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.

Messaged Buy Nothing people;

Took bag of rubbish to outside rubbish bin;

Called council to say "Hey, my recycling bin got stolen, can I please have a replacement?"

Moved stuff off the cat tree and off the floor around it so I could move the cat tree;

With my partners help, got the cat tree onto a furniture moving dolly and through two doorways and into the garage so it can go outside for Buy Nothing collection tomorrow without me having to have face to face contact with anyone;

Got some stuff into plastic boxes ready for Buy Nothing collection tomorrow.

Excellent, and I hope your bin comes soon.

Tried to make another grocery order that didn't work out. I'm so tired of shoppers claiming our order and then didn't shop it when promised. I had the order cancelled it. The last time I put up with it most of the food had to be destroyed because the hot food was cold and the cold food was hot. I wasn't going to risk that again. I was credited back, but that was still wasteful. I hate wasting food especially in these times. I was going to go myself, but the dog and Mom woke me up early and I fell back asleep. That got my whole day all screwed-up.

I hope things get better for you.

Thank you so much. Since we have credit with the company after the last two screw-ups, I made a small test order this morning and it's in the process of being shopped. We'll see how this works out.

Helped a sister out again with her technology, and will do so today.





Talked with some neighbors via phone call. They had a gas leak, but one of them called the local gas company right away. The source of the leak was found, and everyone is okay. I heard back from one of them last night that it will take a day or so to fix. Also heard that one of my neighbors somehow fell out of his bedroom window and injured both knees. I texted his father last night, and the son is supposed to be discharged today from the hospital. They have yet to figure out what exactly happened.

[silveradept]

That was quite a day. I hope everyone is okay.

Coped with the temperature.

Fixed dinner, which was somehow almost exactly right.

Re-collared the more skittish kitty, including several minutes of applied physics in getting the tags on the new collar. (The collar was off the kitty for this exercise. I may be stubborn but I'm not quite that foolhardy and I have no desire for more toothmarks in my hands.)

Prepared an order for curbside pickup. Marzipan is a wonderful substance.

Well done with coping, food, and kitten-herding. (Mmmm, marzipan)

[silveradept]

I had a productive day at work, I think.

Go you! :)
