Weekly sharing of Goals! Week #28 2024 (Monday 07/08/24 - Sunday 07/14/24)
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 I'm going to get the fifth assignment done once I finish something for work that is due Monday. Started on it on Friday but turned out more complicated than planned. But, after the fact I realized that I don't need to sort the data as thoroughly as I normally do. But, since it's due tomorrow, I'm going to have the supervisors pestering me about it.
I will also try to ignore my natal day (is one day this week) and accept the wishes from family online. I don't get sentimental on holidays any more and especially not that day. It's just like any other.
Getting more paper, ink, and paint sometime this week so I'll be able to do pictures again. However, the heat advisory will probably be in place all this week, so I'll have to keep someone entertained inside. It was 116 today I think and the lowest temp. this week looks like 109...
@Enthenia 😮😮😮😮😮 damn that's hot😮😮 what's a natal day?? Good luck with work, and your assignment ❤ by your doggy a treadmill, so you don't have to walk him in the sun😁
@Tinywhisper11 it's another way of saying birthday. A treadmill wouldn't work because she'd have to do it when I'm at home. Can't let her wander about the apartment unsupervised when I'm at work. Tried once. I do take her out around six but it's just to take the trash out. Maybe five to ten minutes and then we're back inside playing with the ball.
I found that there are ball pits for dog so I might get one of those...
Got the task for work completed! Now to get caught up on the daily things and look at my assignment instructions.
I also have to go to the store after work. Don't want to what with the heat but the cat needs extra food. My monthly pet food shipment has been delayed. Was supposed to come Saturday and then Sunday but it never showed.
@IsayUncle
Yay! Free space again. I'll take a space on pluto. It's one of my favorite spaces. :) Never been there yet, but hopefully one day. haha
I have 2 lessons to finish by tomorrow so I can finish LDP. I will finish one tonight I hope, and one tomorrow and submit my final report.
Later this week I'll work a little more on rewriting the one course, and 1 lesson. I didn't get my lesson last week - I got tied up in some other things.
@KristenHR good luck doing all your paperwork and plans ❤❤ make sure you get rest between your work.
And you can borrow my spaceship, it'll get you to pluto and back easy😁
@Tinywhisper11
Thanks. Finished LDP last night before I went to sleep. That is off my plate!
Will definitely take you up on your spaceship.
@IsayUncle hugs uncle ❤❤ how are you doing today??
I made you breakfast ❤
@Tinywhisper11 unfortunately I ate it, cause I was up first😁😁
@Tinywhisper11
lol
Hey ya'all, Such good posts. I have to rush off to work but i just wanted to wish everyone a good morning or good day and thanks for sharing your goals. I think everyone is gonna do great this week. 😃
Please give me Tinys ice cream because she ate my Big Breakfast.
Hi Cloudy, I hope you have an amazingly good week. 🤩
@IsayUncle
Slipping you some ice cream.
@KristenHR
nom nom yum yum, thanks, but shhhhhh, 🤫🤫 don't tell tiny. Still not fair yet, did you see that Big Breakfast she ate of mine 😲?..... hmmmmph!!! I think I should get her ice cream for the rest of the week.
@Tinywhisper11
OK, OK, OK, I miss you so I'm going to give you back all your ice cream even if you did steal my Big Breakfast. But you better be nice to me and not eat my delicious breakfast again. Come on back to us little sister where there's huge mugs of hugs for you.
@IsayUncle well done you made me laugh and now I spat coffee everywhere😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 sorry I haven't been here ❤ you missed me awwww, your just too cute ❤ I'm just sat here sorting through my m&ms I don't eat the brown colour ones away, cause I'm allergic to chocolate 😋
@Tinywhisper11
ohhhh you r sooo funny! 😂😁🤣😂😁🤣😂😁🤣
good to see you. 👀
@IsayUncle 😁😁😁😁😁
@IsayUncle 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It is 6:51AM and I have to try hard to get a trailer quickly set up for work. No way by 8:00AM but hopefully before 9:00AM!
