mid-year accomplishments?

haikujaguar. What I've accomplished over the past six months.
Here are the Meme Rules (cut and paste if you do this in your journal, or just link back here to them):
Accomplishments, not Milestones: This meme isn't about milestones you've reached or honors you've received; it's about the actions you've taken and the personal goals you've completed. So, for instance, a writer can list the stories he's submitted (the work he's done), but not the stories that were bought (which he had no control over). When opportunity comes around, sometimes we get what we want... but making opportunities happen often--that's what this is about.
No Decimal Points: You can't list the "2.5" recipes you've perfected. If we all counted the things we've started but never finished, we'd all have millions of accomplishments. Count only the finished things. Note that your priorities will dictate what you measure--one writer might count stories finished. Another might count words written.
Everything Counts: If you planted only one plant for your planned flower garden, don't list it as 'only 1'. Don't denigrate it in the comments to follow. You finished something. That counts. Always.
I wanted to participate, but I'm having a difficult time thinking of what I've done! Let's see...
I revived one plant from its dormant state. I have continued to support myself, living on my own. I danced in public without being horribly self-conscious. I think I have made a slight improvement in the record-keeping at work since the New Year. I took myself to the doctor for a check-up, though I need to go again. I decided I should have renter's insurance and got it. I added artwork to the walls of my apartment, which were bare six months ago.
I think I'll have more to report at the year's three-quarter mark. That would be... September 30.
