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.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do Your Best and Get Your rest.
Things are usually much harder then we think. Do your best. Be kind to yourself and Be kind to others.

Positive powers to everyone for this week! (Including myself) Believe the fight is worth it! It really is worth it. Do not let self doubt and tiredness be the last straws. Rest, Regroup, Push on. 👍😀

Sorry i missed a few conversations last week...... I will go back and read them as soon as i can.

I got myself into quite a mess, job and time wise.

My goal This Week Is To, "Adjust My Attitude", To do what I need to, to get things back on track.

@IsayUncle I need to adjust my attitude too. Or maybe I need to get an attitude. I get hit by the idg.af monster. Depression hits harder and harder lately and I find myself isolating more and more. I tried to escape things by taking a poorly planned trip. No cell service or WiFi which is ok except I could've used some help navigating lol. Saw and did some really awesome things but things were still here when I got back. 

I did get the sawmill together (finally got those end bunks) and got 2 trees cut down. 110' and an 80'. They were too close to the house and with the storms we've been getting... better safe than sorry
I hope this week is going better for you Uncle. Sending you good vibes

@mytwistedsoul

Same about the depression....... Do you ever talk to any listeners? (If you want to share)

That's cool about the trip. Sorry about the poor planning and no internet, But glad to hear you got out and about for awhile. AND saw some cool stuff.

Your sawmill looks like a monster! Congratulations! Money maker?.... for your wood projects or lumber sales.... 

Anyway, looks like an awesome mill! I'm not jellus... don't even know how to spell the word!🤣

@IsayUncle I'm sorry you're fighting it too. It's hard. The way it sinks it's teeth in.

I used to talk to listeners more but apparently I'm not depressed but just bored. (pardon me while I eye roll into another dimension) I have too much to do to be bored. I tried to talk to one recently and they ghosted me. 

It's bigger than I thought it would be tbh. I'm a little excited but also nervous to use it lol. It was a lot cheaper than I figured it would be. I'm hoping it'll help make some money because now I don't have to pay someone else to do it and I can cut boards for other people too. It'll make doing furniture so much easier.

That's too bad about the listeners. You can messege me sometime if you want @easytalkfriend. i'm not an active listener but we seem to have some parrellels. (I think so).  Maybe help each other out some. idk, just saying. 🙂.

So you scaaaarred of the big bad wood eating macine? hahahahaha. (But fear = being careful) Be careful!) You'll master it soon enough and then, you'll LOVe IT!

@IsayUncle Thanks Uncle. I might take you up on that! 

😂😂 This had me rolling. Yeah it's a little intimidating with all those big sharp teeth! You're absolutely right though I just need to work with it and get the hang of how to use it. Watch out world! 😜

I'm not sure what my goal this week is. I turned in my 3rd assignment today. My goal was the 20th of next month. Passing everything so far even though the professor says I'm not meeting the APA formatting requirements. I'm reusing a paper that I did for a previous class and there was no formatting complaints. I went and downloaded a template but it looks pretty much the same as what I was using so I don't know what the complaint is.

Didn't fall asleep at work so I guess the breakfast bar I got helped even though the carbohydrates seemed higher than I expected. I think I even brought too much with me but I didn't have flutters like I get sometimes so that's good.

I suppose a goal for the week is keep the dog happy. It's getting close to when she can't be out for long because of the temperature.

@Enthenia Hey way to go on the assignments! I guess every professor has their own idea of the formatting requirements? It's awesome though that you're passing everything (I never had a doubt though because you put a lot of effort into what you do) 

Do you have an area that you could set up a splash pad for doggo? Does she like to play in water like that?

@mytwistedsoul well I did find afterwards that the layout for the pictures had changed. I have fixed it and I can resubmit the previous assignments.

The dog isn't afraid of water (jumped into the shower when I first got her) but the apartments don't allow pools and there's no hookup for a hose. We did play in the courtyard for a bit last night but after the 4th throw of her toy, she trotted home. She was done with the heat.

@Enthenia It's good you can resubmit them. It's good you beat the deadline you gave yourself too so that you have the time and opportunity to resubmit them. 

Oh well that's a bummer. I can understand why they wouldn't want things like that sitting around but that would be a nice way to beat the heat for you and her. She jumped in the shower 🤭

@mytwistedsoul I had some sort of response last night but I forgot to send it before I fell asleep. I have no idea what it was about. I know it had something to do with the dog but that's it. 

