What did you achieve today?

Went outside with the dog, my soul brother #1.

Returned my library books that were due and got some new ones.

I got out today.

I completed my work for the day----in both jobs.

Made a whole bunch of tuna noodle casserole.

I manage to own my morning and accomplish my morning routine.

This is my favorite.

Opened savings account.

made myself go out into the cold and damp darkness.

Socialized with family.

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.
