    Yesterday:

    - Rewrote large chunks of a Python script at work and now it runs a lot more quickly and efficiently
    - Went for a 6.5km run and my back wasn't playing up
    - Cooked tasty roast chicken and veg for dinner, and managed to resist the urge to make a late night chocolate run *pings halo*

    I've just realised I didn't do anything yesterday that I could count as a victory :(

    Managed to get loads done in an insanely busy few days at work
    Got up early and put a curry in the slow cooker for later
    Had 3 Butlers chocolates at work yesterday and didn't use it as an excuse to say 'stuff the diet, it's ruined now anyway' :pac:

    I cleaned the printer and replaced the cartridges and remembered to take the chicken out of the freezer this morning.

    Winning....

    I made it to my 2 pm class after only going to bed at 8 am;
    I actually paid attention in said class :);
    I just sorted and started on my laundry;
    I am getting ready to pull another all nighter so I can tick off another paper.

    Wow, writing that down made me realise what a badass I am. Drinks on me everyone :cool:.

    Off topic: The 31st is my adopted birthday! Happy birthday to your son. Someone made a mistake on my birth certificate so until last year, I celebrated my birthday on the 31st. Since finding out, I now celebrate it on the 31st and the 1st :). I have a soft spot for people born on my adopted birthday :).


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,813 ✭✭✭PhysiologyRocks


    I studied some more.

    I made a packed lunch.

    I ate salad and drank a smoothie with my dinner.

    I caught up with a friend I haven't seen in ages.

    I fed my Furby.

    I started on my presentation.

    After many dead ends, tears and panic attacks I managed to get an stray dog into an amazing new foster home, who'll give him the love and attention he's needed since he was dumped by his old owners, until he gets to go to his reserved place in a local rescue this weekend.
    If that's not victory I don't know what is. \o/

    I made healthy-ish chocolate cake.

    I received several compliments from friends which I actually believed and could accept them, rather than just brushing them off.

    I went to my most horrible double lecture of the week, when I was in absolutely no mood to go to it. And I took notes.

    I ate lots of fruit.

    I got all my seminar reading done well in advance of my seminars this week.

    I've been taking my vitamins regularly without forgetting any.

    Bought a blender during the week and made homemade vegetable soup for the first time ever today. It was yum. And so easy to make. Made loads, froze some for the week. No more packet soups.

    This is a cool thread :)

    I collected some money for Medecins Sans Frontiers in the morning. Probably made about 30 or 40 euro, so it was alright. It'll do something for a displaced person in South Sudan anyway! I had my first encounter with Youth Defence (God, they're a bunch of utter lunatics, aren't they?!), and signed a petition for abortion rights in Ireland that was coincidentally just around the corner from YD and their abortion photos, I got an innocent smoothie which was wearing a hat (some campaign for Age Action.. It was kinda cool!), went to the library, admittedly later than I'd planned, and didn't get as much done as I'd hoped, but it wasn't so bad, then got chips with a couple friends and now I'm listening to music and doing a bit more revising! :D

    Practiced my driving. Did pretty well until it got overwhelming & I had to stop because of the stress... But I made some improvments & am going back out tomorrow. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,016 ✭✭✭lilmissprincess


    I made it to the top of Shandon Bell Tower today. Looked down and all.

    Seeing as I freaked out and cried last time half way up and refused to go higher, im proud...

    Fair play, just keep at it :) I'm learning to drive too, and I'm really nervous because I had a little accident before Christmas, so my victory is that I'm starting to get my driving mojo back :D
