It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing that you've accomplished in the past 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling 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!

Booked my hotel in Germany! Near the university, so I don't have to waddle too far whilst 6+ months pregnant.

translate.google says 'waddle to work' is 'watscheln zu arbeiten'

happy watschelning

[nanila]

Oh German. So awesome.

[rmc28]

Sent money so my m-i-l could book flights for next Easter's visit.

[nanila]

Yay! Hopefully a good deal can be gotten from booking early.

[rmc28]

It is a good deal yes :-)

[solitarywalker]

Wow that is some serious planning ahead!

[rmc28]

Heh. There is a Thing I want to do next Easter, and I need to know my children will be looked after before I book, so I was motivated.

Fixed what was broken in my story. (I hope...) It's still not done yet, but I think I have forward motion now on a single story that isn't trying to jam half of a second story into the back half of this one. (Er. That sounds more sexual than intended.) Or I did have forward motion before I went to bed last night of being too tired to put words together anymore.

[nanila]

Yay! I hope the finishing touches come more easily.

[alexseanchai]

Never mind finishing touches at this point. I need to write the back third of the story. I know what it all is, I think--I might be done the draft tomorrow!--but finishing touches are for later.

Listened to a friend I haven't heard from in a while talk about something important and difficult they hadn't been able to talk about much.

[nanila]

What a wonderfully generous thing to have accomplished today. I salute you.

[dhampyresa]

I did not forget to bring the jam to grandma! (...Why am I suddenly feeling like Little Read Riding Hood?)

[nanila]

Wahey! (It is a sign. You need a glorious red cape.)

[dhampyresa]

(I really do!)

I wanted a burger from the place that does elk burgers, but I stayed in and made stir fry with the nice stir fry-cut sirloin that would have gone off soon.

Woo, go you! I cleaned our refrigerator out today, so I can really appreciate this. So much wasted food. D:

[kate]

Got my braces tightened, went grocery shopping, and now we are currently cooking a really tasty dinner. :D

[nanila]

I note with pleasure that your reply does not contain the dreaded w--k! Hurrah!

[calissa]

Had a difficult conversation with my sweetheart. For once, I was able to articulate my displeasure without becoming completely overwhelmed by emotion.

[nanila]

Oh wow. It can be so draining, exercising that much control. I do hope your sweetheart responded well.

[calissa]

He has an impressive level of emotional control and self-awareness, so he generally responds better than I do.
