I'm willing to extend a bonus round to Onerous Task Day just to get Emily's ass in gear.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I didn't have it nearly as bad as Maria in the snowstorm.
I left work about 2:30 (2 hours early), met Hubs near Rosslyn, and we drove home. Bumper to bumper on 66 just about the whole way. Once the snow started, it got very bad very fast. Got home about 4:45, which meant the commute took about an hour longer than normal.
Government opened 2 hours late today, which Hubs took as permission to sleep in 2 extra hours. So I did 80 percent of the shoveling out. (Well, I only shoveled the driveway, not the sidewalk. But, still.) My back barely made it, but I think I did something to my arm/elbow. The ramp onto 66 wasn't plowed, and we only had 2 lanes on 66 until about Fair Oaks/Route 50.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ah. So it's more a thing that I need to do at *some* point, then something that I really have to do today, encouragement or no. Like - shudder - cleaning.
I think the idea was to actually attack the stuff you tend to put off. With the encouragment, fellow-feeling, etc.
I'm pretty sure people can get individual gold stars at other times as well.
Go, Kathy, with your swimmin' self!
See, like that!

We can still encourage you, Em. I'm pretty sure that's not against the rules.

Watch that, since I've had epicondylitis (tennis elbow) since November when I raked some leaves. It's gotten so bad that very simple things, like brushing my hair and cutting my own meat, not to mention picking up my daughter, are extremely painful.

I entered a stack of receipts, clearing a small part of my desk!
