Why Yes, Yes I Do Want a Medal for That

Accomplishments for the day:

• Got out of bed (after a three day weekend, this is not to be discounted).
• Remembered to buy cat food during lunch hour (we will be permitted to live another day).
• Balanced all bank accounts at the office (first try, thank you very much).
• Cooked dinner when I got home (Pizza Hut misses me).
• While supervising the Elder's homework, did NOT fall into the trap of doing the assignment for him (took twenty minutes instead of two).

It's the last one that inspired the title.
