2025 Week #31 Weekly Goal Sharing! (Monday 07/28/25 - Sunday 08/03/25)
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

🤣😂😁🤣
@IsayUncle
This week, I want to finish my lab report/literature review before August, spend more time with family, and call my little cousin who's going through a tough time.
@Mykosis
I hope you can get that stuff done this week.
Sometimes a phone call, takes the least time but it's still hard to do for one reason or another. Your cousin would probably appreciate a phone call from you. I'm sorry your cousin is struggling and it'll probably be a very nice/good thing to do.
Good luck with your labs and maybe you could squeeze in a free dinner with your family. 😁
I had to double-check he date. I almost posted on last week's then saw my response and realized that I was on the wrong one.
Um, get all the labs done and try to stay on track with the assigment. The course ends next week. I'm on the 4th lab now. Three left and the paper.
I really need to get the rent taken care of as close to the 1st as I can.
And deal with the new tasks at work because a new month is coming up. Need to do the mandatory training too.
Not get overwhelmed too I guess...
@Enthenia Good luck with your labs and paper! Wow the course is almost done with!
I hope things work out with your rent. That would be worrisome
@mytwistedsoul well the third party support got back to me and sent me scans of the money orders they received. They sent an attachment on the first email. I didn't see it because it was at the bottom so when I was asked to rate the experience, I didn't give them a good rating. I explained my error in a response to the initial email and they sent me copies of the two money orders they had. I thanked them and said I'd add the missing one after work. That will hopefully fix that error.
Signed up for a credit building option on a finance app I use. Only asked me for $10 a month. I figured I could afford that and I need to get my credit back to normal. I know what I need to do. Pay back what I owe. At least I'm ahead of the game on the student loans. I've been paying every month even though there's no due date yet.
I don't think I should celebrate the end of the course yet. I have no idea what the 10th assignment is like. I just need to get on and finish reviewing the 9th one before I submit it.
I survived this morning though. My second bus never showed so I had to take the next one. I still get to work early but I don't like when I have to take the later one because there's more people I need to avoid. Got into people's way three times. First when I left the restroom then when I went to get water for tea. Had to wait until they stopped talking because I couldn't get around them the way they were positioned. This is why I like coming early. Seems to cause less trouble.
@Enthenia That's a a really good idea to pay your student loans back before they're due.
@IsayUncle Hey Uncle 😊
Trying to work through the heat. Hopefully it breaks later today with the storms they're calling for.
Still trying to get rid of this cold. I need to rethink my garden area because I got a groundhog eating my vegetables 🙄 I might just tear everything out and start revamping for next year
@mytwistedsoul
WOW, cold hanging on, is it? sorry to hear that, it does drain the energy.
Sounds like it's time for grounhog stew... veggies already included.. lol 😲 🙄 bummer about the garden. not really a laughing matter with all the work and expectations.... sorry man! 😫
ive been working in the heat but decided i can't afford the electolyte drinks... today i bought supplements to make my own electrolye water. i think that stuff helps a lot on the very hot days.
@IsayUncle Yeah it just doesn't want to let go. 😕 I actually have a recipe for groundhog stew! 😂 I've never eaten it and I'm not desperate for food but boy he's really pressing his luck
Submitted the 9th assignment and did one of the labs for the 10th. There's only two and the paper (thankfully).
Requested a cash-out on one of the apps I've got. Wanted to get to 600 but I'd have to wait another day or so for that and with rent coming due... Then I checked a few sites to verify that the app and the website was legitimate because the cash-out process was a little vague. Aside from a few negative reviews (like 4), it appears to be solid. There was a field under what your game balance is and I guess you're not supposed to fill that out. I was, and it wasn't letting me hit submit. Just waiting for a confirmation email now but the reviews say that can take about a day. We'll see.
Getting the missing money order uploaded when I get home and I think that's about it. Entered in a few contests but I don't have my hopes up for those. Would be nice if I did win one of them but definitely not expecting it.
I took today off of work because I was so tired. I got all dressed and had my lunch packed and was pretty much ready to go. But then I just had to lay down for a minute. Thinking about working in the heat, making long drive, knowing that if I went in I'd have to work a long day to try to get as much done as possible.
I made the choice to sleep for about an hour to feel rested and then use the day to get everything caught up at the house. Or as much as possible. Things here are starting to snowball again.
I would say this was a fair decision today, IF I take advantage of it and be productive. Otherwise it was just an excuse and will be a regrettable waste of time.
I'll be starting off with the basics like cleaning the kitchen and doing some cooking.
@IsayUncle You got this! Don't let it snowball! Get what needs to be done and maybe try to get to bed a little earlier than normal? The heat does take it out of you and forcing it can end up doing more harm than good
@mytwistedsoul
thanks twist. i didn't get as much done as hoped but it wasn't a total loss. 👌
have a good evening! 😀
@IsayUncle Hey that's great! And if you got to rest that's a win too! Good night Uncle!
