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.

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.

Whoooooooo today was a an emotional day
I did accomplish getting dressed, getting pet food and snuggling the cutiest lil kitten. Are my meals
tonight’s agenda was essential oils 😂 is bathing in lavender appropriate? It’s supposed to be relaxing 🤷♀️ journaled and setting in to read my book.
So different being vulnerable today but I’m so glad I did it. ❤️ I’m so stubborn and I always want to accomplish things independently, like I have all the answers. But everything (mostly everyone) has said on here has been helpful.
Thanks my guys
@isayuncle
@mytwistedsoul
squirrel moment— I’ve never had guy friends. So kudos to the 2 of you AWESOME gentleman ❤️❤️❤️
@peachThinker662
Thank you, and you're a bad azz lady i'm glad to know! I hope you're big emotional experience yesterday makes you feel really good today.
Sometimes it works, just like that! 💓
@peachThinker662 Thank you! I have to agree with Uncle, you are a bad azz lady! You got this. One day, one moment at a time ❤️
@IsayUncle She called us gentlemen 😁 (fist bump)
@mytwistedsoul
We're good if she doesn't figure out to pull the sheet off her head. 🤣😁
How ya been Twist?
@IsayUncle Idk... She's pretty smart!
Eh, I'm hanging in there. Been having trouble sleeping and tbh had a small breakdown last night (not even sure what set it off) Today's looking a little better. Thank you for asking!
How are things going in your world? Did you get any rain the past few days? We finally did here. It had been drier than a popcorn fart this past month 😂
@mytwistedsoul
Ooooo..... your a smoooozer 😃. But not wrong. lol
Same here, just hanging, struggling for better, thankful it's not worse.
I'm sorry to hear that. I figured i'd check in and give you a vent if needed.
Do you know where your sleepness is coming from. Do you have proven techniques to overcome sleeplessness?
Can i ask what a small breakdown looks like for you? I'm glad you felt better this morning but do you wanna talk about what's causing the current mindset.
When i don't see you for a while, i wonder if you're kicking bu*tt on the farm, or if the farm is kicking your bu*tt sometimes. 😁.
You're not alone.
@IsayUncle Lol I have my moments
@mytwistedsoul
Intrusive thoughts and sleeplessness plauge me often. I've don't have dark images or panic attacks, even though I stay pretty nerved up and unproductive a lot of times.
I have mixed emotions about drinking but i don't like to talk about it too much here, in the event it triggers someone to start drinking.
I'm sorry those monkey's grabbed your brain for a bit, but equally happy you shook them off. Good job. Well, winter is coming and it's time for a new set of rituals, that's all it is. Same 'ole sh**, different days, different rituals.... and we still have to plow forward (pun intented).
I hope you're feeling better for the weekend and enjoy relaxing or productive days. Perhaps with a restful mind.
I have to dig in and get serious myself with getting back on track. I fell off the discipline wagon for the past week and now, have to recover. I've had some ongoing discouraging setbacks but my scariest one was driving off with the fuel hose in my tank and ruining a fuel pump at the gas station.
Scared to death (pretty close to panic mode for a couple days) because i didn't think i had the insurance coverage. That shut me down this week what it looks like everything is gonna workout fine.
It's not completely resolved yet. So there's a lot of nagging worry occupant occupying a lot of space in my brain until the insurance adjuster gets back to me. But at least I don't think I'm gonna get sued or anything like that.
It seems like we both need to shake off the brain stuff and get back to the fun stuff. I'm on it, you do the same. 😀. Have a great weekend.
Did you ever finish that ladies project that didn't know what kind of wood she wanted whether it was cherry or something else?
@IsayUncle I'm sorry you deal with them too.
Got one of the mandatory training things out of the way. Will do the last one after lunch. Went over to the pet store near work and got pet food (had to get out of the office for a bit). The licensing form was never send to me by the licensing department. So it wasn't my fault but it could probably be spun that way (wouldn't be the first time). Then I had to figure out which network printer was correct because I realized that I would have to print the form out so I could sign it. That took about an hour and I had to resume the training session because it had expired on me. At least I figured out how to do the printer setup on my own (it was basic. I just needed to know what the name was because the printer changed from the last time I printed anything) because waiting for IT to come around would have delayed things.
