List just one thing you did today

(From yesterday.)

I started my Medical Coding course. I finished my prerequisite class and now am on the the "main course." A huge leap in understanding my strengths and weaknesses and trying again to find a stable job 45 years into this lovely thing called Living.
 
An email reminded me in the nick of time that I was signed up for a writing group meeting on zoom. So, I did the writing exercise and spoke to other writers.
 
The two old cats are being silly today. It's very windy and cold here and getting colder tonight. I watched them racing around the yard in the cold wind, fake-fighting with each other, and then let them back in the house where it is warm. Both of them are now sleeping at my feet.
 
I slept overnight in my backyard in a corner out of the wind without shelter other than a light tarp over me. It was -5C overnight. Had a low cot and a good sleeping bag. I was comfy. Testing of the new survival kit is going well.
 
Went to Barnes & Noble, got a sketchbook and pencils to start learning how to draw (also a BD and a book as a Christmas present for myself - they're gonna be boxed and wrapped to open on Christmas)

Edit: Wait is this more than one thing I mean
 
After nearly two weeks of fighting flu I got back to being a local snow angel again this evening. I only managed to shovel three walks before powering down, but it's a start.
 
Two old friends and I dropped of multiple boxes of donated shelf-stable food and a couple of sleeping bags to a local homeless community shelter, then went to lunch at a nice restaurant and ate some delicious food and had a glass of wine. On reflection, the difference between us stuffing ourselves at an upscale woodfired pizza restaurant and the lines of homeless/poor people we saw lined up waiting for hot food at the shelter is pretty grim.
 
Took the day off from intensive studying to let the information settle into my brain and find a place to live permanently there.
