2025 Week #13 Weekly Goal Sharing! (Monday 03/24/25 - Sunday 03/30/25)
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.

Got cat food (I will be forgiven when I get home. Only had 1 flavor left and she didn't want it) and I submitted the 5th assignment. Now to copy the instructions for the 6th and finish the lab for the 7th...
@Enthenia
OK, sounds good. I see you're working on on a few different assignments at the same time. That seems like a good way to keep getting them closer to completeion.
HaHA... pets are really funny about thier food. I used to thing they'd eat anyting. BUT no way Jose. lol.
I have slipped into a solid depression. I must resort back to my basic core balance chores to anchor here and not be pulled into a deeper depression.
The problem is that i am tired of the monotony of it. i have no beneficial relief mechanism.
@$*! !$%# *%!# ...............................
STEP # 1: LOSE THE PITY PARTY.... LOSE THE NEGATIVE BRAIN SMASHERS...... BREATH...... BABY STEPS.... RELAX..... MOVE FORWARD...... IT'S OK..... HOLD STEADY...... JUST DO SOMETHING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION...... EASY DOES IT, Now go get started on the paperwork. It's important.
(i must admit, that was kind of weird conversation with myself. 😁. but it helped. 😅)
821am: paperwork.
@IsayUncle Hey Uncle I'm sorry to hear that your being hit with depression. I know you work a lot and you work hard. It's understandable there's a lot depending on it and you. I used to laugh when people would ask me about self care - like did people actually do that sort of thing? I mean I know a lot of girls do spas or they get their nails done. But guys? We work - we eat - we sleep. Maybe you need to take a little time for yourself. Even if it's just an hour. Go drown a few worms. Give yourself a chance to recharge your batteries. Play with the dogs - go for a drive or a walk
@mytwistedsoul
I should force myself but that's the kunundrum. i've already lost too much time not doing nothing. it's been a 2 week slow burn into pointlessness.
thx for the suggestion... drowning a worm don't sound bad.
@IsayUncle Guess I'm just worried if the depression gets worse - I know some days it's hard just getting out of bed - let alone get anything done. A little time for yourself might help ease the depression a little
If STEP # 1 did not work, go to step 2.
STEP #2: Try again.
1:31PM: Morning tasks. Do paperwork.
With depression, there is no purpose. With more depression, there is no reason. With knowledge comes the thought.... I must, I can, I will.... just because there's something right about it.
sometimes its just lose and lose
making bone broth... thought cooker had cooled enough
just enough pressure left to blow all the stock out of the pot when i removed the lid. i did not get hurt but 3/4 gallon of premium stock poured all over the top of my stove and all over the floor.
bone broth was supposed to be small bonus, little effort....
Major chore now... No Reward! more detrement.
at a time when i am down.... who needs this S#*! ???
@IsayUncle Oh man 😞 Glad you weren't hurt though
Saturday morning.... Feeling better..... (sometimes do in the morning). Maintain progress untill noon time?
Feeling better. stay motion forward.
Yesterday I didn't get as much accomplished as I'd hoped. I got the AI narration software downloaded. I inadvertently fell asleep while I was waiting for it to be time to meet some school friends who were in town so I left later than intended. The route I had planned to take was inaccessible so I took the route that I took when I had jury duty (the hotel was on the way to the courthouse). Forgot how long the route was. Kept thinking I had missed the stop when I hadn't.
Had to walk halfway around the hotel to get an accessible entrance then had trouble calling my friend because airplane mode was on for some reason and then I forgot to turn the Bluetooth off for my headphones. Was able to connect eventually and had to wait about five minutes for them to show up. Went to a café in the hotel. Had a salad because everything else looked too heavy for me. Talked for about an hour which is excessive for me but we hadn't seen each other in at least a decade.
Took my leave and walked towards the next bus stop because there was an ambulance close to the one I had planned to use. Then realized why when I checked the bus routes, one particular line was recommended. It took me maybe 10 minutes to walk up to it. I thought it was further away. I decided to take that route back and got home close to the time I would have had I been at work
Took the dog out to play after I was home for a bit and we were about to leave when one of her friends showed up so we waited. We got back inside after six and I tried playing a puzzle game for a bit. I was going to do a picture and other things but I fell asleep. Not sure if it was the food or the strain from the day but it was almost nine when I opened my eyes again and decided to go to bed because I felt extremely sluggish.
That screwed up my whole night. Was wide awake at two but managed to go back to sleep until after four. Took the pup out to play and then had a keto cookie when I got back inside because I was hungry from not eating the previous night but then I got sleepy. I had about an hour to kill before I could go to the grocery store. The cookie couldn't have been too heavy because it only had 5g of carbs and 3g of sugar. And, like I told my friends, I can get super sleepy without even having anything aside from a watered down coffee.
It gets really frustrating but I'm going to try to accomplish things today once I get the laundry taken care of.
@Enthenia
i hope your body clock lines back up with your schedule and diet soon.😀
that was pretty cool having a rendevous with long ago friends. 🤩
How did that develope and come to fruition? 🤔
Besides all the distractions betwixt & between, how'd the actual meetup go with your friends? 🍹
@IsayUncle it had something to do with family. They had come by once before on vacation (that was the ten years ago) and one remembered me and wanted to know if I was still in the area. The visit went okay although I had forgotten why I don't like resorts. They're so dark and loud and since this one was closer to the older part of town, the people lounging around the entrance of the building appeared a little more seedy than other locations.
They said they'd try to keep in touch more often but I guess it's also my fault. I never really have anything to say or nothing to report.
@Enthenia
It was nice they remembered you and included you. 😃
@IsayUncle yes. Although I don't recall doing anything that made that big of an impression.
Got the AI software installed. Luckily I had the funds for the $50 annual subscription (down from $200). I didn't know how much the free version would let me do (usually the abilities and options are very limited on free versions) and I know I have at least one other assignment that will need audio.
Installed the open source presentation software and I got a little vacuuming done. Had to charge the vacuum so I have to wait a bit on that. Didn't have post-breakfast fatigue even though I basically had the same thing that I had yesterday. The yogurt and bread was different. Actually, I don't think I had yogurt yesterday and I normally do...
@Enthenia
Yes, i don't usually take free versions either.... it seems just the thing you need most is usually unavailable..... GOOD DEAL ON THE SPECIAL..$$$$. thank goodness for some breaks along the way.
It's just nice to be remembered for being ourselves and not something we did extraudanaire. And it says something nice about the people that take the time to notice it too. There are nice people in our circles. 😃. and very nice when they incude us.
If i had a kid, i'd name him "Gurt"... so i could say, "Yo, Gurt, come help me with this" 😁🤣😂
I didn't feel horrile today but i've still neglected the paperwork.
i am going to try to tackle it now.
Listening to the narration now. Found one that sounds like Sir Christopher Lee. After listening to three or four, it's the best sounding one. Just have to work on the text to get it to sound more natural.
@Enthenia
that's cutting edge stuff.... Wow, so you are making your own AI speech?
@IsayUncle well AI narration since the instructor wants audio. I just used the text to speech option although I had to spell out some things like years, dollars, percentages, etc. (Actually had to spell out etcetera too). I had to send two emails to my work email because the audio file was big. It wouldn't let me send that along with the presentation file. I already inserted the audio into the presentation but I wanted to have the raw file if something should go wrong.
