Jim's Café - Thursday, Dec. 22nd

[Rockclimbinggirl]

Good day Café peeps.
@DrownedFishOnFire will be making the special of the day
@NYJmpMaster will be going shopping for the holiday party tomorrow.
@Freya @cgh0991 @AlexiMarie7 will be cleaning the Café in preparation for tomorrow

The challenge for today is to think about what you have accomplished.

Just went shopping for amazing food - a 11 lb prime rib and some jumbo crab legs are the featured dishes, with baby carrots, loaded baked potato, tossed salad as sides ....

What I have accomplished- as said above - I went shopping and got holiday food shopping done..... sadly have not accomplished much else so far today. So far as lifetime or this year or any other "grander scale" type of accomplishments- I am still alive and still trying to participate in life despite what i felt like 6 years ago which is a far bigger accomplishment than one might think at first glance.

I completely agree with this - thank you @NYJmpMaster for everything you do here - I know that much of it is never "seen" by people but I know how much you do and how much SF owes to you

@Rockclimbinggirl I am afraid I cannot report for cleaning duties today as I have people arriving in about 30 minutes and will be awol for the rest of the evening - plus I have already done all the cleaning I intend to do today!

Happy Thursday everyone

well then assign someone else to your duties. I do not have time either. Got myself out of bed and to the dentist. Then off to hang out with friends.

Morning all
The weekend is drawing nigh. We close at 12 today (Friday) then I am off to do a 4 day hike for the weekend.
Have a nice day all.

My special of the day isn't going to be anything great like NYJM lol

Maybe the water from the fountain of youth and the water from the healing monks would spread more goodness to todays get together!

My accomplishment is making it alive today for the length of the days I have lived.

Cheers to all and bottoms up!

I am also out on holiday break and looking forward to it.
My accomplishment is being alive although the suicidal feelings still appear. People off this site actually admire me for what I have accomplished in life but I still get suicidal feelings. But you and I know the real story.

Woodworking tonight and then the craziness of Christmas begins.

Well I've spent the day cleaning IRL, so I guess I will keep the gloves on for end of day café cleaning as well. Also got through a bit of ironing I had been putting off for a while, so I guess that's my accomplishment for the day.

On a wider scale, objectively I have accomplished a fair amount in life "on a whole" but I don't have any pride in or get any joy from them. They feel sort of "worldly" and not quite "me".

So, I will join the bandwagon on being alive being my biggest accomplishment, if not accomplishment, something of a great surprise to me.

 

[AlexiMarie7]

Oooo, company. Nice Enjoy!

Hey everyone, the cafe' looks great and the food excellent. As for accomplishments, I've had a lot of big changes this last couple years, some I didn't think I'd make it through, but did. The changes in myself have been subtle and of a spiritual nature. I've learned that I'm not meant to hide away from life and be alone. I've learned to face my fears, one by one, even when I'm afraid, I know I can do things one step and one day at a time. I've learned a lot here, that other people face many fears/problems and we can help each other along the path of life. Thank you everyone for being here and part of my life.
Namaste'
Brian

My accomplishments are mostly to do with my job I guess...since it's been such a horrible year...

Also, I went to the dentist for the first time in over a decade. I guess that counts as an accomplishment

Feeling tired from working so much on making music. I've got a lot of new material already, and I keep writing more. If I keep writing, I think I'll collapse, but if I stop writing, my brain will probably fry itself.

Trying to find a download for an EP that was released this year. If I can find it, I'll be listening to it tonight while I sleep.

I am off from my job today and a few days ago I realized I had kidney stones again. So I spent today trying to take care of myself; drinking lots of water and resting. I also answered a few messages. I'd been isolating myself for months, ignoring all calls rests and social media.

Today has been somewhat maddening. I went to my counseling at the clinic and told the counselor that I heard they still needed prior authorization for insurance coverage for some of my medications, so she talked to the lady in charge of that, and it turns out she just plain didn't do it. So I might have to wait til Tuesday. I have extra of the one, but the other is in the wrong dose. Besides, some of my meds don't seem to be working so I wanna see a psychiatrist. Nobody's been telling me a thing about the waitlist I'm supposedly on, so my counselor called in, only to be told that my case manager should know since she's part of the same organization I'm on the waitlist for psychiatric care. Pretty sure I've talked to her about this, and she was no help. I might just try another place. The one I was recommended today by my counselor is closer to my house anyway.

One recent accomplishment for me is making it through my semester and passing all my classes, even though i came rather close to failing one.
