2025 Week #18 Weekly Goal Sharing! (Monday 04/27/25 - Sunday 05/04/25)
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.

@BlueDarkAurora
Thank you, You too 💗
Let's do it again. 😬...... Happy Monday 😅. Hopefully better than last weeks weak week.
@IsayUncle :O a weak week? I'm sure it had some strong steps<3 This week is a fresh start, it doesn't have to be perfect but we'll try our best cause we are cool like that *-*. I believe in you<3 You’ve got this!
Finish my next assignment and try to remember to check under chairs for remains that pets might have brought in without my knowledge.
@Enthenia Remains? 😬 It's always nice when they sneak things in 😝
@mytwistedsoul I think that's what made the dog sick. Went to put back a chair and found a dead pigeon on the carpet. She must have brought it in from outside when I wasn't paying attention.
@Enthenia Oh gosh yeah! (Smh) They can be so quick and clever when they know it's something they shouldn't have! 😬
@mytwistedsoul or when you leave something good within their reach unguarded. Was gone for a minute or two one evening to let the cat go outside. When I came back, my chicken was missing from my plate...
@Enthenia Oh no! I tried not to laugh because I know it would have made me a little cross if one of my dogs did that but my first thought was - you took her pigeon so she helped herself to your chicken. She made a new 5 second rule 😬😅
@mytwistedsoul it happened before the pigeon. I didn't get mad at her because it was my fault that I left it where she could reach but now I have to remember to relocate the plate when the cat wants something. Also can't leave food near the edge of the counter because she'll pull the container down.
She has a slow feeder dish that she'll occasionally pick up then drop on the floor so she can get the bits of food out that she can't reach. Then I get kibble all over the carpet.
@Enthenia🤣
i mysteriously lost a remote, letting a new dog in the house.
@IsayUncle It was a treasure hunt! You just never got the map! 😮
@Enthenia Aww yeah I can't see you getting mad at her. They are opportunity snackers. She's definitely is a clever girl picking up her slow feeder to dump the kibble out. It is a pain to always have to make sure anything tasty is up and out of reach. Even if it's a second or two they seize the moment 😊
@mytwistedsoul She did it so quietly and left the vegetables on the plate. Fortunately I had an extra piece set aside but I do have to remember that her breed is in the top ten for intelligence so if she is determined enough, she will find a way.
@Enthenia Omgosh she's got ninja skills. They are really smart dogs. She probably already had figured it out when you stood up. Lol my girls never liked to eat vegetables either! I would add them to their food and they would pick every single carrot or green bean out and lay it beside the bowl 😂
@mytwistedsoul she'll sometimes do potatoes and green beans. Carrots occasionally. I used to get the baby ones and give them to her but she doesn't like them now. Same thing with bananas and watermelon but she loves blueberries and cherries.
@Enthenia Blueberries are good for them but I didn't know they could have cherries!
🤣@mytwistedsoul
@IsayUncle 😁
I am done with the lab portion of the final assignment. Just need to do the paper and submit it.
@Enthenia 
Turned in the last assignment yesterday. Need to check my overall grade but I just got hit with the monthly assignments at work and even though they claim we have three weeks to do them in, they really want them done in less than a week.
I also have to deal with people still not understanding how a file system works. Files are supposed to be formatted the SAME way! Why is this such a hard concept???
@Enthenia
Sooooo Easy, Right????! I agree1
There's probably lot's of human flaws why people don't do it. But the two that would make me the maddest would be, just being lazy and not caring how it messes things up. The other one, even worse, people doing it on purpose, thinking it makes them clever and funny.
But I know that there are other reasons too. Some people may not realize the importance of it, others might have learned it wrong, and sometimes maybe it's a it's a missed keystroke or just not paying attention. Sometimes other people have bad days and they just mess things up.
This is it one of those areas the AI will take over the human race with its absolute efficiency.
I know it's super frustrating and I'm sorry when it happens to you. Just work through it the best you can like you always do😊.
@IsayUncle well I got all the ones we had background checks on. Then I went to get the data for another set of reports and found out my password for that had expired. I put in an IT ticket thinking they'd send me a secure email like last time but no. This person wanted me to verify myself with two IDs which I didn't have them he asked if I was in the office. I said yes and I was easy to find because I was pretty much the only one on my side of the office.
He came over and let me do my own password but he wasn't overly articulate and then he seemed to want to argue with me. He said I hit an extra key while I was trying to find the pointer (I don't like track pads) but I didn't because it would have given an error on the password screen. I showed him it was the same but it just felt like he was being condescending.
I was already done with the day (it was 40 some minutes before I left anyway) but it just seems like no matter who I deal with in this company exhausts me.
@Enthenia Glad you got the password taken care of. It bothers me when people talk to me like that. Why is it so hard for people to be nice?
@mytwistedsoul yeah that's the sense I got. Yes I use a laptop but I don't use the monitor or keyboard on it. For my work, I need two monitors and I prefer a mouse and a real keyboard.
My computer at home is like that. Of course I can't used the monitor on my laptop because it won't work. Besides with my eyes, I need to look at a larger screen anyway.
