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!

Assuming it doesn't drop terrible consequences in my lap for doing it, I was a loudmouth again in public.

(If it does, I'm not going to be less proud of it, it'll just be buried in the anxiety.)

Good on you for doing the thing, even with the risk of the consequences and anxiety.

Talked again by phone with a neighbor.





Helped a sister out with more tech stuff.





Received a group text saying that a cousin of mine is hoping to adopt the fosterchild whom she and her sister are currently caring for. The child's mom is in favor of adoption as well, so I think it's a win-win situation. Said cousin's parents are of course very supportive too. They've done a great job as caregivers for this and other fosterchildren.

Well done on caring for your community. The foster => adoption scenario looks extremely promising. Your relatives sound like amazing people. :)

[jazzyjj]

Yes they certainly are.

Made a phone call about an upcoming medical appointment, to be sure that any access preparations would be in place. Requested a change to their phrasing of the access needs question, because "do you use any mobility devices" and "can you stand" does not equal "will you need a chair while we flat-iron your tits".

Read.

Made some food.

Coped with heat and humidity by lying in the path of a fan until housemate declared Fuck It and it was time for the air conditioner to dry us out more.

Many kudos for the advocacy work, and the self-care.

I hope it'll go on to help miscellaneous other people who I will never meet.
