Just One Thing (08 May 2014)

[alexseanchai]

It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing that you've accomplished in the past twenty-four hours. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you’re feeling 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!

Bonus random challenge: Set a goal for the day. Do twenty minutes of something that will help achieve the goal. Take a ten-minute break to do fun stuff (or other productive stuff, that works too). Repeat the half-hour cycle until the goal is accomplished.

Achieved: read this, that, and the other for this class and that class, and wrote the first half of the thing for the other class.

Goal: write the other half of the thing for the class. Secondary goal: write the thing for that class.

I went to the gym and found that I'd forgotten to pack my gym clothes. Went home and (very firmly encouraged by partner) did not wimp out but picked up the gym kit and went back out there. So very impressed with myself. Also it was the first non-work thing I've done in ages.

[alexseanchai]

\o/ gym!

[pebblerocker]

That had to take more strength than anything you did while actually at the gym.

I got up, put clothes on, and bought lightbulbs, then replaced the two that burnt out. (I've just come home and am crazy jet-lagged still, so 'getting up' is actually a major achievement these days.)

[alexseanchai]

Woot wakefulness and lightable light bulbs!

Cleaned up my old external hard drive to use as a scratch disk for Photoshop.

[alexseanchai]

Yay!

I finished one work thing and I'm going to finish another one tonight yet, dammit!

[kyrielle]

Progress is awesome. :)

[pebblerocker]

Broke a long silence and posted something.

Also wrote a lot of another thing and planned what to do with it next.

[kyrielle]

Words are awesome. Finding them and getting them to line up as you wish even moreso. You rock! :)

[alexseanchai]

Woot writing!

Called patient advocate at the hospital-place I went to yesterday to leave an Official Complaint about the doctor I dealt with. (Not terrible medically, but would perhaps be better if replaced with a robot who would probably have a better comprehension of human emotions and what is appropriate to say to patients.)

Also gave myself space to collapse in a pile of /o\ and tears and snot.

At least there was a puppy around, and puppy was a happy and cuddly puppy.

[kyrielle]

Bah for needing to do it, but yay for standing up for yourself! Puppies are awesome, and may that doctor get all that is deserved from the complaint, and reasons therefore.

[alexseanchai]

Oh that sounds horrible. Yay calling and self-care!

My youngest gashed his forehead open on the TV stand. The advice nurse tried to tell me he didn't need to be seen, because it would mean the ER at that hour. The gash was gaping, so I took him in anyway, and the ER doctor said that was a very good choice - he was able to numb it, clean it, and it needed three stitches.

[solitarywalker]

Yay trusting your own judgement!

[alexseanchai]

Oh OUCH. Glad he's okay.

[solitarywalker]

i had a really good, useful phone conversation.

[alexseanchai]

Yay good conversation!

[blossomdreams]

I'm giving myself a day off from job searching and not feeling bad about it. :)

[alexseanchai]

Yay self-care!

[blossomdreams]

\o/

[ninetydegrees]

Took some decisions and made some plans I'm really happy about.

[alexseanchai]

Woohoo!