Got an email from the univesity saying I'll be kicked from the class if I don't show some activity by the first. Going to work on that once I get the final training thing out of the way. It's just a video so I don't think it will take too long but now I have to go eat something because me head's starting to hurt. Of course that could be from the stress....
@Enthenia
That was a lot of minutia to get through the day. ☹️. I hope you sleep well and your head don't hurt in the morning.
You did well today managng the curveballs. 💪
@IsayUncle this is why I don't understand how this company has functioned for over fifty years.
I got the lab completed!! Now I have to do the application and the presentation.
Head has been hurting off and on for the rest of the evening. Can't be getting sick. I can't afford it. I do have plenty of vacation time but I don't think the dog would let me be ill.
@Enthenia
Great job on the lab, good deal 😀.
I hope u don't get sick either. that does shut things down..... plus pets don't let you completely rest.
Anxiety was less today.
Went for a walk in the rain, opened my windows.
Spoke with the doctor about my bloodwork. Supplements have been added accordingly.
Pizza for dinner tonight
Going to jump in a warm bath after dinner
I have had the privilege of speaking with some wonderful people on here and I know I said that yesterday- but I’m truly grateful 🥹 ❤️
ooh and my last piece of paperwork came in for the job! Emailed it on over.
@peachThinker662
Nice.... Sounds like some "goods" finally visited. u deserved them. 😃
Today I need to work for an hour then pack. Excited to visit my son and his fiance 😀
@reservedOwl321
Wooo Whooo 😀. Enjoy!
Showered, breakfast outside and well I’m off to training at work !!!!
@peachThinker662 Have a great day!
@mytwistedsoul
💖
@peachThinker662
Good luck with the training. Peaceful thoughts and easy does it. You got this!
Got 60% completed on my 3rd lab! Got nothing done on the presentation because of work. What I can do over the weekend is find some ambience music (royalty free) and free templates for the presentation. I can also do some research on the threats I'm supposed to address in the presentation. Then I can put it all together on Monday and get started on the third assignment whatever it is. I'm already got half of the lab completed so that's something.
My headaches may be coming from work. I don't know. I just am relieved when I leave for the day.
@Enthenia Hey that's great! I hope you find everything you need to get ready for your presentation!
Those headaches could very well be from work. Stress can do an number on us. I hope you have a nice weekend. Pup will remind you when it's time for a break! 😊
@mytwistedsoul she tried getting me up at three this morning to play. I do remember when I've worked on classwork before that she has jumped up into the chair with me when she wants attention...
@Enthenia She's really bad at telling time! I know they don't understand the concept of sleeping but holy cow! Yeah she's not shy lol! I bet she just stares at you too 😊
Well, I guess today is Saturday.
I did not have a good week from a productive point of view or even having a good mindset. I could say my mind and my body was in recovery mode and just kind of let it go for that.
But now it's time to get into productive mode. I have a big job that I need to finish up and if I can work hard on it for Saturday and Sunday then I may be able to get it done next week.
I have lost all rhythm of disciplines and need to regain those if I have a chance of succeeding this weekend.
No time like the present to get started. 3:41AM Saturday: Start 2 day hard push!
Saturday 8:50AM I am so perpetually tired. Got things together enough to go to work.
Out the door @ 8:50am. I Have to do better tomorrow.
Leaving an unmade bed and a sink full + of dishes to greet me coming home.
@IsayUncle I'm always tired but it could be a health issue. I did find a template and some background music for the presentation,! Haven't done any research. Been feeling tired off and on all day. I did have too lie down for a few hours after I took the dog out for a few hours. Tried having some small snacks but I still felt tired. When I carried the pet food box home from the locker (about a couple of hours ago),I got super tired. Let the dog off her leash once I dropped the box then took the other stuff home and went back to get the box.
Don't know why I feel so tired...
@Enthenia Hey that's great for the background music and template. I hope you're not coming down with something. With work all that stress is building up and can make you tired too. I hope you feel more rested
@mytwistedsoul I hope not. I realized that what accounts for seasons here usually changes around this time. I can't exactly afford to be sick either. Certainly, I've got plenty of vacation time but that's all I have plenty of and I don't really have the time to take the time off if that makes any sense at all.
