2025 Week #39 Weekly Goal Sharing! (Monday 09/22/25 - Sunday 09/28/25)
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
Today I got the last few bits completed for the new job.
I do have a migraine. 😩
Think it’s time to head back to bed.
Hopefully, I feel better after a rest and get to the store for my “pick up” order. Trying to make it easy on myself
@peachThinker662 hope you feel better 💓
@peachThinker662
Congratulations on your new job. I hope it works well for you.
Feel better soon.
Get my second assignment done!!! Not sure how successful I'll be since I had a continuation of yesterday today then had to stop a dog fight. Mine wanted to play with her toy and another one wanted to play with the toy too but they didn't want to play together. It wasn't anything major. Mine was telling the other off and the other one was talking back.
And this morning I had to restart my computer because of required security patches. Good thing I fought the urge to sit at my desk early and finish what I need to finish. Not sure if the patches actually fix anything or if they will cause more problems.
@Enthenia Good for your pup standing up for herself! Nothing like dog drama
@mytwistedsoul well, you're premature about that. I need to get it done. Still haven't yet. Getting the stuff from work out of the way. Have one customer to look at, one customer's data to sort and format and two customers to write up. As they're all due today, I have to get them finished first but hopefully I'll have time to get back to my classwork.
As for the pup, we leave when the other dog shows up. Mine doesn't dislike her but she doesn't like the other one jumping in and taking the toy. Fortunately, yesterday mine was already worn out when that dog came to the park. The dog whined a bit because we were leaving but it's better this way. They'd get along if the toy wasn't there but in the afternoons, mine has to take it out. Chasing that ball is her afternoon job. Gave her a choice on which toy to take out and it had to be the ball. She gets so focused on it in the park and I think that's why she didn't like the other dog running interference. Most of the other dogs will chase after her when she's going after the ball and she's fine with that but she doesn't like them taking her target.
Today is ketchup day if I can mustard up enough vinegar to have a spicy attitude. Lettuce be winners today.
Food on the brain? Who... me? Not really, just being goofy.
I really do have a an intense day of catch-up. ON TOP of a very scary situation of property damage of someone else and my insurance uncertainty. The fear of the financial backlash is overwhelming to the point of "almost" not being able to function.
FORCED: First action. Morning chores.
@IsayUncle I mustardmit this was funny xD
@BlueDarkAurora I believe you meant punny
@Enthenia ahah xD
@Enthenia
Ur very punny... 😂 good one.
@BlueDarkAurora
Glad it delivered a smile.
Clever twist! 😆🤣, i mustardmit.
Worry about about an insurance claim has exhausted me.
It may be ok, but i still can't relax until it is done with.
I am breathing easier, and more hopeful everyting will be ok.
I wish I had a local person to confide in or share my nervousness with.
@IsayUncle you can talk about the nervousness here or maybe just do a text scream like AAAAAaaaaaaAaaa xO
@BlueDarkAurora
hfbfwegfioywgfisfcwyfegbiiryefvb LOL..... THANKS 😧. I'll be ok. 🤗
@IsayUncle
@bluedarkaurora
@IsayUncle I believe that 💗
Got my 🍑 to physical therapy. Had a cute little old man compliment my “blouse”. I had a good cry with her.
Made apple dumplings 😋 nice treat today with ice cream
I did not go to a therapy appointment. I just needed home.
Awaiting one more piece of paperwork to start the new gig.
Today is a hopeful day.
A passing thought this morning.
When we give up, we cannot feel the changing of the tide for the better. The changing of the tide is not permanent but it is repetitive. It is subtle and if we seldom feel it or don't accept it, we stay lost and discouraged longer.
Today I am in the midst of the changing of the tide for the better. SO MUCH fear and despondency for the past week, But then.... possibly a favorable turn..... hope. 😀.
With that hope, comes strength, and with that strength, a positive plan is formulated.
Ahhhh, not very exciting though.... start with cleaning the kitchen. 🤔🙄
finished the kitchen, then took a short nap. (all good)
The problem.... i still feel like nappng or sleeping all day!
The solution.... push through it. Do morning tasks. ride the positive tide. (it's not a free ride)
So I get the last two done on my list. The last one took a couple hours to figure out what was going on because there was more than one account, transfers, cancellations, etc. Then I verify that the entries on the spreadsheets are spelled correctly. I have to see if Word changed my proofing selections after it updated last week because I couldn't have used the wrong word three times.
Anyways, I get to where I can do the reports that are due today and I receive an email about the mandatory training. Even though it's not due yet, it should have been done two days ago. I can't win with this job. So my afternoon to attempt to get on track with my schooling is shot again. I literally should just live here. Work is the only thing that matters to this company. . The irony of all this is that most of my coworkers are in the conference room doing a pot-luck/baby shower thing. I felt guilty for going outside to eat for like fifteen minutes.
Got to get these two reports out so I can do the mandatory training because you know I'm totally inefficient...
@Enthenia
You totally did great today. i wish i did something . i didn't and i feel bad about it.
it's too bad you get no recognotion. I think you probably wouldn't like the conference get togethers anyway... but they should be working too or let you take the same time off.
@IsayUncle I don't really care for social get-togethers anyway.
And, I got in trouble for saying something was completed when it wasn't. It was, I just had to put it into the web application. But apparently, I can't send an email until it's in the web application. If I had clocked out, stayed to get it in the web application, I would have gotten in trouble. Got in trouble anyway.
