I made a list of 100 reasons to live. It took a long time and some of my reasons are lame like chocolate and coffee, but I did it.
Thanks for this!

wanna see it! It must be a really good list. 100 reasons is a lot. When I was suicidal, I could not come up with even a few. Now it is probably different but I have not tried. If you do not mind sharing, of course... I highly doubt that any of your reasons are lame, and yes, chocolate and coffee are my best friends, too.

I had a good professional interview but was sooo tired afterwards. My friend who is not mentally ill tells me that she would get tired after a long interview, too, so the reaction appears normal.

I started the day with a good morning routine: Synthroid, brush teeth, rinse with fluoride rinse and set a timer for 30 mins; during that time, deal with cat litter, recycling, and remaining bit of laundry. I liked it a lot because when I just sit there and wait for 30 mins to pass (I cannot eat for 30 mins min after taking Synthroid), 30 mins last forever, but today I barely noticed how the time passed. I will try to make this a routine for every morning.
Thanks for this!

It's a lot to post, but I could. I will make it a thread maybe.

Taught 2 -1 hour classes in my Tribes ' culture to 3 graders. It's tiring, but rewarding. They have great questions.
Thanks for this!

Cleaned the bathroom & made up the bed-let my cat lay on me for a long time while I watched some classic Dr. Who episodes.

Um...threw away my McDonald's bag and separated stocking stuffers. Other than that, I've done nothing useful. :-)