@IsayUncle
did you make it?🤞
@Heather225
Hi Heather, Not quite by 9am but by 2pm plus a big repair done on the equipment for the day. Even though it took me the entire start of the day get the trailer out and moved, it was a big accomplishment so I'm really glad that it's done and I'm glad that I stuck with it even though I was getting discouraged. Got her done, thanks for asking..
I hope you have a good day today.😊
@IsayUncle better late than never😁❤
@IsayUncle
Goals:
- Read one great book a week in nature/year.
- Walk two hours per day all summer in morning/evening
- Keep meditating every morning/evening
- Keep journaling/planning/writing daily
- Learn more about each organ
@communicativePond1728
NICE! You are really focusing on a wonderful frame of mind. That is so important because it really builds a good foundation for going from one day to the next with positive intention and just some good old feelings. I hope you master most of them, even if you don't get them all, you will still be doing awesome.
Thanks for sharing, and I hope you have a wonderful day.
@IsayUncle
P.S. What is your special interest in organs? (if you are comfortable to share) btw, great suject.
General health maintenance?, or more serious organ repair and healing?
@IsayUncle I mean I'm kinda in the middle so yes both maintenance and repair. Ayurvedic, metaphysic, German holistic or otherwise, any info out there I'm into it! For example did you know the spleen is the compost of the body? I didn't, go spleen; we love a good spleen...
@IsayUncle thanks!
@communicativePond1728
U R welcome and Rah Rah... Go Spleen! 😁
@communicativePond1728
Are you taking anatomy and physiology? I love studying the body - haven't done it in years, but would love to go back to that class in my old age.
Your list sounds very enjoyable.
@KristenHR Yes! I love learning to take more care of my body by learning about anatomy and physiology...though sometimes it takes a bit (A LOT.) of prompting, patience and persistence. And promises of much ice cream. And primal screaming.
@communicativePond1728
@Tinywhisper11 has the ice cream stash, but watch out for your big breakfast!
@KristenHR 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 it's all mine
@Tinywhisper11
Stop already, you little thief!
@IsayUncle 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Looked at the instructions for #5 which lead me to some articles which led me to confusion and then got me reviewing the reference paper I downloaded. I'm not totally confused and I happened upon an article that seems to explain the programming method I've decided on in a way I can comprehend.
The diagram will have to be done tomorrow but at least I can get the description down today
@Enthenia
Great that you can get part of this done today. Glad to hear it!
Got the 5th assignment submitted. Now to focus on work again.
And the dog is feeling better. Gave her some pumpkin last night. Jumped up on me at four this morning then ran about the apartment (sprinted actually) antagonizing the cat and then played with her ball a bit before we took our walk.
@Enthenia
WOW that's really good. You got some steam in your locomotive this week! That's great!👍
@IsayUncle I guess. No end to work though. One reason why I don't like using vacation days unless I really have to.
@Enthenia
Uggggh.... I know, work, work, work....... Ugggg again! BUT you'll write your own ticket later.
K👀P your eyes on the prize. You got this!
@IsayUncle I don't know if writing my own ticket would work. I don't have any authority.
@IsayUncle
My goal this week is to take good care of my rats, to get a date to meet with my brother and friend, and to at least clean my room up a little bit! Good luck to all of you, you can do it <33
@agentsky1705
Do you have pet rats? Make sure you do all your chores or they'll, "rat you out!" 🤣😂🤣.
@IsayUncle
@Tinywhisper11
🤣
@Tinywhisper11
i'm really funny, huh?
@IsayUncle
sure.. if you say so XD
@IsayUncle 😂😂😂😂😂😂 yep
@IsayUncle
yeah, I do!! 6 of em. They‘re amazing little fluff noodles <3
We also have 3 cats. They should hunt the rats, right? But funnily enough, they keep a respectful distance from each other xd
@agentsky1705
That's neat. Pets are awesome!
Absolutely! Do you have any?
@agentsky1705
I do..... 6 dogs! 🤣. The picture when I get a chance.
