A place where anyone can come and tell the world what they did today. Share your triumphs, small or big, as well as the defeats we all suffer.
What U Did Today is an idea that came to life when a few of us got together and realized that in today's world, so often, friends and family are separated by great distances. Sometimes these distances are due to geography, just as often, they're emotional. Nonetheless, we all realized that sometimes we would just like to be able to tell SOMEONE how our day was. So we started this site as a place where anyone can come and tell the rest of us what happened today. Triumphs, small or big, are welcomed, and the inevitable losses we all suffer (and are far more in number it always seems) will be shared as well. Unless you advise us otherwise, we will post your first name and location with your entry. But don't worry, your other information will NEVER be shared. So go ahead, open up, Send us an email telling us how your day was, we all have THOSE days, good and bad....and it's always better when you know that SOMEONE is listening.
Today I committed to doing tasks I've put off far too long. I tend to get overwhelmed because I think I have to finish the whole thing at one time and in one day. Instead, I've decided to break everything up into bite sized jobs so I feel accomplished. The progress might be slower, but at least I can see it.

Today I was completely honest in a situation where most people find it much easier to lie outright or by omission.

Today I let a guy lead me. It was nice to spend time with someone comfortable enough to discuss his passions at length. The best part was he clearly paid attention to what I had to say and kept gently nudging the conversation back towards me.

Today I went to a mtg about a 401K at work. What a reality check ! Looking toward retirement is just around the corner & I'm not prepared. I cannot see myself trying to live on $600/month via SS. How depressing. I think I have to work forever.....

Today I decided to skip class and go to the The AIDS Walk Kickoff Reception, though I know I'll have to work twice as hard on Monday figuring out what my lab partners did. Sounds mean, but really... I'm not sure they can follow procedures correctly without me looking over their shoulder.
Today I finally cried for myself. Cried for my struggle, for my pain, my grief over the loss of my identity as an independent person. I realized that I am really at my wit's end and that I have to find a way out. I have spent the past four years worrying about someone else's well being and have neglected to care for my own. I am tired of it, but I don't know what to do. I don't know if there is any one out there who can help me. I have a feeling its something I have to conquer myself. I just doubt that I can find the strength to do it. I fear for both of our safety. Which is a really shitty place to be.
Today I finally understood something that has been in my face for so long. If he leaves his girlfriend, he won't come looking for me to be his next, even though he likes me so much. So, it is also today that I realise I must break all ties with him, my closest friend. I must break ties with all of his friends, their girlfriends, and his girlfriend. Today I found out what it's like to be really, truly heartbroken.

Today I did some volunteer work for a homeless shelter downtown. I'd been meaning to for a long time, but life's always too busy, or so it seems. It was actually a little scary, but I'm very glad I went, and if nothing else, it makes me thankful for everything I do have in my life.

Today I wrote a long letter to someone who broke my heart not so long ago. I purposely brought up pretty much everything she had ever done that hurt me, kind of a "YOU SUCK hailstorm". I hope it breaks her the way she broke me. I know that sounds spiteful, but if I told you the whole story, I think you'd agree.
Today I was reminded to live each day fully--to use that good china instead of using it for "special occasions"-- every day is a special occasion!

Today I got up to round 985 on super word power-- keep increasing my vocabulary---hope to use some of the words I learned in daily conversation---ha ha.

Today I finally fessed up to my ex that no, I am not over it. This being done in an email which is pretty much the first communication we have had in nearly 2 years.