@Enthenia
Yea, I think I know what you mean. I think most of the time when people do that, they are overly insecure themselves. They want to impress other people when they think they know more about something, and then they ooze a sense of arrogance into the solution.
Maybe they see how smart you are and subconciously trying to get your approval. I know that sounds strange but i think it's possible.
Whatever the reason though, I don't like that either. It often makes me feel insulted and sometimes make things worse by ignoring my input or suggestions.
@Enthenia
BTW, good job getting all the background checks done, AND getting tour password back in order. 😀
I'm not doing well at all.
Dog got sick on floor..... Get that cleaned up and then try to take shower.
@IsayUncle Oh man 😞 sorry to hear about the dog getting sick. Really sorry to hear you're not doing well ❤️ How did your appointment go on Wednesday? If there's anything we can do...just say the word. Sending you strength!
@mytwistedsoul
Thanks, I have no history of mental illness in my medical records so I think I opened up a can of worms, asking for help.
I understand they have to run me through the standard gauntlet and test different drugs to help but it seems I simply don't have the energy for it.. The meds they gave me destroyed me for two days. so i won't be taking those again.
Just another effort to improve, leaning more towards failure requiring more effort than I have.
A simple load of dirt for a friend at a reduced price busted the taillight out of my dump truck, wasted a trip on 1/2 a load because it was too wet to load, when it dried up enough the next day to finish the job, Serpentine fan belt on the backhoe shredded for some reason so now it's sitting in the woods needing a repair. As they say, All for naught and naught for all!
Got a little done today to feel better. I plan on working long hours to finish a job this week. (well, next week).
Thanks for the vent channel. 😉 Get your sawmill setup yet?
@IsayUncle Getting on meds is sort of like an bad science experiment.They have tweak dosages. Yeah sometimes trying to do something to help yourself ends up making things worse. And some of meds can have adverse effects. Some times there's things that medication doesn't really help. Like life. Things happen and we gets stressed. Stress can cause depression and anxiety. While meds might help a little but the stressers are still there. For you, you have a heavy workload. There's your chores and then there's jobs you were hired to do. Both pretty big things right? Then add the little things. You were injured and had to take time off to heal. Weather affects the jobs. Equipment breaks. It's a lot of stress. When things go south it's easy to get discouraged. And we can get things running smoothly but then...life happens. Weather happens. Sorry 😅 I know you know all this. Guess I'm just trying to show you how hard you're trying and maybe look at it a little differently? Logically? Maybe 😅
@mytwistedsoul
Ur right about all of that but other people deal with it and flourish.🙁.
hey... at least you r ready for them when then they come in. hope they come in soon. 👍
@IsayUncle Yeah. I'm not one of those people but yeah some do. I'm Sorry Uncle I'm not sure where I was going with that 😕
@mytwistedsoul
That was a great paragraph or message. No apology warrented. I think where you were going was trying to remind me that I'm working really hard.
Help with medication or without medication doesn't deter from the fact that you can see that I'm working really hard and that has a lot of value.
So thank you, very much, for taking the time for trying to bolster my courage and strength. It really helps💓 🙂.
You say you're not one of those people that flourish either. But you also work very hard and it seems that you do succeed on the project you set your mind to. So that's pretty cool have something to be very proud of..
Today I'm trying to get caught up on things I didn't get to last night. Fell asleep an hour after I had a fruit bar and found out that the dog went crazy while I was out. Toys were all over the place. When I became alert enough, it was too late to eat and I went straight to bed after I brushed my teeth.
This morning, the animals tried getting me up at the normal time and at four something there was a mad chase between the dog and cat and I kept getting jumped on. Actually got out of bed at five-thirty and I had a couple of the low sugar cookies I had since I hadn't eaten anything the previous night. Then I took the dog out to play. Had to force her to go home because she lay down in the middle of walking her friends home so I knew she was tired.
Then I went to the store and got a few things. Noticed that I had some difficulty processing things because I hadn't really eaten anything. Did have one of my protein bars before I left for the store otherwise I would have been worse off than I was.
Got back from the store and did some laundry then checked the mail. Did some cleaning then finally had breakfast a little after nine. I really shouldn't have waited so long to eat especially since I didn't have anything last night...
Right now I can't get up and do anything because someone is sleeping up against my ankle...
@Enthenia It's sort of funny how they get so used to our routines that they do their best to see to it we're up on time even if we don't have to be up that early. Sounds like a some what relaxing day. Yep! Let sleeping dogs lie there's a lot of truth to that saying! 😊
@mytwistedsoul it was. It got cooler this afternoon with a bit of rain. Took the dog out earlier than normal because it was overcast. We stayed out over an hour. She's resting now. Got to see her Aussie friend. He really wanted to play with her but she was focused on her toy.
I got two pictures done earlier. Might do another one later but I'm tired too. I'll do my puzzle game for a bit. Still need to vacuum and will need to cook but it's barely five now. Too early to cook.
@Enthenia I'm glad she got to see her friend even though she was preoccupied with her toys 😊 Sounds like you had a pretty nice day. And got to play a game. Plus tired the dog out!
Hey that's great two pictures done already! Your participation scores gone up more? You're almost done with this course if I remember correctly! I think it's amazing the effort you put into the things you do
