2025 Week #11 Weekly Goal Sharing! (Monday 03/10/25 - Sunday 03/16/25)
I welcome anyone to commit to a goal here today.
But importantly, talk about getting it done..... or why it didn't happen yet.
To praise each other for our efforts and wins.
While supporting each other through trials and setbacks.
And to continue trying and not give up.
Remember:
Every Goal should be considered "Worthy".
Never belittle your achievements and be proud of yourself for your daily accomplishments!
Whether they be Complex or Simple.
Getting out of bed is a good day..... Good job I say!
Share your goals today, for support and encouragement.

And Any Others. If you want to be added/removed to/from the tag list, let me know. 😃
I am so discouraged.
I shouldn't be, as I view the loss of so many others, from natural disasters to wars and all they lose. My loss is menial and petty.
I've had temporary storage outside for a few years now since my big move. One of the things that I've protected all these years is large pieces of glass and mirrors. I had a stained glass business I saved the glass and I also collected vintage mirrors.. I've kept them safe for years in temporary storage.
last month I moved them into a more permanent storage area on a professional rack system. Today I just saw that the professional rack system collapsed and you may as well have taken all my glass and dumped it out of a dump truck.
My sadness comes from the amount of work that I put into it, the amount of work I'm gonna have to put into it to clean it up at a time that I can't really afford to take the time. And of course the loss of cherished pieces in money and sentiment. Another level of sadness is I don't really have any personal friends or family that I can share this with that it would matter very much to them.
In the scheme of things, it really matters so little. Broken glass to clean up and the days will continue.
We are reminded often of our frailty and futility. But it's ok..... life is big, dangerous, beautiful and amazing.... we must live with it all, at the moment it happens. it's ok and my broken glass and loss of progress is menial in the scope of all things.
but big for me at the moment..... i know this moment will pass but i'm very discouraged.
@IsayUncle I do care<3 and it's understandable to feel discouraged about what happened. We don't try to brush away our happiness in comparison so why do that for the times where we need to feel sad. It mattered to you, it is a big deal. I'm so sorry that this happened<3 You protected your possessions all this year and for it to be destroyed by something that was not in your control, must be so so frustrating.
Thank you for sharing this here with us<3 I think it's so cool that you had a stained glass buisness and vintage mirrors:D It makes you cooler 8)
I have no doubt that you'll figure something out, you'll handle it but it's completely okay if the handling takes time, it's okay if right now you just need to grieve this loss<3 Life is all about these seemingly little wins and losses and how we navigate through them. Life is all about you and the things that matter to you<3
@BlueDarkAurora
Thanks for the kind and supportive sentiments. 🤗.
Have a super nice day! SMILE... 😄.... me too.... 😁
@IsayUncle
@BlueDarkAurora
Awww, how cute! A well recieved smile. 
@IsayUncle I know you said in the scheme of things it matters little. Yet it does matter. Those were pieces of your past. I know I'm pretty sentimental about pieces of my past too. I'm really sorry to hear this happened 😞
@mytwistedsoul
thx 😞
@IsayUncle i'm so sorry that happened. i love stained glass! you had a lot of nice things and they got ruined, i would be totally upset too. this is a major hurdle so try to go easy on yourself with tackling it.
coincidentally i have a storage unit of stuff including my late dad's records, and they're likely ruined due to high heat in the summer, and i didn't realize that until it was too late. it is what it is. things happen unfortunately that are out of our control and we can only do so much/think of so much at any given time.
take care of yourself this week <3
@fearlessWriter78
Thank you. I'm absorbing the reality but haven't had the time to go get it cleaned up yet.... another hurdle.... Oh well, what would we do without hurdles to keep us hopping? 🙄
@fearlessWriter78
I'm sorry about the possibility of ruined albums from your dad, but fear not until you inspect them. If they were boxed, they could be just fine and probably are! The heat and warped album thing is pretty exaggerated.... but it does happen on occasion.
Maybe, if you have time, you can, Go check them out before this years heat.
Well I had something typed here but then I lost it. Not going to put it all up again. Let's just say that I'm trying to finish the list from yesterday which took me all day to do because I had to pull info from a web platform that I have to be on a VPN to access but do the background checks when I'm not on the VPN because those sites don't like the VPN. Got about 20 names done and still have 9 left to do plus one state for another report.
Once I get these done, I can start on the lab for the 3rd assignment.
@Enthenia
You're still chugging away, one step at a time! Good Job!
I get super upset when I lose a post like that. Arrrrrgh! Sorry it happened to you! ☹️ I actually copy all my posts before i hit the post button, then if somer=thing happens, i can repost. I do that faithfully.
@IsayUncle it was just something else that went wrong that day.
@Enthenia
Absolutely.... I know exactly what a mean. 😥
@IsayUncle it's just irritating because I'm given the impression that everything I do is wrong at work or that my observations are irrelevant. But, it's not just me putting in wrong information or not even bothering to check.
