 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.

Hello everyone. 

I'm sorry I'm not able to respond as much as I usually do.

I've been working super long hours and most of the time, I'm dog tired and brain dead. 😵. As I go through these trying times, I will keep this thread going but may not be able to respond when needed. I'm asking a favor for others to understand and  Please try to support others as your time and mood allows.

Thank you

Please keep writing and posting if it helps.. I do get in here to read them a little bit, so if it matters, you are being heard and thought of. 💗.

I always try to encourage everyone writing in this thread to interact with other threadsters and feel free to show encouragement and support with each other, whenever possible. 

The sweetest of all sounds is praise.” Xenophon

I guess my goal this week is the same as last week. Get caught up with work (still need to do the mandatory training) and not fall behind in school. Never heard back from the coach on the class but I got an email reminding me to set the dates for the assignment in the new class. Guess the previous one is a lost cause. I just did the end of course survey for it and put my grievences in the comments section.

Um, I guess that's it. I wasted too much time doing the survey and I need to get back to work. Have things that need to be completed and I have to start the labs for the new course.

@Enthenia I hope you get caught up with work and get the mandatory training done. You're starting a new class? I'm sorry I missed last week. Did something happen with your last class? What do the labs consist of in this class? How is that diatomaceous earth working on the bug problem?

@mytwistedsoul well the new course is using a lab platform that I've only used once before but it's more user friendly and doesn't have the connection problems that the other one has. It's quite difficult to type commands into a virtual machine when parts of the command get dropped due to connection problems. The only thing that I'm going to have some difficulty with in this new class is the peer-reviewed articles. I've never had to do that before.

I did receive an email from the academic coach--after I sent out the survey. I can  retake the course. I can also reuse the papers I previously submitted. I just have to let them know I am reusing the papers and whether or not I made changes. At least that will give me a chance to fix the formatting since that was the main issue. Hopefully I can get it the way the professor wants it. 

The powder is working although I've had to reapply it in some spots. I also found some professional-grade tubes that I'd purchased and put spots of the substance up around the kitchen area and around the smoke detector. That went off at 4:30 on Sunday because of bugs. The dog was not happy. She got to play with a pug friend this morning though and she was extremely happy. We don't usually see many dogs so early in the morning. Well, we sometimes see the ones she doesn't like or is afraid of....

@Enthenia Oh gosh yeah that wouldn't be any good at all. Oh peer reviewed articles sound a little scary. But it's probably a good thing to get feed back from others aside from the professor 


I'm glad you can retake the course. That has to be frustrating though to have done all that work and have the formatting wrong. I hope everything works out ok with that

I guess if you have to reapply it that means they're getting into it? Oh man that wouldn't make me happy either with the smoke alarm going off. The doggone things are into everything! Aww I'm glad she got to play with her friend! 😊

@mytwistedsoul well I'm actually not seeing them in as many places so I guess that's good. They're more concentrated around the kitchen though which makes sense since that's where the food is.

I have to get onto the college's site and see what I need to do. I also have to get back in the lab so I can finish it. Right now I'm trying to finish what I have to do for work. It's not hard but tedious. Change my display settings because everyone else can keep it on the normal display settings (I have to use high contrast. The normal way makes my head hurt), pull information, format it in a spreadsheet, write a dissertation on why the activity does not appear suspicous, put everything in folders, do background checks if I need to....

I'm doing like six things at the same time per usual. Also I didn't get much sleep but I think that's normal too.
