2025 Week #30 Weekly Goal Sharing! (Monday 07/21/25 - Sunday 07/27/25)
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.

@IsayUncle thank you for everything you do!!!!💕💕💕
hmmmm…. I did my journaling 5 out of 7 nights last week ⭐️
that was a win in my book …. LITERALLY
THIS WEEK—Id like to make my mornings a little more gentle.
I wake up everyday stressed out. What time is it? What notifications are on my phone? How much money is in my bank account? What to wear? What to eat? What’s for supper? What to do? And now that I’ve had an anxiety attack and cried—can I go back to bed?? 😭
not a good way to start the day
I would like to find some consistent that I can continue when I return to work too instead of rushing out the door. (My medical leave can be good practice for that.)
I’m rambling. So if I can just find 1 thing that makes morning gentle. I’ll take it!
@peachThinker662
You're welcome and Your not rambling, Your fine.
That IS a BIG WIN. Great job on the journaling. 😃... keep it up!
I understand getting so overwhelmed and anxious with so many morning obligations, It's exhaustive and i'm sorry you're struggling to the point of shutting down.
There are only so many minutes in the morning. Have you considered writing a list of repetitive things you do every morning "Repetitive" (Not weekly or daily chores). Repetitive morning tasks could be put into time slots and when you wake and follow that list every morning. Experiment with only 2-3 things, and if you like that, add things. Leave a window of time for wake up time, water, coffee. sitting for a minute. (I'll try to post a picture of my morning routine later this week).
Good luck this week.
Ok, I will try this idea. Thanks for the great information 💜
Getting out of bed is a must !!!!
@peachThinker662
Oh, good i hope it helps. i hope it's ok with these ideas. one idea at a time to sort the tangled struggle. u can do it! 😀
Yes, it is.... why get out of bed?.... let's say, because your coffee time is 6am -6:15am.... just saying, 😁 you don't want to miss your first step.
Whatever your first step is (set it), is the mindset.
@IsayUncle
Monday I woke up with plans set the day before. Today I had an appointment. Now for Wednesday…. I’m going to try and follow my new bedtime routine. I got some chamomile lotion and clean sheets. The phone will be put down at a time too.
Wednesday: I need to get out of bed to eat breakfast. Check my phone. take a shower brush my teeth and hair and get dressed. Make phone calls as needed. Laundry. Lunch. Afternoon appointment.
@peachThinker662
That sounds really good. for a lot of people, i think , they think that is simple stuff. NOT ME, I think that is a lot and i hope you do real well with it all.
you will do well 😁.... getting out of bed, really is the hard part 😅... (for real) but you got this!
I appreciate your honesty and validation ☺️
@IsayUncle
I'm so busy all week caring for others, I never do anything at all for me and I need to start finding a way to prioritise this 💕💜
@Amanda84
Yes. Yes. You do. You’re amazing. And you can’t fill someone’s cup, when yours is empty. 
♥️
@peachThinker662
Ah thank you, you are so easy to talk to and such a genuine soul, alot of people have been making me doubt my abilities on seven cups this week, so your kind words have a greater effect than you could know 💕💜
@Amanda84
I’d like to think that people in the beginning of their journeys can have that effect on people. Set boundaries my dear. Don’t let them doubt your capabilities. You rock 🤘 ♥️
@peachThinker662
I needed to hear that, thank you 💜💕
@Amanda84
I'm going to cheat and mimic @peachThinker662 sentiments. They are spot on.💗
I'll add, that I think you bring a genuine warmth to 7 cups with your posts. It would be a big loss if they were not there.
Take some positive time to yourself if you need to.... totally normal and we all need that 😁..... BUT NOT because others are making you doubt yourself. You're awesome!
Remember, Sticks and stones?.... the childhood rhyme.
