Me, too! Me, too! On my down days, making my bed is the one win I can count on. I cheated a little, though. I added it to the "Yay, I did it" list, but the truth is, no matter how down the day, I cannot - or will not - crawl into frumpy sheets! Like you, sometimes that accomplishment is flying solo. Additional wins I've added are brushing my teeth and preparing a meal (not just opening a can or box.) The last one is rare, I don't enjoy food nor do I like to cook it. On my "better bad" days, I fall back on laundry because of it's relative simplicity. If I'm in need of a win and there's no laundry in the basket? It doesn't take long to find something that needs to be freshened up, hehe. It's sort of like adding a completed task to the bottom of a to-do list simply to gain the satisfaction of crossing it off! (Or am I the only one who does this?)

Thank you, Scott, for your help in keeping us afloat. It matters.

LOL, no you are not the only one do add an item to the end of a list just to cross it off. We all need reasons to feel good about ourselves, even if that means putting perfectly clean clothes in the washing machine. (Yes, I've done that, too.)

Thanks so much for your comment. It made me smile.
