The "what did you accomplish today" thread

[Mrs. Luther073082]

Finished a lot of homework and took a quiz.

Went to the health department to pick up some pills, bought my boyfriend and I lunch, went to work, and I'm going to learn how to quilt! I interviewed a 99-year-old woman who still quilts and gardens and she's going to show me how to do both! I am very excited! She gave me the squares to start my quilt and I'm going to start sewing them together tomorrow!

I really love this thread! Thank you Melissa for starting this! It really motivates me during the day to get things done so I can report them on this thread at night or in the morning! It's really helping my depression! God bless you and all who post on this!!

Posting here helps me, too. Today I took a quiz, worked out, and read some of a new book I just got.

Yesterday I went to church, helped my boyfriend's sister-in-law paint flower pots for her sister's upcoming 16th-bday party, came back home, took a nap and meant to clean up my bathroom and bedroom but didn't. I watched "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and fell asleep. I hope to do more today!

Today, I woke up after 8 hours of sleep and signed up for cable Internet, scheduled an appointment for school to get working on some portfolios for my degree. It's only 11:30 a.m., so I'm going to get off here to go to work.

Yesterday I just sort of relaxed all day -- finished my book (which is good because that won't be distracting me from doing homework anymore) and then spent the evening watching movies with my Mom. My brother is volunteering as a camp counselor this week and my Dad is out of town, so Mom and I had a "girl's night".

 

[trinitygrace]

That sounded great! It's always good to have a day of relaxation, huh? I especially enjoy "girls nights" in or out!! They are a blast!!

I passed an exam after studying for it for the last three days and nights The best thing is that I have managed to concentrate over those few days, and tell myself to get back with it when my mind wandered.

 

[trinitygrace]

Good for you Snowy!!! That's awesome!! I know from going back to school after being out for 3 years, it is so hard to hit the books and concentrate on studying for test when you have a job and house responsibilities. I'm so happy for you!! I'll keep praying that you keep your focus and continue to improve!!

Today I sort of slacked. I still feel good that I got to work at a decent hour and got off early in the evevning to relax, instead of waiting until the last minute and working all evening. I did make a point to eat healthy today. However, I didn't work out. I stayed on the computer a little bit too long and browsed on here while replying to all my e-mails. Tomorrow will be better. I'll force myself to stay off of here and stay active and work out and get some house cleaning done. Please pray for motivation so I can get these things done!! Once I start, I'm fine and I love to clean and workout. It's just getting started!! Pray for my "kick-in-the-butt"!!

Beginning work early was a great start and it probably gave you more time in your day. I know what you mean about being 'fine once you get started' it happens to me all the time. Maybe you can reward yourself for doing the cleaning and working out by using your computer only after you've achieved those goals?

Yesterday, I worked out and practiced driving again again. This morning, so far, I've gotten up early, made coffee and breakfast, and gotten started on some homework. I consider that a pretty big accomplishment because last night storms kept waking me up and then there were like 4 tornado warnings so it was difficult to sleep! If this had happened a little over a year ago, I would still be in bed.

Yeah that's very true and makes perfect sense. I do need to start delay gratification and rewarding myself on the computer ONLY after I get done the things I keep putting off like cleaning and homework. Thanks for the suggestion. Now I just need to DO it!! God Bless you Snowy!

I'm so happy that you got up early even though you lost sleep from all the storms and tornado warnings!! Thank God I don't live in a place where there are tornadoes! I live in the Appalacian Mountains! Anways, good for you for keeping up with your day and not staying in bed. You should be very proud of yourself that you're keeping up with everything. I'll continue to pray for you.

Oh, and I love your character! She looks like a typical college student!!

Love,
Trinity

Went to class, worked out, practiced driving, and I'm about to start doing laundry and homework. <-- (edit) DONE!

good job, Melissa!

Today I bombed. I didn't really do anything I had planned but go to work and make my appointment. I feel so bummed out.

I have a day like that once in a while and yeah, it doesn't feel good at all. But there is always the next day, so don't give up At least you got to work and your appointment!

Passed an exam, hugely relieved During the exam I was getting pretty nervous about failing, but I calmed myself down, concentrated and stayed positive.