@IsayUncle
Thank you 😁
I never care what others say, but when they are preventing me from helping other men ers by telking lies, it annoys me 😁 Thank you for your kind words 💜💕
@Amanda84
yea, that is really frustrating. 😔
Really need to start on the labs for the 8th assignment tomorrow. Didn't get to them today. Got an email from the coach because I have about three weeks to get three assignments done not counting labs. Gathering data takes so long. Copy from one source, paste to another, switch off the dark mode because I'm being thoughtless saving information while it's on, sort everything, make it easy for the leads to read or else they'll complain...
Checked the insurance page. The request is still processing. Need to pay the court fee still. Doing what else I can to get funds. Hopefully it will be processed soon because the apartment will be calling me if I wait too long. I'd like to be able to not worry about finances for once in my liffe. It's too bad I was removed as a representative for the class action suit I was in. I'm still a claimant but they did some further processing and only 15% of the representatives met the new criteria.
Of course, I'd like not to be able to worry about diet and food as well but I don't think that will go away any time soon...
I have three minutes before I need to clock out so I'd better start closing up shop.
@Enthenia
Wow, you have a whirlwind of things going on this afternoon.
i hope you can decompress wit the pup and kitty when you get home.... a little bit anyway. financial insecurity is alwys so pressing and just horrible. ☹️
Good job getting the 7th lab done, i guess you did if you're working on the eighth. good luck.
@IsayUncle I haven't checked on the grades for the past two assignments so I don't know if it's a good job or not.
I was able to do a bit of gaming and I got some drivers updated. I listen to tracks on my computer and the volume gets erratic at times which is really annoying. It can go from 60 to a hundred percent in a few seconds.
Right now, I have to play with someone again. She's waiting...
@Enthenia
another day done. have a nice morning tomorrow.
ps... that volume stufff. arrrrgh! i get it! 😂
@IsayUncle well I found something that scans and updates drivers. Have done it manually but it still happens. I was okay with it until they wanted me to pay (didn't have the money even with the discount) so I went to remove it and a message came up that said I could get the paid version free if I didn't remove. So I stuck with it. Haven't updated all the drivers it says I need to do because most of them are for things I'll never use but the volume seems to be working.
Got two labs done. Apparently I could use MySql for the assignment. It's been awhile since I've used that language so I'll look into it more tomorrow.
Got the check from the insurance company and the deposit is pending with the bank. Just waiting for it to clear. About $20 less than what I was expecting because I opted for the express option but it'll still help clean things up.
Waiting on dinner to cook. The dog was playing with the cat but the cat went to hide somewhere so I guess I'm on deck again.
Um, $22 on the games for one site and almost $30 on the other and the one I found that's actually legitimate, I'm at $280 but I have to wait until $300. I want to go over that amount though. And, I did a Bitcoin miner. Right now the profit is only $.03 but once I can get money ahead to upgrade...
I figure the miner is no worse than some of the games I've been doing. Most pay like a penny if you install and start playing and the amount slowly goes up. With the miner, there's no expiration date on it so I'll be earning every day and it'll be more once I can do an upgrade.
I won't be an overnight success but maybe I'll have a bit of financial stability again.
Got the 3rd lab done and started on the paper for the 8th assignment. Not as difficult as I thought it would be. The lab actually explained things to me for once.
Cashed out $29 from one of the gaming apps. Was trying to get it to a larger amount but it was stuck at 5M coins all day so I thought I might need to transfer the available balance so it could calculate properly. The fees for transferring if from *** to my bank account were nominal and the transfer was fast because I had everything set up already.
Trying not to panic because the funds from the deposit are still on hold. Without it, I'm $500 short.
Back and chest have been hurting but that could be anxiety. Well I carried a box from the package lockers to where my mailbox is because I thought the other package would be there. Got the powder today and sprinkled a bit around the trouble areas. I've used it before with other pests. Anyways, I think my back is hurting from carrying the box longer than I should have. Could be my mattress too. Need to replace it. Definitely don't have money for that.
