfort during the above. Learned that transvaginal liquid capsule ibuprofen is effective, but also a significant irritant, and I should only do that if the irritation would be less than taking it the traditional way. Oops.
Communication with my partner. I can be angry and scared, and then figure out how to make subsequent things better, get more context, and forgive them. Especially since what I was forgiving turned out to be an error in scheduling (immediately forgiven) and then insufficient communication (rather than a disagreement in priority, which would have been a harder conversation).
