Just One Thing! (30 November 2014)

[kate]

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!

Did a quick bit of medical research and sent the results off to the friend it was for!

[elmyraemilie]

Very kind of you to help your friend!

I baked a loaf of soda bread, and wrote the conclusion of the dissertation chapter section that I've been struggling with for months.

It isn't a good conclusion (its main point will end up in my overall introduction, probably), but it's written, and I've resisted the urge to go and rewrite it.

[elmyraemilie]

Mmmm. Soda bread. And also, resisting the urge to rewrite is one of the most difficult things in the world. Go you!

Made Thanksgiving-ish dinner for nine people! I don't usually cook for more than just me, and I don't usually cook meat, so I'm really pleased it all went so well and all my guests were happy.

[elmyraemilie]

That's an accomplishment. Good for you!

[alexseanchai]

Finished. The fucking. ESSAY.

Not allowed to collapse. Too much left to do.

[elmyraemilie]

But you are allowed to feel a sense of accomplishment! The collapsing can come later. :-)

[alexseanchai]

Less feeling the accomplishment, more feeling the stress of THIS THING, IT IS NOT YET DONE.

It's really hard to do things when stressed! Even the things where having done them means less stress!

gaaah life, you know?

[elmyraemilie]

It can be Gaaah, that is the truth. You can do it, though.

[alexseanchai]

Nod.

I got our mantle decorated for Christmas. Love decorations. Hate putting them up. Can't spell mantle mantel ledge over the fireplace.

[cosmolinguist]

I can never spell that one, either :)

Fed our guests. Had a nice pub lunch.

Canceled more plans this week, because 36 weeks pregnant == have to lie down every half an hour. :(
