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!

Finished indexing the plot numbers in the Croydon Inclosure Award (a thing from 1800 where they divided up all the common land and gave it to rich people). I’ve been meaning to do this for a couple of years now, so it’s good to get it out of the way. It will be useful for other Croydon historians, not just me.

[silveradept]

That sounds useful, thank you from future historians.

It’s building on work done by a previous Croydon historian in the 1880s, which feels very nice and collaborative.

Picked-up the mail this morning from the last couple of days, cleaned out the hall closets, worked on the room used to keep things that don't have a home, made more than half of today's calls and am now waiting for the last one to be returned so I can go to the post office.

[silveradept]

That's an accomplishment-filled day!

[siberian_skys]

Thank you. There's always too much to do. That has got to stop.

For lunch I made pasta & cheese sauce for a popcorn snack. It didn't work on popcorn, was awesome on the burgers I made for dinner. Also made the buns for burgers ( finally found a good recipe!) & I have cranberry orange muffins in the oven.😁

I also worked out for 20 mins today & took a shower & did my hair. Yay for self car!

[jazzyjj]

You're making me hungry! Sounds delicious.

[readera]

I enjoyed the muffins for breakfast with a some tea. Yum!

[nanila]

Mmmm, popcorn. Self-care FTW!

[readera]

Mmm 🍿. Working out takes a lot out of me but its worth it.

Hung out again w/neighbor across the hall for most of the day.





Received a phone call from my mother, which was in response to an email which I had sent only a minute or so prior. Talked with her a bit about the furniture move. She and my father want to come over one day next week while my tutor is here, just to check the place out again and get an idea of what I need. They haven't been up here for years, only due to hectic schedules.





Hung out in our backyard with some neighbors and had a bonfire. We were going to watch a movie, but a next-door neighbor had issues with the projector which he picked up from the office. So we just chatted and listened to music.

Sounds like a good day tending to your community and prepping the family for their visit. :)

Successfully recognized and asked for calibration when my brain was being ill-behaved.

[azurelunatic]

Alas, brains.

[nanila]

Naughty brain. No biscuit.

Well done, Silver! Definitely biscuit.

Crocheted for a total of three hours.

Spent about an hour fiddling around with a spreadsheet to determine how to modify the crochet pattern for my gauge, which is different than the designer's gauge. I think I have a plan! But woe, it gave me a headache figuring it out.

Therapy session in the afternoon! It went well.

Made a decision NOT to start a video game last night because I was too tired.

[nanila]

That's a marathon crochet session, huzzah!

And yay for therapy and good decisions.

[azurelunatic]

Figured out food even though nothing sounded good, without resorting to takeout. (That will likely be later in the week when it's hotter.)

Talked with Kiddo and started making preparations in case she wants to come stay for a little while.

[nanila]

Excellent work. *\o/*

Made a good dent in writing up a new procedure. I do love a well-crafted Wiki.

[readera]

Yay for writing! Wikis are awesome!
