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.

I have been able to earn enough money to pay my bills.

(That is a big accomplishment because depression keeps me from functioning consistently)

Hope everyone has a good week. The heat has arrived in many places in the US and abroad. Make sure you stay hydrated and drink lots of fluids! 

Good thing....finally figuring out the sawmill. No longer have to buy lumber. Will definitely make building furniture easier and more profitable. Currently waiting for a customer to decide what wood she wants for a cabinet for her living room. She can choose between cherry, oak,  walnut or cedar.

That sounds like some pretty fancy woods. Don't want too many mis-cuts there. 🤑 😁.

That's pretty cool you can build furniture and cabinets! 🤩

I agree about the heat.... everyones needs plenty of fluids and don't overdo it outside. Including yourself!

@IsayUncle Definitely no miscuts. Measure twice and cut once. Although I measure 6 or 7 times just to be sure because my brain likes to play games 😅

I got triple digit heat indexes happening here 🥵 Lord love a duck but it's hot out

My accomplishment this year so far has been going to the gym consistently. Consistency is hard for me, so I am proud that I've done that. I did have to take a break last week when I was sick, but I went back to the gym again today. After working out I had a water massage :)

My goal this week is the pile of mail I need to get caught up with, and to finish the book I'm working on for my book club.

@reservedOwl321 It's so great that you've been consistent with the gym. I'm glad you allowed yourself to rest while you were sick! 

Good luck with the mail and finishing your book club book. If it's as hot there as it is here today is a good day to just sit and read. :)

Agreed. It is a good day to be inside with AC!

I have no idea what I should strive for this week. Surviving, I suppose. 

As for the other bit, there's nothing to be celebratory over. Still struggling. Just older.

@Enthenia Aw hey we missed your birthday? Tbh I feel the same way about my birthday. It's just another day to me. I'm sorry that you're suffering. Life is just hard. I know we don't know each other all that well but for what it's worth, I'm glad you're here. 💜

@mytwistedsoul no it's next month. I was referring to it being 6 months into the year. I don't really do birthdays though. See no point in commemorating my own...

@Enthenia Oh gosh yeah we are halfway through the year already! And man it is HOT out side! I like summer but when it starts hitting triple digits I start thinking about fall. But then fall means winter is on the way and I really don't like winter. 

Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to jump to conclusions about your birthday. But I'm glad I know now that it's next month!  I'll have to see if you drop a hint about the day til then. 😊

@mytwistedsoul I probably won't. I will be at work just like any other day. It's on a Friday. And it's nothing special. A day like any other.

It has been a little cool where I am but it's not cool enough to let the dog go out and play. I suppose it has but the dog area has hardly any shade in the afternoon so when I do take her out, she doesn't really play....

@Enthenia Yeah I understand that. I'm the same way. Maybe you can get yourself a little treat or something? Doesn't have to be anything big. Even just watching a movie on the couch with the furry kids :)

@mytwistedsoul I don't think she'd stay still enough for me to watch a movie...

So in case people were wondering, I got the rent paid. Had about a hundred left after that so I paid part of it against an outstanding account. Speaking of outstanding accounts, I have about $70 left on the hospital bill and about $50 left on the old credit line I took out from the bank (one of the many ways I was trying to make improvements).

I had just enough for groceries. But, I forgot about two credit payments I had pending so now I'm in the red again. 

I've been playing games in an attempt to get extra money. If I can meet the goals by the deadlines, I can get bonuses. But, I've been getting super tired because of food. I took today off because I thought I'd have to go to a DMV office to renew my ID but I was able to do it online. I kept the day off because I still have over a hundred hours to use and I had planned to do a lot of things but with the way things happen, I never get to do those things. 

Things are extremely tense which has become the norm for me.

@Enthenia

Hi Enthenia, I'm sorry I had to jump ship for awhile this week. With my vehicle is breaking down, and my work piling up, I've missed coming to see how things are going for you.

I read your other posts over there on week #25. I hope they can get the rules changed on your banking account so you don't keep running into problems. Unnecessary problems!!!! Errrrgh!

Wouldn't it be so very nice if we can just have a problem free day. I don't want you to feel alone an isolated by all the setbacks that you experience. You do such an amazing job getting past them. Some people can't do nearly as good as you do. And if you didn't do everything you do you would be worse off. I understand, it gets so tiring and frustrating seems senseless sometimes, but there's always light at the end of the tunnel..... Except for probably me and you. For us when we get to the end of the tunnel, it's dark clouds and rain, and probably the only light that we see is a Thunder strike. Arrrrgh. Hang in there and perhaps we could fight our troubles together. 

You are the definition of tough!!!! But even tough needs a break and some ice cream sometimes.

You really are doing wonderful! Good job navigating the rent and having a little bit of extra, except for those other bills. But you'll get those taken care of. That's amazing that you got your hospital bill and another one down as much as you did. That is fantastic. You are fantastic, even if you don't see it.
YOU ARE!!!

@IsayUncle thanks I guess. I was able to get groceries. Which was good because the cat was out of food. I skipped getting a lot of things which was just as well because the things I was going to get wasn't really good for me. 

Right now, I'm still trying to meet the goals on the various games I've gotten. At $30 so far. Now I have to play with the dog because it's been a while. I also have to figure out how to do a partition. I may be able to use the virtual lab and do it at work on Monday. It's just too stressful to do that on top of everything else this weekend. And, I don't know if I'll go into a post meal food coma or not because I ate waaay too late today and I may have eaten too much.

But the puppy is waiting for me now.

Just a quick HELLO,  @cloudySummer 

I hope your seasonal summer is starting on the upside, of good things! You still doing a little garden and going for walks?

I need to push real hard today.

We have threatening rains forecast so I decided not to go to work. (Working outdoors)

This is the perfect time for me to get my personal stuff caught up for the entire week.

But it is too easy to justify, sleeping and resting all day.

The truth is, I will be completely disappointed with myself if I don't take advantage of this day to get ahead of the game, just a little bit.

Step one. Clean kitchen.