Once again it feels like no matter what I do, nothing changes. I get halfway unstuck then I'm caught in the undertow again...
Deposit cleared yesterday but didn't get the money orders until this morning. My five days of discomfort started Friday and part of that involves me getting overheated and tired more easily than normal. Was one of the reasons why I got up late yesterday morning. Then I got tired after eating and it was worse than usual. I was going to try and go across the street to get the money orders in the afternoon but it didn't happen.
Told the dog this morning after we came back from playing that I had to get the money orders this morning. I can't afford to be locked out. Still need to get the court fee paid. Got a few groceries while I was at the store so I can't do it now. Found a small broom set on clearance that I thought would help me get the litter out of the corners and it did. Also got up a lot of the dog fur so it eliminates the need for a handheld upholstery rake that I was going to get for the carpet.
Fell asleep playing games last night so the one that's earning me the most isn't me earning too much today because I didn't do it yesterday. I was going to but I was catching up on one thing and then I guess I got sleepy.
Got some typing done on a story that I've been working on for a while now. Haven't done that in a while. Was playing with the dog for a bit but she's out on the patio right now. It has been three years since she came to me as an unexpected gift.
Um, I guess that's it. Just figured I should let the people know what was going on who were wondering...
@Enthenia
Hi Enthenia, thanks for posting. i've been running silent this week but i like hearing your stories. I lumped them together a little bit here, as we finish up another week.
I won't be an overnight success but maybe I'll have a bit of financial stability again. I am really impressed with your success in this area.... not getting rich but definetly a little financial boost. Good for you. Good luck with the bit coin mining! 😏
Once again it feels like no matter what I do, nothing changes. I get halfway unstuck then I'm caught in the undertow again... It's tiring to have any pain and especially back pain, im sorry. sounds like you moving forward with the college courses. Growth comes in little bits, but they are solid.... setbacks come with a lot more drama but they pass. Try not to get discoraged. you are pushing forward and building. i know it does'nt feel like that .... but you are, believe it.
Um, I guess that's it. Just figured I should let the people know what was going on who were wondering... Glad to hear the deposits cleared WHEw, that must be a relief!
Happy 3 year anniversary with the pup YAY!. Ad i hope your insect problem is getting managed.
YOU READY TO START NEXT WEEK on the upside with your rent paid! 😁😊👍.
@IsayUncle not sure if the rent is actually an upside since it was nearly a month late.
Moving forward in reverse (which is actually an album title from a band whom I don't know is still around or not) seems to be a talent.
This is the only venue I have for speaking so I figured I'd keep the people who were following although it's only one or two and I don't really know why. Nothing remarkable here.
Got two labs done for the 9th assignment. 5 more to do and the paper. Hopefully they aren't too involved and the connection holds steady. Had to refresh one of the labs like six times just so I could type the codes in.
@Enthenia
I like listening to all genra's of music on YT.... I'll listen to this album by Saliva this morning. They are still touring.
The first song on this album is Superstar! Coincidence ??? U R a Superstar 😁... yes u R!
I hope you advance ur rent timetable. It's a relief to get something paid, even if it's late. But I know what you mean about it not feeling as good as if you are up to date. I hope you get closer to being up to date with your Rent this month.
Have you ever read or listened to the book, "The Richest Man in Babylon". I think it's a very fun interesting read. It's all about money management but told in a very interesting style.
Saliva is a bit harder sometimes, than i listen to a lot, but the story telling / lyrics are great.
Have a productive week, do your best and feel well.
@IsayUncle did you know the name off the top of your head or did you have to look it up? The last album I have from them is 10 Lives. I don't remember how I started listening to them. I think the radio. Sometimes I listen to bands based on reviews I find. Eisbrecher, Kamelot, and Opeth were like that. I buy the actual disks because I have a hard copy of them and I can store them on the computer and then if something goes wrong with my SD card (which happens sometimes), I can just transfer the files that have gone missing. And, I don't have to listen to commercials (which I don't like doing). I don't know how many days the media player would play if I just left it on music. I don't even have all my disks stored in it still.
