Just One Thing (07 September 2017)

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 made coffee!

[nanila]

Mmmmm, coffee. Well done you!

[alatefeline]

It got me through the work day!

Dragged myself out of the house despite feeling REALLY tired and I DON'T WANNA.

Got a hot chocolate and banana bread.

Explained my complex, lengthy needs to dental nurse and dentist.

Asserted myself politely but firmly to dentist, practice manager etc several times to get my needs met.

Post Office for mail.

Multiple telephone calls to arrange home visit doctor.

Communicated to home visit doctor.

Laundry.

Well done for getting through it all.

Hot chocolate and banana bread sound richly deserved!

Made progress on the Massive Document Update that falls due at the end of October.

Provided some very carefully phrased/slightly scary feedback on something to Important People, which was surprisingly well received.

Asserted my desire to attend a European meeting next month in person, and was granted permission to do so.

Nervously prepared to hunker down (changed my mind about evacuating--the folks in Broward and Miami-Dade need to do that more than I do, and the highways are already gridlocked).

Asked my useless landlady if she wanted me to board the windows. Have yet to receive a response. Assuming they may be blown out, so planning to take anything of value (so most electronics and jewelry) with me to go stay with my family.

Assuming I don't come back to a condo full of glass (it's unlikely but yeah), have decided once and for all I will be moving in December, as I'm tired of dealing with my landlady's bullshit plus neighbors' bullshit.

Good luck.

Best wishes for weathering the storm, and for finding a much better place to live come December.

I signed the last documents today so that I can be fully free of the abusive ex.

...and spend the next decade paying back that freedom to the entities that have given it to me on credit.

[azurelunatic]

Solidarity.

[nanila]

I'm sorry that the road to that freedom has been long and difficult, but I'm very, very glad you have been able to achieve it.