Right now I have to pull another background report because one of the ones saved belonged to a different person. Same first and last name, different middle name and birthdate. Should have been caught before now but I'm doing it because I don't want to get yelled at again although I'm quite sure they will find something else that I've done wrong.
@Enthenia
ARE YOU OK? things will always go wrong but it seems they use you for a scapegoat when you are the only one making an effort to get it right. 😢.
BUT... YOU ARE NOT WRONG! YOU ARE STRONG!
@IsayUncle I'm fine. I just have to put up with it until I have another option. I'm used to enduring things.
I got 40% of the lab done. Will have to do the rest Monday. Now I'm going to do a puzzle game for a bit and then a picture.
@Enthenia
Good, thanks for answering. that's good about your lab work. 😀
Enjoy ur fun stuff. 😊
@IsayUncle well my time wasting wasn't as productive as I had hoped. Fell asleep numerous times because of eating too late, eating the wrong things, etc. It happened to me quite a few times that morning too and I didn't have anything that I don't normally have.
This morning I got sleepy when I hadn't had anything yet. Just a lemon ginger drink (watered down) that I drank before I took the dog out this morning. It's frustrating. Like right now I'm fine but sometimes I get super sleepy and hour or so after I've taken the dog out which usually shortly follows breakfast (& I don't deviate a lot from what I generally eat for breakfast).
@Enthenia
Getting sleepy can be caused by a lot of reasons as you know.. I think it's really good that you keep track of when you get sleepy and what may be causing it.
Sometimes we stay wound up so much that when we are not wound up we get really sleepy. I know that happens to me. As frustrating as that can be, I know that it's good to sleep and rest sometimes when our body is just telling us to do it for no apparent reason.
It's not always bad when we are sleepy but diet and routines have a lot to do with it and sometimes we just have to push through sleepiness to get stuff done, that we wanna get done and then other times it feels so good just to sleeeep. 😴.
It's OK.
@IsayUncle well I know I really have to keep track of carbohydrates and sugar. Thing is, the drink I had this morning only had 3g of carbohydrates and 1g of sugar. I was going to get a healthy vegetable and juice blend but then I checked the label and the one I chose was better for me (and cheaper).
Sometimes it seems like no matter what I eat, I get extremely tired. Sometimes it seems like it might be better not to eat anything at all but I know the dangers in waiting too long to eat as well.
from last week, my taxes are almost done. i just need to sign the paperwork, which is a win. i thought it would take longer but they were a lot quicker this year.
i have a communication with someone that i need to finalize and hope to have it figured out by the end of this week. i'm working on it as i feel up for it, so it's just one of those things. it's pretty important, so need to give it the time it needs too.
@fearlessWriter78
GOOD JOB! 😀
I rescheduled my jobs to have this time free so it is important to stay diligent.
The "PUSH' factor is because one of my dogs is chasing mototrists & bicyclists and the season is going to explode on my scenic road, with the spring weather.
I still have to stick to my routine also. 7:31AM: Clean kitchen.
@IsayUncle You've got a lot going on. 😬 Tbh the toughest on the list would be the house guest lol. I wish you the best of luck with teaching the dog not to chase vehicles and bikers. I know that behavior isn't safe for either of them. I'd get the fence up first I think? That way everyone is safe until they get the command mastered. Although you have to do what works best for you. Cheering you on!
@mytwistedsoul
Hey, how's things?
thanks, & Yea, fence first, but much to do to make the room and set up. It'll be a good all inclusive type of accomplishment week. i hope 👍, ithinkican ithinkican thinkican ........ 🤣
@IsayUncle Hopefully it goes quicker and easier than you think. It always irritates me a little when I have to deal with a bunch of things before I can do the original thing I was planning on doing 😬 Kind of why I've been trying to organize things better here - I should try harder though 😜
YEP, The biggest cause for procrastionation! Glad I'm not the only one! 😁 It's a conundrum sometimes.... BUT WE can beat it! 😅
So I've double-checked everything , left comments on the spreadsheet explaining why things were saved a certain way, and I have two names left to do on the other report. Still done with everything ahead of time and I can focus on the lab before I leave early.
Got a tuition refund so I made some bill payments (got that hospital bill down to less than $500 & it was a couple of thousand to start with!) and got the dog some dry food (she's close to running out). Going to get some groceries at the healthier store that I can't get to that often--which is why I elected to leave work early (still have over a hundred hours of vacation time) and I'll probably go to the little coffee shop down from where I get cat food to have lunch before I get the bus that will take me to the store.l.
@Enthenia
Yayyy. All sounds good! 😀
It'a been a crazy day.
Try to get everything back in it's box before bedtime.
Put shopping away AND make a big juicy cheese burger!... or 2
The thunder roars and the rains pour, as the dogs run for cover!
@ enthenia.... talking about sleepy..... i just got up from a 30 minute nap and still very sleepy.
For Me, it's energy pill and caffiene time, because i have a lot more to do before tomorrow.
i'd like to finish my CBC's
I'm a A bit brain dead, but clean kitchen and fold laundry is possible.