P.S. Did you get your chores done the other day?
ooh, nice!! You’ve got a whole doggy family
And ehh.. no. But, hey, I‘m going to the doctors today tk het my throat ache checked out and then hopefully will have the energy to meet up with some friends again
@agentsky1705
That's OK, you'll get to them. It's really awesome you're taking time to get out with people. That actually takes a lot of time and energy. And it is super important. I totally lack doing that and can't wait until I make it a priority because it is healthy and important.
So I think it's really great that you're doing that. Good job! & Have fun 😀.
I hope your throat ache isn't too serious and gets better soon. 😕🤒
Just wanted to stop in amd say hello. I've been struggling with a serious bout of negativity that cones from my current employment situation. I've not been a fun person to be around nor have I been happy in a long, long time. I stepped away from here so that I wouldn't be tempted to say something that would drag anyone down with me....you know what they say....misery loves company.....anyway, I'm working on situations so I'm hoping things will change soon. I'm glad all you folks continue this thread and are helping and supporting one another....
@CyclingThroughLife
When it's a bad situation, it just is what it is. You don't have to step away all the time or any of the time. It's as you want and need. I appreciate your concern for us, but let us support you too even when nothing seems to be changing for you in a positive way. Sometimes it just helps to know that someone knows how bad it feels that things are the way they are at this moment.
I personally like having you here, no matter what mood you are in. You don't have to be one way or another. Just knowing you are being is good enough. You are a part of us, and when you're not here, you are missed. If you can't be here every week, that is okay too. Just know you don't have to protect us either. You've been here a long time and I've not known you to dump on us inappropriately. Have a bad day or can't change things? Sure. but you're not mean or hateful to anyone here and it's okay to be how you are or need to be here with us if you want. No pressure one way or the other. I just want you to know my thoughts on you being here even when you're in a bad space.

Thank you saying that about it just being what it is. I use the phrase "it is what it is" all the time...yet I have the hardest time believing it living by it.....And thanks for offering to support me when I need it. It does help to let someone know how bad it feels at this moment, but I feel like I'm coming across as the "whiner".......my whole life I've be taught to "suck it up and move on". This site....getting help....asking for it....its all a new thing for me and a lot of time I feel like its something I need to "figure out or just get through on my own"
I appreciate you you saying that you like having me here. Thank you. As far as dumping on you all inappropriately, I use great restraint when I come here. I've been told a lot lately IRL that I've not been a fun person to be around and that I've been taking "my things" out on others. I get aggravated and irritated with other people quick lately. I don't have any tolerance for the foolishness that goes on in day to day life right now, where before, I used to just let it roll off my back like water on a duck. I feel like I'm deep in this thing this time around.....I've been in what I call a "funk" before. A funk is my terminology for what most would probably call a depressive episode. It usually lasts a few weeks, a month the most....But this time it's different. I'm having a very hard time pulling myself up and out...but like I said, I am working on situational solutions and hopefully things will get better soon.
@CyclingThroughLife
Very well written and expressed! Very well indeed.
@CyclingThroughLife
Awwww Man, That's why we are here! Misery loves companty right..... we've all had our share and we come here to talk about it.
I know you a little bit and I know you want to lift people up and encourage them to fight because that's who you are.
Sometimes we have to back up regroup, rest, reassess and then forge forward. And while we're in that stage, we need to talk to people we need to share and scream and not worry about appearances. I promise, you won't drag me down and honestly I probably won't try to lift you up. I just wanna hear your story, what you've gone through and then watch you build your own plan to get back up on top because I know you can do it because you're fighter.
It really is good to hear from you again so I hope you stay in touch.
@IsayUncle
Awwww Man, That's why we are here! Misery loves companty right..... we've all had our share and we come here to talk about it. We do come here to talk about it, and sometimes I forget that is what this place if for. Like I mentioned earlier, I don't want to be the "whiner". There is always someone who has it worse, yet as humans, we think our issues are the only thing that matters. I once read that just because someone has it worse than you doesn't make your feelings or problems invalid.
