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 am going to see my beloved today, after​ nearly ten months apart. So much has changed since then.

I'm delighted.
I'm terrified.

\o/! I hope the delight wins out in the end.

When things (in general) go horribly wrong, the place I want to be is in their arms. This is just stage fright.

[syntaxofthings]

I hear that. May the time until you see them go by much faster and bring you to their arms!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY

*sparklehearts everywhere*

[azurelunatic]

So, so many sparklehearts. My sister says that I have chosen wisely.

I went for a run!

I may have started a useful new habit - when I couldn't cope with the things that needed working on, I went for a walk around the block (which measures ~ 1200 steps). I felt relaxed, and I got to take a brain free break, and I was happier to get back to it. And I did it again later in the day. Plan - do this on any day that I'm supposed to be studying.

I got to see someone whom I dearly missed and have wanted to see in person since I embarked on my new reality.

Dealt with nervousness about a big trip by talking to a friend.

Didn't try to be a hero and carry all my luggage by myself without a cart. Avoided long lines.

Got through airport security with a minimum of fuss and bother.

Anticipated that the airline would ask people to gate check carry-ons; re-balanced my bags such that I could do just that.

Reunited myself with my beloved, after far too long.

Some gifts are pretty. Some gifts are useful. Some are both. *pleased*

Avoided the temptations of excessive parking, and took a little walk instead. Got some of the obligatory tourist pictures.

Introduced my sister and my partner. Had useful things to say about my sister's current significant other, and backed my partner up when they had slightly more pointed statements.

Good times with my partner.

Successfully pulled off a cheesecake-related surprise.

Shared a bed with my own best beloved, without anyone getting tangled up in CPAP hoses or elbowing each other in the face. This, indeed, is where I belong.
