Day #2

[jadesfire]

I'm about to disappear for a few hours, and I wanted to get this up before I went.

Today I am awesome because I went to something I was nervous about, and I was confident and friendly and possibly entertaining. Yes, it is to do with my earlier post. No, I'm still not saying until I have confirmation, which should be in the next few days. But I was very much myself, and that I am proud of.

I also finished a whole story, which feels wonderful. Oh, and I am awesome because I'm going to my Slimming World group despite really not wanting to. I always love it when I get there, but the thought always terrifies me. But I'm going, hence disappearing for a while.

How are you awesome today? I expect lots of awesomeness when I come back!

Hee! That is awesome patience indeed :D

I'm awesome because I'm Getting Things Done. Even though said Things are making me crazy

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

That is HARD. And definitely awesome.

[hilsongirl.livejournal.com]

Best of lucks with your "secret thing"! ;)

I am awesome because I am teaching myself a new language.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Ooh, neat! What are you learning?

I have not yet murdered my children, despite the fact they have a three day weekend and are driving me INSANE. I consider that pretty awesome

[travels-in-time.livejournal.com]

*nods furiously* Yes. This.

I am awesome because I've been following a budget plan religiously this month. And I printed out a daily exercise routine for myself. Up next: conquer sloth! :D

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Budgeting's next on my list after I get my eating sorted. It's *hard* so definitely of the awesome.

Printed lists are good :) Good luck!

I always love it when I get there, but the thought always terrifies me.

::nods:: That is so good to know about yourself. I find it's helpful in forcing motivation, when necessary.

But I was very much myself, and that I am proud of.

Awesome. :)

I am awesome because while my carefully prepared plan for class this morning went awry, I was flexible and didn't stress about it. And also (can I predict future awesomeness?) I am reasonably confident that I am going to go to the store after work and buy ingredients for chocolate cherry cupcakes.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Yay! It's hard when you know you've got to get through stuff and it won't quite fit.

You can always predict future awesomeness - how are the cupcakes? ;)

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

Yay for awesomeness!

I haven't done anything particularly awesome yet, though walking the dog was fun but I will be going swimming later which counts (trying to avoid the thin, fit people; mind you, I'm usually the best swimmer in the pool as the thin and fit ladies won't duck their heads underwater in case they smudge their make up). Since I paid for my gym membership I've been going swimming at least 3 times a week and I've lost 10 pounds. Am happy. Still a bit to muscle achy from rib stuff to do 'proper' gym things, but the swimming is nice.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Hee. That's fantastic - someone who's actually *using* their gym membership :D I love swimming, and would go if I wasn't allergic to chlorine...

I think that definitely counts as awesome!

[miss-zedem.livejournal.com]

Yay you!!!

I'm awesome today because I didn't kill annoying!colleague when he was being annoying. Instead I walked away, asked the manager to sort out the problem he'd created, and went back when I'd calmed down and trained him (again) on the correct procedure for taking paper vouchers payments (yes, that again).

*see icon*

Honestly. You know the line from Friends, "pigeons learn faster"... Sheesh.

You definitely get extra awesome points, also for making your manager do her job and for having the patience to go through it again.

I am awesome because as soon as I finish this LJ catch up, I am going start writing Chapter Five of my NOVEL!

[stackcats.livejournal.com]

Yay for you!

I am awesome because I decided what to buy in Waterstones today in less than half an hour :0)

[crystalshard.livejournal.com]

Woohoo, you are indeed awesome!

I am awesome because I started practicing singing again. I haven't been doing it for a while, and it feels good to get back in the saddle.

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

Good for you, Slimmingworld is a great plan!

currently my life very mundane, but I've posted a new fic so hopefully that counts!

[smtfhw.livejournal.com]

Right now, I can't say, but believe me I was awesome. Will explain later in the week...

[rachel68620.livejournal.com]

I am awsome because I have agreed to take care of my friend Melinda's cat. This is huge because I lost both my cats within a month of each other. And it has only been about a month since losing the second one.
