It's challenge time!

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.

I made appointments to try and get finality on a thing that has been bothering me greatly lately.

Made it to the post office to pick up the parcel that Must Be Signed For. Which turned out to be a single $2 piece of fabric out of my $50 order (I've had most of the rest turn up already)

Got a mask to protect my delicate lungs from the smoke, since I was experiencing symptoms at work indoors.

Suggested to someone else that the smoke might be a factor in their discomfort.

Noticed a man paying sustained attention to a woman who didn't seem all that enthused to be talking to him, even though she was engaging politely. Using an app meant for emergency communication if I can't speak aloud for medical reasons, I offered to be a long-lost friend if she needed to escape conversation with him. She declined the offer, then thanked me after he got off the bus. He was not threatening, just tedious, and she had had encounters with him before and knew he got off before her. We had a cheerful, friendly chat.
