Sometimes it’s the little, mundane victories. We’re not done repainting this room by a long shot, but we did finish painting the accent color portions, and… I don’t know, it feels good. 😊

Just want to pat myself on the back for not eating a single cookie yesterday.
I devoured half a box of those Chips-Ahoy! Chewy chocolate chip cookies in a couple of days. They were so small and cute and chewy. I'd have one every time I'd walk by the kitchen counter.
Yesterday I told myself no cookies for the entire day. I succeeded.
I should reward myself with a cookie but I would ... crumble... under the pressure of only eating one.

I just beat #MinesweeperOnline in 144 seconds on Expert mode!
I mean, the bad news is that I wasted 144 seconds of my life. The good news is that it was only 144 seconds, and that's my all time best score, so... #LittleVictories

It seems water + cornstarch is the killer combo for no-streak windows and mirrors.
I'm here on uncanny valley, fool the local birds level of streak free.

The little victories
I took a short, slow walk today. The sun was shining and the streets were mostly empty. It was nice.
I am sure a normal person could have been there and back in minutes. I took longer than that. The thing is that I did the walk. I got the thing I needed and I got home again.
This was a small victory but a victory nevertheless.

Tell us something good that happened to you today (or this week).
We'll go first: found our phone today after losing it yesterday.

I’m really looking forward to the big game tomorrow - I need to get a bunch of lumber and supplies at the local home store, and tomorrow afternoon is the best time all year to shop if you want the store to yourself!

Accidentally got a Swiss French call transferred to me today. While tempted to give them the "Sorry wrong number" spiel, I ended up offering to assist if they were willing to bear with my far from fluent French.
And to my utter delight I managed a full business phone call from start to finish. Understood all they wanted and though with some small errors managed to make myself understood. A Win Win on all fronts. -
I think I just got a "You're right" response from a work email... Better buy a lotto ticket.
Working with mostly married women, it's like the planets need to align during a solar eclipse while a meteor shower barrels towards earth before they can admit when they were actually wrong LOL.

I got a seat in the Go train at Kennedy - and it arrived early too! Neither of these things happen.

CW: Mental Health, ADHD, Teeth
I've played in more concerts than I can remember, learned more pieces than I can recount, and in all of that, nothing quite beats the satisfaction of running out of toothpaste because of consistent use :shiba_love: :shiba_excited:
ADHD for me makes doing things hard and sustaining habits harder still. Even a habit that seems stable can collapse in the face of one small barrier to entry I didn't see crop up :sad_panda: Especially in a city where we literally don't have fluoride in our water and thus our teeth decay faster, brushing consistently is something that's absolutely critical, but without the medical help that I now have for ADHD, this isn't a view I got to witness often before I lost the damn tube :cat_frown: :zerotwo_big_angry:
I feel like an absolute wreck, but physical manifestations of the effort I put in are hard for the mean part of my brain to refute :bugcat_nod:

I finished walking the dogs a few seconds before a tremendous downpour hit.

I made pumpkin pie baked oatmeal & I don't have to think about breakfast again until at least mid-week. #LittleVictories

CW: Abigail Shrier, good news
More good news!
Thanks to complaints, Abigail Shrier's 'Irreversible Damage' is no longer a "staff pick" at Whitehorse library.

@Emmacox The pressure of people (men & women) to look and behave in a certain way is terrifying! If I were a teenager these days, I don’t know where to look to avoid any sort of subliminal influence to be slim, muscular, sexy, well groomed and possessive of a vacant stare that suggests mental deficiency.
At least I’ve got the last part nailed down! 😁 #LittleVictories

Happy Friday! Let's all share something that went well this week, no matter how small ☺️ I'll start:
I started drinking more water. I got the world's largest jug since my ADHD brain can't remember to fill it up more than once a day, and it's become a great indicator of how much I need to drink to reach the recommended amount!
What's your little victory of the week? #LittleVictories
-
🏆I made it to dog pick up on time!
🏆And those glasses of wine made me extra mellow on the walk home.
🏆Having treats in my pocket made Benson extra malleable on the BART. (Which made encountering a husky AND a German Shepherd on the train more manageable. It was a good day for dogs on the train.)
🏆And my little motorcycle leather glove made handling Benson much easier on my pre-arthritic hand!!
On balance, a good end to a truly ass day!

Glad the morning headache is from #weightlifting instead of a #hangover.

I know this might look kind of silly, but as mundane as this might look, this feels like a monumental victory for me. Depression and ADHD robbed me of so many functions even a kindergartener might have as a routine.
For me, despite my meds and therapy, it's still not a routine. The only thing that keeps me brushing is the fact that my toothbrush and toothpaste are within easy reach, but as always, if it works, it's not stupid.

Am I now officially registered to practice #law in the State of Illinois for the year 2023?
Yes.
Is this the sort of thing that is worthy of announcing publicly on a social media site?
Probably not but I'm doing it anyway. 😊

@doot At least a penis tree already has baubles on it. 🤔 #littlevictories

Figured out how to switch the background on my iPhone to a constantly changing trip through the various photos stored on it. Not a life-changing discovery, by any means but it’s surprising how much it makes a difference to your day. #littlevictories

@davidwengier At least mowing the lawn will usually come with the satisfaction of completion. #littleVictories

Found a bug in my code that unveiled another bug, fixed the second bug and then the first one. This took nearly 3 days and didn't let me sleep. #satisfaction #littlevictories

@techbalion just like I did with #JitsiMeet , #littleVictories
