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!

Despite Nowhere Near Enough Sleep:

a) Poked food delivery place AGAIN about meal that was supposed to be delivered on Monday.
Managed to be civil when delivery bloke rocked up, despite how angry/hostile/rude he was to me on the phone yesterday

b) Left a comment on a Facebook group that was joking about being "triggered" by the colour scheme of dinosaur artwork:
"People, can we *please* not use the word triggered as a joke?
To be triggered is a serious experience, where someone with Post-traumatic stress disorder [which can be the result of military combat; sexual assault; or other extreme trauma] experiences flashbacks and other symptoms.

Come on, we're better than that..."

c) Phoned and emailed the local council about what appears to be an unlicensed home business repairing and selling cars out of a residential house... which parks cars all over the footpath, blocking wheelchair access and forcing wheelchair users out onto a busy road.

d) made a post to the Disability Wall of Shame about an ATM which had been configured to be inaccessible due to steel bollards

e) answered someone's questions on facebook about what non-wheelchair access issues exist

f) answered someone's questions on facebook about how to treat muscle pain, and how to get home-delivered over the counter medication

g) messaged someone on a freecycle type group to see if they wanted to pick up free frozen meals today, rather than waste food by tossing it out (can't eat due to too much chilli)

h) loaded dishwasher

i) set up internet banking

j) linked my bank account to paypal

k) despite the cold and windy weather, and being in pain which would be made worse by going out in it, went to the ATM, got cash out, and deposited it to my credit card (will be stuck at home the next 3+ days because of extreme weather, and therefore I had to do the banking today)

Got a bunch of prep work done before a telecon. Did two actions assigned to me as soon as the telecon was done, then dashed off and managed to get Eldest to her swimming lesson on time.

My goodness, that is an epic list. Well done! \o/

Went to the local library, and started on the process of updating my CV. I actually have two people to send it to, ASAP, so I kinda have to have it done.

I got maybe 5 hours of sleep last night but still managed to wake up early, a little after 7:30.
I ate an actual breakfast.
I'm leaving for Rocking For A Cure soon, it's a music festival.
I'm really excited. Today is going to be awesome.

Took care of myself.

Moved the car of a sleeping guest when it was parked in the way of a road repair crew.

Coped with the heat.

Had preferences and opinions!

Suggested a slightly early bedtime.

Good work on getting started!

[nanila]

Hurrah for all that! I hope it was, indeed, awesome.

Good work on self-care and keeping others from potentially panicky situations. \o/

It would have been absolutely ruinous for the guest if it had been towed; they were very much not in a position to absorb that kind of expense, and sometimes it damages the car, too.

Thanks! I hadn't realised just how much work writing a coherent CV is, as I've always just run off the bog standard one with names and dates, and apparently they don't work like that any more. Said bog standard one is fine when providing a CV is a formality (which is all I've ever had to do), but not when I'm near on cold calling.