I'm not a superstar though. Most of my days are spent mitigating the results from the wrong decisions I make. Seem to be great at that. Making the wrong choices I mean. Many times the options seem like they're the best but they aren't.
@Enthenia
definetly had to look it up.... it's fun doing stuff like that.
btw.... that is a great title to ruminate on. moving forward in reverse... lol. moving forward part is good, just hard doing it backwards all the time. 🙄
@IsayUncle well my life has gotten progressively worse. Received an email from the platform that processes the rent (after the office closed, naturally) that there was a duplicate payment. Checked the balance and now it's $200 more than it should be and while I was typing this response, the computer decided to restart. FML big time. Today was the last day to do the rent. I have three $500 money orders sitting on my table and the system doesn't recognize one of them. I'm going to have to find time tomorrow to get this straightened out.
The office doesn't accept payments in the office and I don't know what happened with the money orders unless I scanned one twice. I tried looking at the numbers but it was the platform's numbers, not the check numbers. I'm going to be concerned about this all day while I'm trying to work and get my assignments done. The dog tried to console me because when the computer decided to shut down, that was the final straw. It seemed to be yet another proof that my life is a shambles and no matter what I do, nothing goes right. Here I could go on with ifs, shoulds, and buts. Unfortunately, speculating is not going to change the fact that I have a crisis that I need to fix pretty much yesterday.
This is my life. This is how it's always been and will always be. Nothing I do is right. I really don't get why I keep being permitted to rise in the morning.
Emailed customer support for the payment platform. They responded at five something this morning saying they would look into it. Have not heard anything else. No phone call from the apartment. I was expecting it. The extra fee that's on my balance is for August's rent, not last month. As it stands now, I've got $500 sitting on a money order and there's not much that can be done about it. I can't submit it again until I know which one they didn't receive. Thought I had done them in sequence but I'm sure this is my fault too.
It's just so screwed up and frustrating. I mean, I'm trying to get things in order and ahead of the game but per usual, nothing I do is working. I am a walking disaster. I can't do a Pollyanna attitude. Not when everything goes to the wayside like this and it seems like it's never ending. Every time I think I have things on track and I see the light, I get broadsided by a semi.
Why do I keep on? I know. The animals. There really is nothing else.
@Enthenia
NO POLLANNA HERE! That totally s***ks! Arrrrrgh.
Bulls***t Bu;;Sh***t
I thought you had this months rent paid....... 0r is this for august ... by august 1st!
I can't tell you what happened to me yesterday.... pushed hard for 2 days beyound my limits..... and then at the finish line something broke setting me back from a different direction....
yea.... no polliana.... pardon my foul language please but f****k it! I'm ***!
OK OK OK... tomorrow will be better, i can only hope.
@IsayUncle I thought I had but they claim I submitted a duplicate and the difference is tacked on to August's rent so my prospective rent for August is more expensive than what I was expecting. I asked if they could verify which ones went through and I can resubmit the one that wasn't captured but I haven't had a response from them. Aside from "we're looking into this matter".
Nothing from the apartment office which wasn't surprising since they don't take payments there. Why would they deal with it? All these third parties for various things can be helpful but annoying when something goes wrong because you don't really know who to get in touch with. The apartment office or the third party who is handling whatever aspect of the rental property that they're handling.
Sorry about the injury. I have to play with someone again. She's watching me.
Um, I can submit the 9th assignment tomorrow. Just have one subject to finish and then review the paper.
@Enthenia
ththat's crazy about the rent. I'd have to have accountability. That doesn't even make sense to me.
@Enthenia
ps hope u get it sorted and stay in front of it. i know u've been trying ... i hope u get there
@IsayUncle well the missing one was accepted today (once I submitted it) so that's straightened out.
