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 finally got my DBS request submitted. It's only taken a year...

Congratulations on getting a difficult thing dealt with!

Picked up the slack on a thing someone else was going to do and then didn't. Felt good to be useful, on a day when I'm mostly feeling too tired to do anything.

Congratulations on doing something that needed doing, and feeling good about being useful.

Got my car fixed. Despite the world conspiring against this.

1. Managed to make it to my physiotherapy appointment on time by 12:40, even though I slept through ALL my alarms (one every 5 minutes between 10:20am and 11am) and only woke up at 11:36am.

2. Successfully defended myself face-to-face to the practice manager at my dental clinic.

My dentist apparently had (without talking to me first) cancelled my upcoming appointment with him, and suggested to the practice manager that I should be fired from the dental clinic as a patient due to [long string of totally inaccurate accusations.]

The practice manager is going to put me in with another dentist at the same clinic.

This is very important, as wheelchair accessible dentists are very hard to come by, and also this dental practice is preferred by my private health insurance, so it's hundreds of dollars per visit cheaper than other dentists.

3. Stopped at the post office and picked up all my mail.

4. Got a construction worker to pick up three large pieces of jagged broken bricks that they had left at the bottom of a curb cut and gone away and forgotten all about. (I had to fetch them from inside their demountable office.)

The pieces of brick were in a position to cause serious damage to powerchair wheels, and pain to powerchair users. (and also a trip hazard for non-wheelchair users.)

Stayed calm through the resolution of a work-related crisis.

Thought far enough ahead to make it easier on myself to accomplish social tasks.