And yesterday they wanted to know my status on a new state license application. First I'd heard about it and it's supposed to be completed tomorrow. This is probably my fault too. I have to be a lowly employee, manager, other departments, etc. all at the same time.
I'm very near the point where I just want to go home and not come back to this place...
@Enthenia I'm not one to use the word hate much but when it comes to your job, I hate how they treat you. I hate how they always have something to complain about. (And no it's not because you're inefficient or don't know what you're doing)You strike me as a very detail oriented person. I understand that it's work and it's a job but they could do something to help boost morale instead of always complaining. They change the way things are done all the time, have lousy out of date systems and programs but always point the finger at the employees. 😐
@mytwistedsoul @IsayUncle well I came in to an email where what I said was apparently twisted (kinda like how I got written up that one time). The manager that actually comes into the office told my manager that I had an appointment with the licensing department. That's not how it went. They said that when I finished the paperwork to let them know and they would try to fit me in. That's not the same as scheduling an appointment but I guess I should have totally anticipated being left off a departmental email and taken measures accordingly (this is sarcasm) just like I'm expected to anticipate everything else. The ironic thing is that one of the mandatory training things I had left was harrassment. What is in practice is contrary to the policy at least in my department but I know better than to say anything. I took someone's adivce a couple years ago and met with someone in HR. That just made things worse. Endure is all I have right now.
And, I had an email from my professor. I told him what had been going on and that I was going to work on the presentation today. Emails to faculty count as engagement but I don't know if this one counts because he reached out to me.
@Enthenia You're right that's not the same at all! Do you keep records of the emails? Just as a sort of cya plan? I don't know that it would really help much because they would just lie anyway.but you would have written proof that way in case they want to write you up again.
@mytwistedsoul I don't keep emails and in this instance, it wasn't an email. I was asked by the manager in passing and I relayed the information. I got the paperwork signed and notarized today and I got started on my third lab assignment! And I was going to start on the presentation but I got hit with ten things that were missing from spreadsheets and folders. I really dislike how they use spreadsheets to track everything or do reports. It's easy for me to get lost in them because you can't alter the standard formatting. For states that have a lot of activity like Jersey, I miss entries. I usually get the names but don't always fill out the corresponding line to state that I reviewed the person. And, now I have to enable editing on everything, affirm that it's safe to copy/move/remove files every single time (and they want files at least in three places), plus it takes three minutes for the main customer folder to repopulate the files just so I can go back to where I was looking even if I just want to copy the entire folder over and you can't stop the process and try to look for the name you want because it has to load everything every single time. I've tried closing File explorer and reopening it but it doesn't make anything faster.
Needless to say, the time I was going to spend on my presentation has now been shot down in flames. I'm going to try to at least get a template for it and search some royalty-free background music.
@Enthenia 😩😖😞. i agree with twist.
I haven't posted as much in here because I get busy at work and then I get distracted during work, so sometimes I have to put the phone away. I have been having one of those unfocused weeks so far 😮, so maybe I need to figure out an app that will put my phone on lockdown for a time. And the site was getting overwhelming for me. I don't understand how the frequent posters on here can keep up! But I do appreciate the support, so I'm here 😊
I am going to plan my evening and day tomorrow right now, but going to focus on resting this evening... Hopefully. I know I need to make calls during the day. Those tend to be hard for me to accomplish so maybe I can focus on this tomorrow. Hold me to it!
@reservedOwl321
Hey Owl, Sorry to hear about the unfocused week, but kinda glad it hasn't gone as far as shutting you down. So hang in there and keep pushing through it. It may turn out better than you think.
As far as posting goes..... it's to your needs and timetable, and then sharing encouragement as time allows. I'm self employed and when i'm working, i'm lucky to get to it.
And when i'm home.... i need the interaction so i'm here more.
It's different for everbody so don't feel obligated or bad. it's just here for support when you need it and support when you can give it. I say, "feel good about that" and try not to worry about the frequency. We see ya when we see ya! 😀
I always love seeing you flying around when you do, so make sure you stick around, even if you can't perch on s branch as often as you'd like. But remember to perch whenever you feel the need to.
I got all excited about using an organizing app one time and it lasted for one day... it turned into a disaster for me,plus i dowloaded 3 different ones because they were so "NOT what i thought" and hard to learn. and they added extra steps to day to start my day... it was easier without it. (FOR ME).
So get a good nights rest, regroup for tomorrow. Don't worry about 7cups, Focus and make those phone calls. i'm holding u to it. 😁. And you're perfectly fine, always good to see you.
P.S. On this thread series you will often see me ask fellow threadsters to help support eah other. And that is when I'm feeling inadaquate about responding too. So you are not alone in that department.
👍 I'm watching Eurovision this evening. I'll be back 😀
@reservedOwl321
I've just become aware of your Eurovision because of the Ukraine / Russian war. I thought Eurovision was a European television station.
Since then I've learned that it's a wonderful singing and music contest.
So that's cool you're watching that. That's gotta be a lot of fun watching it develop to the contest. I guess the finale is in May but (I'm guessing) they prepare all year long.
@ISayUncle It is a corny movie that I was watching. A little escape.
I accomplished my phone calls! I still have follow up to do, but I did something, thank you for the accountability!
@reservedOwl321
That's wonderful. keep it up.