Got paid today and the paycheck is almost gone already. Have enough to get pet food today and a drink from a coffee shop near the pet store. Forgot to bring my other tea bag for iced tea. Getting the dog some new chews/bones for her to carry around the apartment along with the cat food. Have enough to actually get groceries at that one store tomorrow since I have the day off.
Put $200 in the new option that the rent app has. I'm at least $200 ahead on August's rent. Signed up for an offer one of my budgeting apps had. Wasn't going to because it's more games and I really have way too many games as it is but some of the offers were in the hundreds so I figured "why not?" One of them is a 3D matching game similar to one I already downloaded but I think I like the mechanics of this new one more. No ads after every level you beat which is nice. And this one has actual goals you're supposed to meet. It's not just blindly matching three of the same objects.
I just can't get so focused on it that I don't do my final lab and the paper for the assignment. I won't be able to get much accomplished academically tomorrow since I have the day off. The dog will the thrilled when I turn my alarm off tomorrow morning and go back to sleep. She knows when that happens, she gets to play outside with her toy in a few hours.
At least I'm ahead a little bit on the rent for next month which takes a lot of the stress away.
@Enthenia It's frustrating how quickly bills and other expenses take up a paycheck so quick. But I'm glad you were able to get ahead on the rent alittle and have some left for groceries. Good luck on that final assignment and I hope you have a nice peaceful day off from work and tucker the pup out!
@mytwistedsoul Well she'll be happy since she won't get crated up tomorrow. I can let her roam free when I go to the store or the dentist but she can't be loose all day long. Tried that when I first got her. It didn't work.
@Enthenia Yeah sometimes too much free time can get them into trouble! I hope you have a productive and relaxing day tomorrow!
Made it to the store. Got the dog her bones. Got some salads marked down and a really big steak for about $10. Also managed to get some dish soap and looked at the cat selection. They don't have as much as they used to. Was going to get some of the salmon lunch kits that they had but the section was empty.
Got $600 on the rent app's deposit account. This is really going to help me. I just need $280 and I can meet my obligations. The rent app cover's half of the rent if I make the first payment. Then I pay them back later. So I can conceivably put funds in this new deposit option throughout the month which is great because once those funds are there, nothing can happen to them.
The dog is working on one of her bones so she's happy now. I'm not sure if I'm going to read another book or play a game now that I've cooled off from being outside. It wouldn't have been as bad had I remembered to bring my umbrella but going back after leaving the dog just to get that would be difficult. At least, leaving again would be difficult.
I don't know if things are going to be better this month but at least I won't have to worry about eviction notices or legal fees.
Got an email from the rent app saying I am good to go for August. Also went to the store close to me this morning and got stuff for under a hundred. Spent less than what I was expecting which was good. I miss the days when groceries cost half as much.
Still working on the games and apps. One of the new ones can pay out $500 if I do all the tasks. Some of them require paying into the game. Not sure if I want to do that or not.
Now I have to go. My cat is paging me...
@Enthenia
Oh, That's wonderful news. I'm putting both your posts together.
You wouldn't have this wonderful bit of good news if you hadn't been trying so hard. I really lke the idea of that rent app. CONGRATULATIONS about getting ahead a little bit. You deserve that and so much more! 🤗.
At my age.... these grocery prices / living expenses are an outrage. I believe the goverment(s) financially plan exhuberent price increases at generational time transitions. I won't spend a 5 dollar bill for something that used to cost $1.25 a year ago..... i won't do it. and everything is $5 or more now. I just buy the basics and discounted goods.
i hope you had a good weekend! AND Congratulations again.
It's not easy but you're getting there. Keep it up. 😅
@IsayUncle not sure if I'm getting there or waylaying things. Need to get back to the games. Fell asleep again. Not sure why. I had plain yogurt this time (ran out of the normal kind and the kind I use generally have low sugar) and I did put some jelly on that I got at the healthy store. I've had it before. It's got a low sugar count too. Maybe 4%. I didn't really have much else aside from potatoes and pork sausage and the egg. That shouldn't have made me sleepy.
Got up a couple hours later and had a bit of chicken salad along with other salad items. I need to play with the pup again. She's waiting. Well, now she just went out on the patio. I think she wants to sunbathe. The old dog did that sometimes too.
Will play a few games later once the mobile has charged. Still need to do some of the daily tasks on a couple of them.
@IsayUncle weight loss journey goal reached: Get < 260 lbs. once hit above the 400 lb. mark. yall have any idea how hard it was to have to give up my Hot Pockets for a year? ;D :D
@ChillTexan314
