2025 Week #40 Weekly Goal Sharing! (Monday 09/29/25 - Sunday 10/05/25)
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.

And Any Others. If you want to be added/removed to/from the tag list, let me know. 😃
I'm going to be M.I.A. this week.
If you're comfortable with others, comfort them.
If you are not, comfort them anyway.
(They probably need it too)
As we all do.
Things seem to be crumbling all around me. I am perpetually tired. Bare minimum productive as the pile grows expotentionally.
ONE GOAL THIS WEEK: FINISH PROBLEM JOB.
Support each other. It'll lift my spirits too. (No pressure) 😁.

Me and my week be like:
@peachThinker662
@mytwistedsoul
idk if I can do it….
@peachThinker662 It's scary starting a new job. New faces, new routines. Just take each moment as it comes. Deep breaths. You can do this! ❤️
@peachthinker662 good luck with the new job! You got this!
@peachThinker662 Best of luck I hope your first day went well!
I have a lot to catch up on this week.
I need to work
process mail
pay bills
plan meals
buy groceries
get my house in order
@reservedOwl321 I need to get the house in order too. I don't even know where to start 😅 Planning meals before going grocery shopping is great! I try to do that too. It helps prevent me from buying a bunch of junk I'll never eat. Good luck!
@mytwistedsoul I usually try to plan my week on the weekend and shop for groceries. I definitely understand having food you won't eat. I've been trying to just not go shopping because we've got plenty in the house already... But we always need something and I prefer to make less trips if possible to the grocery store.
Where to start? Maybe if you have time take an inventory of your refrigerator/food storage to see if you have any produce that is going bad that you need to use and plan around what you have. I like to make a list of the meals that I have the ingredients to make.
I got the dishes done and the laundry done today. I need to get on this meal planning yet! Not sure what we're going to eat today.
My goal is the same goal as last week. Pretty much got an ultimatum over the weekend. Get something turned in by Wed. or I'm kicked out of the class. Got the template downloaded and the instructions for the presentation. Caught up with work so they have no reason to yell at me. At least they shouldn't. And there's practically no one in the office. Just regular people. Supervisors and management don't like to come into the office. They prefer doing their yelling remotely I guess.
But, if I can get the presentation 90% done today, that will be a good thing. I'll have to add the music in once I figure out how many slides there are and the approximate duration for each. If I can get everything submitted by tomorrow, I'll be fine. I also need to keep up on the lab assignments.
@Enthenia Wow that's both scary and frustrating. I know you're working hard with class and your job. I'm glad you were able to catch up on work. I hope you have a nice quiet day at work and can get your presentation to 90%. You can do this!
@mytwistedsoul well guess what? I have a nineteen slide presentation complete with speaker notes, a title page and references! I still want to add the music to it and transitions and the like. I think I need to decide how long the title page should sit and do fade-ins and outs to the music based on that. Going through it now to double-check the spelling. I was more concerned about getting content down than my spelling.
But! It's down and saved! I can finish it tomorrow as I only have less than a half-hour left at work and get it turned in before I get booted from the class!
@Enthenia Woohoo! Hey that's great! 19 Slide, speaker notes, a title page and references, that is awesome! I think it makes sense that you were more worried about the content rather than the spelling but I'm glad you're taking the time to double check all that.
@mytwistedsoul The music wasn't too hard. What took the longest was the fade in/out. Actually remembering how to do it online (done it before). I didn't want the music to play through the whole thing but I didn't want an abrupt start or stop. Got it the way I wanted it and fixed the animations so that the text wasn't just popping up all of a sudden.
Just need to review the instructions again (even though I have them saved) and submit it. I'd much rather deal with these issues than what I deal with at work...
@IsayUncle @peachThinker662 @reservedOwl321 @Enthenia
@mytwistedsoul I realized that all those veggies are in fact root vegetables...
@Enthenia Yes! 😊 They're rooting for you all lol!
That's too cute (the veggies). You can do it too @mytwistedsoul 😁. Is the other meme from a movie that I probably missed?
@isayuncle @peachthinker @enthenia @mytwistedsoul Let's make it a great week!
@reservedOwl321 It is! 😁 The waterboy with Adam Sandler.
@mytwistedsoul I have seen that one but it's been awhile. Glad you had a productive day today!
@reservedOwl321 Thank you! 😊
Got it submitted!! Even with the software crashing on me twice. And, that doesn't do auto-save so the first time I crashed, I had to put the comments in again but I had to remember what they were!
Now to get back to the lab for the third assignment....
Well that was premature. I was so intent on getting it submitted that I didn't wait for the larger file to fully upload. I just submitted it so only half got submitted. Only knew I screwed it up when I opened my emails.
Already felt out of it what with only getting three hours of sleep last night so an email pointing out my idiocy didn't help. Also wasted the professor's time because I didn't have it right the first time. Resubmitted it and waited for the larger file to fully upload.
Just been making a lot of small errors like that and it makes me question my general competency. Not that I really need an excuse to question my abilities. I seem to be consistent in failing.
@Enthenia You're tired and you were feeling under the weather. Exhaustion can affect our memory and sometimes we can make mistakes. I have no doubts about your competency at all! I think you're very smart Enthenia. There's been a lot going on. You work full time and while doing your job also had the mandatory training, while going to school and taking care of your pets. And yes our furry friends can be demanding of our time too!
@mytwistedsoul I really don't see how the pup is overweight. When I got up last night (again, only planned on resting like 30 minutes and the next thing I knew it was ten something. Somehow, I didn't get to eat until after eleven) and the dog had her squeaky ring in her mouth. Same thing this morning at three something. She was just waiting for it to be thrown so she could go after it. I almost missed my bus because she was being difficult this morning (she didn't want to go in her crate).
