2025 Week #35 Weekly Goal Sharing! (Monday 08/25/25 - Sunday 08/31/25)
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.

As I Author this thread, I feel a little guilty because I cannot respond to the comments or replies in a efficient manner.
Pleeease in my absence, Please support each other.
This is week 35 of the year 2025. This year of 2025 my goal is to try to become financially secure. For the past three years, I have studied and I had persevered with investments to make this year a turning point for me.
I have 18 more weeks in 2025 to become financially secure. And sadly this is taking my time away, (selfishly) from responding effectively on this thread.
Believe in yourself, please keep posting, you are not alone and you are being heard.
@mytwistedsoul
thank you so much for your support and involvement!
I wish i was as cute as her.... But alas, hopefully my thanks is enough. 😁. you're awesome!
@IsayUncle 😂 Your thanks is definitely more than enough. 😊 I'm happy to help when I can.
@mytwistedsoul
thanks bud, I hope you do well this week and have abgreat day today! 😃
@IsayUncle Thanks! 😊
I just want to survive this week. I think that's more than enough for now...
@Enthenia Hang in there! 💜 Sending good vibes your way
@mytwistedsoul thanks! I happened to check my application and it was approved (even with me not being certain about that one address). Just waiting on the deposit to my main bank account. Had some returned items so I'll have to see what I need to pay again. But at least I will be able to eat. Feeling cold again this morning and I really think it's because I'm not eating like I should.
At least this will only be temporary.
Um, I have to send the lab a technical ticket and I need to copy the professor on it. I got a respose about retaking the previous course but I haven't looked at it yet.
@Enthenia Hey that's great news! That has to be a relief! I hope it doesn't take too long for it to be deposited. I must admit I was worrying about you. I know there's not much I can do to help but I was still worrying
@mytwistedsoul the deposit went through and I was able to make the payment that I was a week and a half behind on. Now there won't be any more calls. Got my bus pass and some groceries for the end of the week. Also got the cat some treats.
I'm glad my account is positive again. Now I don't have to worry about rent for September.
@Enthenia This is really great news! I am so happy for you! Deep breath and a sigh of relief! It's so wonderful that you're caught up on bills and don't have to worry about September rent!
@Enthenia
Congratulations, Whew! Happy for you. 🤗
@IsayUncle , @mytwistedsoul thanks! And that deposit I initiated went through. finally. Checked my secondary account. If I want to do deposits in the future, I will definitely have to plan better. I may just do gift cards. They seem to go faster and there's no processing fee like PayAmigo (if I use the actual name, it'll redact it). The release of the funds take a while too. Like, right now I can only have $6 that I can touch but I have $40 pending. Still, I've had $30 that I've withdrawan so that's not too bad.
Working on the last part of the lab. Actually, it's already done, I just need to input it into the lab page. Need to start looking for those peer-reviewed articles so I can get the assignment done. Getting used to my new desk at work. It faces a different direction than what I've become accustomed to and the monitors are different but I have to deal with it like so many other things that I don't really have a choice about.
I don't like peer-reviewed articles. The one I'm trying to read has grammatical errors, spelling errors, etc. These are supposed to be "scholarly" and "academic" and full of higher thought. If the one I'm reading through is an example of higher thought, what was so wrong with my last papers in my previous class?? They weren't this bad.
@Enthenia I noticed that the gift cards seem to process faster. The place I go through always says it can take up to 48 hours but usually I have a code in a few hours for Amazon.
@mytwistedsoul well English is not the first language but the fact that it was actually published somewhere... I'm up to page 5 but it's just slow. It's not like the concepts are difficult to understand but the way they are presented...
As for the other course, I have to re-enroll. The academic coach is working on that.
And, I'm not the only one who fails to see the sense in the desk shuffle at work. One of the girls from the corporate office had an incredulous look when she was told that they want the corporate people on one side of the room. It's nice to know management is using its time wisely by making all these hard and crucial decisions...
@Enthenia You have to re-enroll? Does that mean you have to pay for the class again too? Do they give you any credits towards the work you've already done?
@mytwistedsoul I don't think so. The classes are on subscriptions so I can take as many as I want for the same price. Since I already have an active class, I should be good.
Discovered pest control was in the apartment today. Wasn't doing a good enough job keeping them at bay. Now the people in the office probably think I don't clean. Yet another instance where I should have been able to take care of everything no expenses barred and I failed miserably.
Also failed in writing the paper today. The other three articles I found were better constructed and I can actually use them in my paper. Hopefully I won't totally screw that up too. There's so little that I don't completely mess up.
@Enthenia
I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty confident that if you're living in an apartment, you're not the only one with insects. They're probably trying to ridthe whole building of insects so they have to go into people's apartments for that. I'm just surprised that they didn't tell you about it. That doesn't even sound legal to me.
"Failed miserbly" , "Failed again" , "I completely mess up".
Dear Enthenia, Life is very hard. It is most of the time, for a lot of us. We all, "don't succeed" numerous times, over and over again. As easy as it is to start believeing, everything is our fault and we are not good enough, simply, is not true.
This is not a cotton candy, plush, plush response. Sure, sometimes we can do better, but 90% of the time, if we are doing the best we can...... then everything else is not our fault...... it's our battle. AND each of our battles are specifically designed to us personally.
To blame ourselves makes it easy to quit trying sometimes, and on some level, I guess it feels good. But it's kind of like smoking cigarettes..... it's a relief for a moment but it does more harm than good.
I'd say them letting bugs in the building to begin with is thier fault and you should be rewarded for your efforts and reimbursed for you time, inconvenience and expenses.... Not everything is your fault.
"I did not succeed this time because....." (my body and mind was tired)-[I rested, but will try again],
"I did not succeed this time because....." This leaves room for hope and solutions.
"I did not succeed this time because....." {VS} "I have failed and am a comlete failure" (Choose which outlook you think will improve your headspace, hence your growth)
I did not succeed this time, but I have not failed yet, because I haven't quit trying.
I am not a failure because I'm a fighter!
Sometimes I doubt myself, because it's hard and I get weary.
but I'm not a failure, just a very weary and tired fighter.
@IsayUncle well like I told an owner of one of my pup's fiends, it's the first time in a decade I've had such problems. I did have issues in the past but I was able to get it under control. It's just they're probably keeping a tally in the office. My problems with the rent, the bugs...they'd take any excuse to get people who have been here a long time out so they can up the rent 3x or even 4x. That's why I'm worried. I can't afford any place else because I would be paying 3x or 4x more than what I'm paying now and it wouldn't be close to anything. Here, I'm close to work, grocery stores, my doctors, etc.
But it seems like my efforts and opinions really don't matter because outside influences take precedence. My efforts are never enough and it just gets annoying and I'd like to just chuck it all in but I can't. It's a strained existence and it really does seem that no matter what I try, it's never enough or not even correct. And I have repeated myself here but I've got someone staring at me waiting to throw a ball...
So I also found a lime product that I can sprinkle around the outside of the apartment. Just once a month and it's still effective even if if gets wet. Over 6k reviews at 4+ stars. I'm going to try it. I really don't want it to happen again. And it wasn't like I was neglecting things. But, people don't care about the efforts you put in, they just care about the outcome and that you didn't fix things properly.
