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!

Dealt With today’s round of ants :

[nou]

Well done! We had ants last summer and it was just urrrgggggghhh.

Took Mom to her hair appointment yesterday.

Got the trash out this morning.

[nou]

Hurrah!

I would also normally have put the trash out today, but the council’s schedule is still gradually getting back to normal after the New Year break.

[siberian_skys]

I can understand that. After two weeks we're finally back on a regular trash schedule. Yay.

[lilly_c]

Two difficult phone calls.

[nou]

Oh, good for you!

[nou]

I wrote a lovely long email to a friend.

[nanila]

Yay, that's wonderful!

Also, thank you so much for the work you've been putting in, replying to comments in this community. It is very much appreciated.

[nou]

It’s my pleasure. Thank you for making the posts and keeping the community going, and also for being the way I found out about it in the first place.

Went to the gym!

Also, gave myself the headspace to work through some current circumstances that are very irritating, and over which I have no control.

[nou]

Self-care is good!

When I had a memory fail this time, I just went "well, shit" and engaged my backup plan. Perhaps because I had already had a memory fail yesterday.

[nanila]

Go you! I'm glad it was less work for you the second time around.

Hung out again w/neighbor friend across the hall a bit, and with one of my tutors.





Managed to get in a good dose of politics yesterday from 2 websites not affiliated with Dreamwidth. Then I took a short survey for another project, and might take part in a telephone interview related to said project. Basically a web portal that I've been to is being renovated, and they are seeking feedback about their online services. I attempted to purchase a free employment course from them awhile back, but was unsuccessful due to screen reader access to their online store.

[nou]

Sounds very productive! I hope the web portal people are serious about improving their accessibility.

Did not get discouraged when I was unable to achieve a goal in a video game I am playing. I'm going to try a different approach today.

Read another few chapters in my novel!

Worked on two different crafting projects. I need to tink back on the knitting project as I used the wrong color when starting the colorwork, but yay, the project's started!

[nou]

Yay for projects and reading, and good luck with the video game goal! What are you knitting?

[althea_valara]

Steek this cup cozy:

A steek is extra stitches in a color work pattern knit in the round which you then CUT to create an opening. I have never purposely cut my knitting before, so it’s a learning experience. My colors are black, red, raspberry pink, light pink, and white.

[nou]

Ooh, I like that! I understand the principle of steeking but have never done it. I like your colour combination too.

Some fun game time.

Took an unexpected outing to get a small file drawer.

Took a second unexpected outing to retrieve my partner's keys from their locked vehicle.

Did a little exploratory shopping, but the best of the St. Mark's Day sales are over.

[nou]

A file drawer! I love filing paraphernalia almost as much as I love actual filing. I dream of having a full-height filing cabinet.

[azurelunatic]

I would love one. My parents have two.