I know you a little bit and I know you want to lift people up and encourage them to fight because that's who you are. Thank you for saying that. I believe you are correct, yet right now, I don't feel like I have the fight in me to encourage anyone....
Sometimes
we have to back up regroup, rest, reassess and then forge forward. And
while we're in that stage, we need to talk to people we need to share
and scream and not worry about appearances. I promise, you won't drag me
down and honestly I probably won't try to lift you up. I just wanna
hear your story, what you've gone through and then watch you build your
own plan to get back up on top because I know you can do it because
you're fighter. I definately need to regroup, rest, reassess and forge forward. And I have tried that, yet, at this time, I can't seem to get it right. Thanks for wanting to hear my story and watch the outcome. I appreciate your motivational words and faith in me.
It really is good to hear from you again so I hope you stay in touch.
@CyclingThroughLife
You're not a whiner. It takes guts to share vulnerabilities but it is so worth it. It helps set a proactive plan into action.
And yeah if we compared ourselves to everyone that has it worse than us, we would be assuming a lot. There's not even a relative starting point for comparison. Our situations pain us in ways other situations may not pain others and vice versa. Reduce our pains enough and maybe we can help others reduce theirs but first we must reduce ours. That's a worthy fight and there's no shame in it. regardless of others hardships.
@CyclingThroughLife gives you a giant tiny hug ❤❤❤ I'm sorry you've been struggling😥 I've missed you, I hope your doing a bit better ❤❤
@CyclingThroughLife
You're very welcome man. I think some of us knew where you were but don't know where you've been nor do we know where you are now. But it takes a lot of courage to start talking about things again. Glad you're doing that. 😀
So yea, it would be nice to touch base again or even just little bits of venting everyday could be helpful too. Qbviously, work still sucks!. R U still cycling?
@IsayUncle
"So yea, it would be nice to touch base again or even just little bits of venting everyday could be helpful too. Qbviously, work still sucks!. R U still cycling?"
Now that the weather is nice outside, I'm doing a lot of outdoor rides compared to my indoor spin bike. My current workout schedule is in a two week cycle.....week one I ride my bike, indoor or out weather depending, for three days, and lift weights for two days, and week two I lift for three days and bike for two.....then repeat.....I try to get in 5 days of workouts each week....The weight trainings I do at least 50 minutes to an hour, full body, compound exercises.....biking depends on a bunch of different variables I won't go into now....Sorry for the long answer, but the short answer to your question is yes, I am still cycling....I did a 50 miler, a 30 miler and a 16 miler with a lot of hills this week.....
With all that said, I struggle daily with not wanting to work out.......but I do it anyway and always feel better afterward......
@CyclingThroughLife
OK, that's great to hear. Maintaining a center or foundation does take a lot of work. So after all this time, I'm glad to hear that you're still doing that. Good job.
@IsayUncle hi everyone ❤ what are you up to today???
Me I'm just busy hunting dinosaurs😁
@Tinywhisper11
Wow what a coincidence! I just opened a new store and started selling dinoware. It's kind of like dinnerware but much bigger stuff.
@IsayUncle
okay but imagine a store with only dino themed plates, cutlery ect
That would be so cool
@agentsky1705
Absolutely! That would be super cool. 👍😀
@Tinywhisper11
I'm kind of old school, SO is it OK if I call you sweetheart, sweetheart? Because you do have a sweet heart. I also like that nickname tail another member gave you Lola Beanie, (i know ur name is Lola)
LoLa..... Laugh often Laugh aloud. 😀.
I know you have a lot on your mind and sometimes it can hurt to hunt dinosaurs but I am so glad you took the time to come and say hello. How u doing?
@IsayUncle you can call me anything you like ❤ I often call people sweetie in the forums😁 I'm doing ok, better than the last couple of years 😁 but also struggling, I don't know how I feel. maybe if you give me some icecream and a squishy uncle hug, I might feel better😁
