What did you achieve today?

Post Reply New Topic

Yesterday, I managed to call on the phone and get a job opportunity!

Took out trash & brushed dog.

Some housecleaning, some laundry, some cooking and some healing (from surgery right after thanksgiving). I was warned that healing would be slow, so this feels like real progress.

(Yesterday) Flew to Istanbul, signed a contract and returned back to my hometown. I'll have an amazing job that I can do from home!

Just climbed up a ladder, removed three old ceiling mounted smoke alarms and their mounting plates, used the same screws in situ to attach new mounting plates, installed three new smoke alarms.

This was NOT my idea - Maryland law now requires everyone to have sealed units with 10-year batteries in place as of January 1, 2018.

But I'm pretty tickled (chuffed, if you're in a Commonwealth country ), because I wasn't sure I'd be able to get up there and stay up there long enough to ceiling mount any of them, let alone re-use the existing mounting screws, and never mind doing it three times, reaching up over my head with both hands from the top of a ladder. (I have ten foot cathedral ceilings.)

Most of my neighbors have been wall mounting theirs (it's legal; ceiling mount preferred) and putting a cover where the old ones were, and they're handier than I am.

I have one more to do, but it's hardwired, and evening is closing in, so I am going to have to actually read the instructions on that one's replacement and I'm leaving it for tomorrow when the light is better. (Edit in: God, I love this stuff! I never knew!)

I finally finished my 2018-2019 Federal Application for Student Aid; known as FAFSA in short form.

^Nice animation.

I fed the cat. That's my big accomplishment today.

^^ I bet the cat thinks it's a pretty great thing

Managed to carry more kilograms than the limit on the plane.

I got dressed.

Not exactly a massive achievement but I noticed earlier that one of the registration plate lights on my car wasn't working so I went out and bought a new bulb and changed it myself.

Reassembled humidifier from last year (includes scrubbing it out last night).

Achieved to wake up at 13:30, eat my medicine and make a sandwich after new years eve.

Stayed up till 05:30 tinkering with my Amiga 4000, had some crap IDE converter that refused to work but the new ones i ordered worked. Had some additional things to sort out, but then i was too tired and just crashed into bed.

I drew a penguin with poo on its head & that poo had a face: the face of poo.

I wrote two pages of my book I started today.

A couple of minutes ago, I achieved a permanent ban from the Office depot bathroom