I think it had to do with her intelligence. Yesterday we took the trash out and I threw her toy a couple of times. I think she's figured out that it's too hot for her because she tried going home but I called her back. When she did it again, I realized what she was doing and we played inside with her toys. It was at least fifteen degrees cooler inside than outside.

She and the cat can be demanding at times but I'd rather deal with that instead of other things like work. At least I know they care. Work seems to be a passive aggressive environment.

@Enthenia Aww that's ok. I lose posts I'm writing all the time , usually because I hit the wrong button.

Oh she is smart! 😊 She said "we can do this inside for longer because it's cooler!" If it's that warm there I can't say I blame her. It's still on the colder side here yet. Its in the high 50's, low 60's here during the day. And it rains all the time it seems lately. 

I agree with you there! I wonder definitely rather deal with demanding pets too! At least they don't keep changing things. They're straightforward, eat, play, sleep and potty breaks in between. Plus they have the added benefit of being soft and cuddly. 😊

@mytwistedsoul I wish it were in the 60's here. She loves that kind of weather. Let her play in the courtyard a bit again last night. Scared a lady who was cutting through to check the mail. The dog carried her toy home when she was done. She stayed out maybe for fifteen minutes. That's why I don't take her all the way to the dog area. 

Halfway through my 4th assignment even though I said I'd wait on it. And we're actually having a meeting in the office!! Well more like a remote one since they scheduled it for a Friday and I'm the only one that goes into the office on a Friday. 

Apparently they want to clarify things. If there were standardized procedures, regular communication (last meeting we had was in November I think), etc. there wouldn't be this confusion.

@Enthenia Lol! 🤭 I feel for the lady but it's kind of funny too. Which probably isn't very nice of me. Aww yeah, you know she's had enough when she takes her toy and heads home! Bet she looks back to see if you're following her 😊

Hey kudos with getting the jump on the 4th one already! I think it's great that you moving along at such a good pace!
Whoa! They're finally having another meeting?! 9 months after the last one... and they wonder why things don't run smoother? They should have one every month at least! They should be open to suggestions from employees. They should be asking how they can make things run better. Well, you know all this better than I do of course. I'm frustrated on your behalf. You need better equipment! You need better boss too but that's another story lol

@mytwistedsoul yeah. If there were actual leaders who actually lead and get involved, the job wouldn't be as bad. But socializing with the "in-crowd" seems to take precedence. 

I'm still trying to figure out the formatting. I tried searching for a template or something. I found a AI thing where you upload your document and it tells you what you should do to fix it so it's APA compliant but even though it's supposedly a free service, you only get so many "free spins" before it prompts you to register.

One would think that with so many students, there would be something out there that could help. There's plenty of examples out there but what I really need is something that points out where I need to make changes in my paper and maybe show how it's supposed to look.

I set a goal to get at least two social outings on my calendar per month. I had been attending book club that I really like, but some emergencies had come up with my daughter and I wasn't able to keep attending. So I'm putting this here so that you all can hold me accountable and that I need to get to another event.

@reservedOwl321 A book club sounds fun! What book were you reading? ( If it's ok to ask)  I hope everything is okay with your daughter. Does the club have another book they're planning on working through?

@mytwistedsoul our book club is very interesting and fun. I had to look it up but it looks like the last book I read for a book club was called bright young women. It is a true crime book about a sorority that was victimized by Ted Bundy in Florida. It was from the point of view of the sorority sister. I have missed a few books such as travels with Charlie because I just got too busy, but I was really looking forward to that one :(

Our next book is a civil war book, so the books tend to be different every time. There are actually a lot of book clubs in my area so I can pick and choose what I like the best. I just don't have time to read more than one or two books each month.

My daughter is doing fine now. There has just been a lot of back and forth with the school that I have been dealing with with her. She graduated and is moving on to high school however.

I was able to get the book for the next book club and if I don't start on it tonight I will start It at the gym tomorrow.

@reservedOwl321 Oh wow that sounds like an interesting book. I some times like to read true crime too. Maybe if you try another club and they haven't read Travels with Charlie yet you could suggest it? I think it's awesome that you have so many choices to choose from! 


Oh that sounds stressful with the school but it's awesome that she's heading off to high school now! Although that's a whole new stresser right there I bet

I hope you enjoy your book!
