What did you achieve today?

Post Reply New Topic

Today in turn, I saw a dentist who pulled out my - very damaged - tooth because, as it turned out, it was broken and nothing else could be done about it I couldn't eat for a week, I lost two kilos and during the funeral meal after the funeral of aunt Ela, I could barely eat due to that tooth related problem

I cleaned out my wardrobe

Drove to Wales and back.

Drove to USA.

I just won "The Horse Ranch" - it's "The Sims 4" DLC, that one which got recently released It's the very first time I ever won something in a foreign contest, for so far I always entered only the Polish ones

Did my first ever bit of coding today. It was only a simple program and probably a 5 year old could do it but I'm incredibly proud of myself. And you've gotta start somewhere as well.

Due to air quality issues, today ended up being an indoor day for me. I managed to get quite a bit done inside...basic housework things, nothing major. Still, feeling rather accomplished with what all I did and I'm not exhausted form it all so double win.

I got a three-day ban from another global website.

I found a piano.

I bought 5 litres of soya milk from a huge supermarket I'd never been to before, in a part of town I've not been to for years. Had to use a bus service I've never used before for the final part of the trip. Pouring rain most of the time. I'm not good at map-reading or directions. Kept losing my bearings and finding them again. Bus windows so badly steamed up that I couldn't see where my stop was, so had to guess, and luckily got it right. Had to brave the crowds, barriers, and deafening racket of a carnival on my way back through the town centre. All buses cancelled, though the electronic displays didn't know that. So I had to walk back up a long, steep hill in the rain.

All that effort for a bit of soya milk seems over the top, but the good stuff is getting hard to find. Usual supermarket had run out and my supplies were down to 2 litres. Most shops don't sell the simple unadulterated product, just overpriced, short shelf-life stuff with flavourings I dislike. Previous best I could find had been costing me £1.25 per litre. New place sells it for 50p. And now I've been there once, I've got a new alternative place for buying groceries. It would have been easier to wait for a better day but I was getting bored with being risk-averse and felt it was about time I tried something challenging, just to put a bit of excitement back into my life.

It certainly improved my mood once I'd dried out. It may be a very small-time achievement but there's something kind of primeval about going out into the "dangerous" hard world and bringing the spoils back home.

I thought your first paragraph was a dream sequence.