But I got the third lab finished. Got stuck on the final part because I couldn't remember how to view file outputs on Linux (it's the cat command, not ls). Starting the 4th lab now. Will work on the paper for the third assignment later.
Used part of my game balance on a gift card. Going to try some probiotic water. Maybe that will help. I've done kefir and similar things but maybe this new brand (at least to me) will help me get some of what I'm lacking.
@Enthenia She seems like a very active girl. It's hard to believe the vet would say she's over weight. It's hard to get a lot of play in over the summer months when it's so hot though. Hopefully it's getting a little cooler where you are. We're in the low 40's here this morning.
@mytwistedsoul She's a minature Aussie so she naturally has a lot of energy. My first working dog and they do require a lot of exercise. Couple of kids came into the dog section yesterday and threw the ball for her. She was happy. She got tired after about an hour but one dog showed up and she went after the ball to be spiteful I think. She and the other dog fight over the ball so I think at the end, she was proving ownership of the ball. I put it out of reach before the other one came in and then another friend showed up. She played with them for a bit but she was really too tired.
Um, trying to figure out how to upload or rather where to upload so I can complete one of the stages for the third part of my current lab. There are documents out there but you have to sign up and then pay a fee. I used one of the study sites I've used in the past but I had to upload ten of my previous assignments before I could view any of the documents. I don't use it enough to justify paying the membership fee. Unfortunately, the first two documents I viewed didn't help. The first one was for the wrong assignment and the second one was incorrect. The third one got me the code that I needed but it doesn't show where to put the document. I'll have to review the previous sections of the lab to see if I missed something.
Also got the monthly assignments at work again. I have to make sure I don't fall behind on either front (work and school).
Well, I haven't ordered it yet. I forgot that when I do pre-orders, the site I had the gift cards for takes the full balance out. A little odd because most places won't charge until the item comes in. So I have to wait until I can do the order. Also having problems with the application I pay my rent from. I did an update and I've tried to add funds to my balance but it won't do it. I have a support ticket and they're working on it but I'd like to get my balance paid in full. This application lets me do 70% of my total rent balance and then I pay the remainder later in the month. Much easier than doing my full balance up front because it's difficult to have all that money in a lump sum.
Not much else going on. I don't have to get up at 3:30 tomorrow! And last night I was able to eat at a reasonable hour. I wish my system would find a happy medium. Today I had pretty much what I always have but I didn't get super sleepy like I usually do. Instead, I'm really cold. When that happens at home, I get a blanket and lie down for a bit. That's generally when I fall asleep and then wake up when it's too late to eat anything.
@Enthenia Those working dogs do seem to have a lot of energy! She should have been pretty tired out. I bet after a nap she was ready to go again!
@mytwistedsoul I was permitted to sleep until four-thirty. Today, she was out five times.
I was able to do the order. Should arrive next week.
I started on the 4th lab. I need to look at my assignments for work. Two are always the same but they like to throw in a few random ones. With everything taking so long to process, I can't afford to fall behind this month. Still need to do a paper for the third assignment.
Um, I think you had another point but I don't remember what it was. I've got someone waiting on me anyways. She wants to play some more.
Oh the rent. It's not really a new application every month but you have to make the first payment no later than noon on the fifth day otherwise they can't help. A late fee is tacked on if you pay on the fifth though. Then you pretty much have up until a week before then end of the month to make the second payment. It really helps me because doing my full rent at once is hard.
But now, I really must play with the dog...
@Enthenia Well I guess an hour longer is better than nothing! They do get into our routines and they stick to them whether we like it or not. I guess she figures that since you're home it's more opportunity to play
@mytwistedsoul she's always ready to play. She usually has that ring in her mouth as she waits for me or else she's subtly hinting that she wants to play. Sometimes, I think she's asleep but she's on her side with the ring in her mouth. When I see her on her side, I leave her alone because I think she's resting but when I realize that she's been waiting for me, I feel bad. I don't think she really cares, so long as she gets to play.
Um, I got a lot of things done yesterday. Vacuumed, mopped part of the floor...
Not sure how much I can get done today. It's a workday. I need to get started on the monthly assignments since they would rather have it all done in two days. It's not exactly what they say but it's implied.
@Enthenia They do have a way of making us feel bad sometimes. You take good care of her and always make sure she gets to play each day. It's hard when there's work to deal with
@mytwistedsoul well I'm halfway through the fourth lab but since it's done by a third party, it doesn't exactly count as engagement. There's no way for the university to record when I complete it. I'm hoping to work on the paper some tomorrow if I can get all of the data for the background checks out of the way.
I do hope everyone is having a great week
You too @isayuncle aka MIA 💕
@reservedowl321 and @mytwistedsoul
i accomplished 2 days of work
It’s definitely helped my sleep routine😂
I did some meal prep on Sunday so it’s Made meals MUCH easier and healthier this week. Big strides!!!!!
Today I did some laundry, made dinner and cleaned up the kitchen. I am proud of my accomplishments.
Things were rocky From the weekend through Monday but that’s behind me now. 2 days to go!!!!
@peachThinker662 Way to go Peach! That meal prep sounds like a good idea! That seems to be one of the longest steps when it comes to making meals. Hopefully the rest is smooth sailing!
@IsayUncle Absolutely, I think as humans we forget to celebrate the small victories too often. Paying more attention to those little moments has made my life so much more positive overall and I highly encourage anyone reading this to do the same!
I went to work!
Now it’s me time!!! 💕💕💕
@peachThinker662
@mytwistedsoul