@Enthenia It makes a lot of sense. The time off would just cost you in the long run because then you have to try and catch up on your work because you can't depend on anyone there to cover for you.
@mytwistedsoul well today I noticed one of the leads come into the breakroom when I was getting hot water for tea. He looked a little stressed and he was. Also frustrated by lack of management and management not helping. I asked him quite frankly if they had ever been there for us. He paused and said no. He trained me when I was a temp way back when. He generally trains everyone. I think he was a transfer from the main office. I also know that they will deny his transfer from this department because he told me they've done that before. He's one of the few leads that actually does something and that's why they don't want to lose him.
But it's not just me who's not enchanted with management or the lack thereof.
@Enthenia That's really lousy of them that they would hold him in place when it's pretty obvious that he doesn't want to have to deal with them anymore. I can understand why they wouldn't want him to transfer if he's actually doing his job though. That must feel validating to you too knowing that he feels the same about lack of management and help
@IsayUncle How'd it go with the job? It's hard when you lose that rhythm. 😕
@mytwistedsoul
It was a complicated septic system and , big. on a small knoll with lots of trees in the way and having to use a pump alarm system too.
I finally got all the trees cleared, tank in, lateral lines installed and all that inspected.
Now maybe a couple of days to get all plumbed together and then final inspection.
Whew ... been tough... i will be a free man soon. Still have other jobs to do, but this one will be done!
@IsayUncle Hey Alright! Way to go! Sounds like it was a big job and you definitely put a lot of effort into it. Hopefully it all goes together without trouble and you can move on to the next job. There will be a big sigh of relief when it's done! I know you've been struggling here and there with things - I'm proud of you! 😊
@mytwistedsoul
thanks twist. i said before, i think we have similar enviroments. hence, i know you get it. thanks again.
I hope you are doing well. (Any special plans for week #41?)
And a big THANK YOU for pulling the sled through the thread a lot last week. 💗
@IsayUncle You're welcome. Yeah I think our environments are probably pretty similar too.
@mytwistedsoul
Yea, we got the same rain. that was good.
Good job on the field.
31 bags... cha ching, good start for the year.
Does the greenhouse take a lot of wood to keep heated? Decisions decisions... 🤔😅
@IsayUncle Everybody needed that rain I think. We have a freeze warning for tonight. I'm a little unhappy about that 😕 A lot with the greenhouse depends on what it's like outside. The colder it is the harder it is to heat. If the suns out it usually stays above freezing during the day. Usually 2 or 3 cords is more than enough. I'd rather have too much than not enough. It's harder to chop when it's frozen 😅
@mytwistedsoul
Everyone DID need the rain but I have been so fortunate with the dry weather, for the work i do. yippee.
3 cords to split is a lot of work for a green house..... BUT, I actually like splitting wood. Time restraints turn it into a burden though. I do get a wonderful sense of accomplishment from it.
I hope you get things in order before the hard cold sets in. With a green house, Does the frost still get to the plants, or are they mostly safe because they are covered?
Don't be unhappy... Be one with the weather.... 🤣😁🤣... You got this!
Have an awesome Sunday!
P.S. My trial and tribulation short: Had glass mishap a couple months ago: Finally got help to clean up mess and get fresh start: Glass pile infested with yellow jackets.. in a closed in area. one movement gets 'em going... Time for night time, sprays, trying smoke bombs today.
P.S.S. A blesssing short: I'm NOT allergic to bee stings, because i got plenty of them! 😩😂😬
@IsayUncle Yeah you definitely need the dry weather to get those jobs done!
@mytwistedsoul
Whoa.. that does sound like a big nest..... GOOD CALL, getting the pro's involved.
I finally found the nest on top of a shelf. It was kind of flat, interwoven with a pile of rags, but about 12" in diameter.
A can of starter fluid in one hand and wasp spray in the other.... problem solved! 😁
That's about what i thought for the green house. It sounds pretty nice to have a green house. Good luck with keeping it warm if you decide to, this year.
@IsayUncle They'll make a nest with just about anything! Good call with the starter fluid and bee spray! I'm glad you got them taken care of!
