Just One Thing (05 August 2020)

[nanila]

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!

Personal note: A huge Thank You to regular co-poster jazzyjj and all the commenters who provide warm support to one another and keep the community thriving. I've been unable to keep up with responding to comments on the Just One Thing posts recently due to upheaval on multiple fronts in my life, but that should be coming to an end in the next two weeks.

Met some of my students (second- and third-year undergraduates). Hopefully made a good impression on them. It's very hard to tell when everyone has their cameras off on a Zoom conference call.

[readera]

Yay for meeting your students. Good luck with online teaching!

Got up when my alarm went off;

Laundry;

Put stuff outside for Buy Nothing collections and messaged Buy Nothing people;

Photographed some more stuff and listed it on Buy Nothing;

Messaged Buy Nothing people re collections tomorrow;

Moved several piles of books from one room to another room so my partner could pack them up later

[nou]

Yay for decluttering!

Did frustrating, unpleasant paperwork, called about getting front window screens so I can air out any germs, found a document that I need to make a copy of and mail, ordered groceries and a pizza and posted two black out bingos for July and August fests on allbingo.

[readera]

Good for you for getting paperwork done & ordering groceries.

[siberian_skys]

I really need to leave the house and do the stuff that I've been dragging on, but you can only do what you can do.

[readera]

Yup! I have quite a few things i have been putting off including laundry & mopping

[siberian_skys]

I understand about the mopping. Ugh. The kitchen could use it. I don't know what's worse, the stuff that needs done inside or the stuff I need to do out in the world.

[readera]

Lol thats true

[siberian_skys]

:-)

Got up & took meds, ate something, got & put away grocery order. Called about missing item. It should be here shortly, the original driver just forgot it in her car.

Also made food for my partner when he got up & got news that apt is sending ac person out tomorrow!

[nou]

Hurrah! Hope the ac person is helpful.

[readera]

Us too!

Made a :peas: emoji for the Slack where I talk to my friends about what we had for dinner. (We have 96 custom emoji, and most of them are food.)

[silveradept]

96 custom emoji? That's impressive.

[nou]

I mean how can you have a conversation without :beetroot: and :brie_wedge: and :garlic: and :matzah:?

[silveradept]

I see the point. That's just a lot of work, I would think.

Spent the morning moving back into my apartment, which went off as expected. Then my tutor and I walked to the grocery store and did some shopping. Then came back and had lunch.





Just got done talking with a neighbor. He came over here, and we both had our masks on. My mom gave me an extra mask which I put in my dresser. She also bought me some items from another grocery store in the area.





It feels weird being back here, rather like summer camp as it did when I first moved into this building.

[nou]

I hope being back in your home is nice as well as weird!

[jazzyjj]

It is very nice to be back here. Last night sleeping felt good. When I took my shower this morning it was as if I was actually outside. But I'll get used to it again. My shower floor is actually cement of some kind.

[silveradept]

I think I was a competent professional? It can be hard to tell, sometimes.

[nou]

Ha, I know that feeling!
