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.
