Weekly sharing of Goals! Week #32 2024 (Monday 08/12/24 - Sunday 08/18/24)
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 good morning uncle John ❤❤ good morning everyone ❤❤
so the other day I was stupid, thought I'd try to get from my wheelchair to my bed all by myself, I thought it would be easier to just launch myself, anyways I fell straight out of the wheelchair, flat on my face😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😭 my poor back😭😭😂😂 do yes my day is gonna be a day of relaxation and recovering ❤
How's my favourite uncle doing??? Gives you a giant tiny hug ❤I love you ❤
@Tinywhisper11
Awwww, Awwwww, Sob Sob Sob 😭😭😭. You must get so very frustrated sometimes, and then to hurt yourself on top of that. I am so blessed to have such a fighting spirit in my life, not only as a friend but also the best niece in the world. I love you too and I hope your pain is not too bad this morning.
I'm very sad and sorry that you hurt yourself. And sadder yet, that you didn't feel the victory of landing in the bed. That would have made you so happy.... The Olympians also try to do very hard things and fall and get hurt. I think you have some Olympian spirit in you.
You heal up and get the feeling better OK? And no more rocket man stunts for a while! 😜🤪😁💖
@IsayUncle 😂😂 yes uncle, no more stunts for a while😂😂 the pain as eased back to normal pain levels now ❤ but I still get to relax all day😁❤ I hope your weekend went well ❤ how's the healthy eating going??
@Tinywhisper11
So happy to hear.... sadly, back to normal pain.... but elated not disastourous pain. Kinda wish I could have seen that momentous leap of faith, Evel Knievel 😁.
My improved disciplines are proving beneficial. I have more stamina and my focus is more focused he he. I've almost faltered a couple times wanting to eat some pizza and drink some booze but I abstained and I'm feeling great this morning.
@IsayUncle your amazing ❤❤❤ I hope you know that ❤
@Tinywhisper11
P.S. By the way, thanks for asking. I'm doing OK. I started eating healthier, stop drinking alcohol, and only doing one or two cups of coffee a day.......
....... Ohh no, I'm turning into a boring old man. 🤣😂😁😬
@IsayUncle you will never be boring ❤❤❤ old, yes! But not boring 😁❤
@IsayUncle
It's good for the soul! Glad to hear you are taking care of you.
@IsayUncle
"I'm doing OK. I started eating healthier, stop drinking alcohol, and only doing one or two cups of coffee a day....... "
Glad to see you are not drinking anymore....Also glad to see that you recognized it as an issue. Coffee on the other hand, while I know caffeine isn't all that good for you, I also consume way too much of it. Coffee, only one cup a day, the rest is in the form of V-8Enegrgy (I love those little drinks) and pre-workout amino energy powders that I add to my water bottle.....and congrats on eating healthier....I eat what I call semi healthy....I do pay attention to what I eat but I have a terrible sweet tooth that I cannnot control a lot of time.
@Tinywhisper11
Ouch! That sounds painful! Sending healing vibes your way.
@KristenHR thankyou ❤
@Tinywhisper11 oh no :O hope all the hurt from the fall is gone now <3 don't go in like a wrecking ball #_#
@BlueDarkAurora 😂😂😂😂😂😂 ok I'll be more careful ❤😁
@Tinywhisper11 😳 You've got to be more careful! ❤️
@mytwistedsoul I know😕 I don't know what I was thinking! Don't worry I'm ok ❤😁
@IsayUncle
I have no goals. I am on staycation this week. :) I am committing to nothing except whatever I happen to want to do, and pampering myself.
@KristenHR
That's wonderful! about 2 or 3 weeks ago you listed a series of goals you were tryng to achieve for the month (i think). Yesterday, at the end of week 31 I went back and looked for that post but I couldn't find it anywhere.
That's all not very important though, I just wanted to refresh my memory and ask you how you were doing on everything. I bet you've been working pretty hard and I know you stay busy with a lot of other people so I think you deserve a " staycation" Enjoy!
@IsayUncle
It's been crazy busy with writing, though I didn't accomplish yet what I was working on I've accomplished a lot of other writings needed.
@KristenHR
"Yet" is a wonderful word in that context. It's so easy to get sidetracked and still stay super busy so you still deserve your staycation. Good job for getting done what you got done! 😀
Have a great week 🤪
@KristenHR Have an awesome staycation! 😊
@KristenHR that sounds like a much needed break ❤❤ good for you ❤
Redo the third assignment and anything else that needs to be fixed. Then submit the everything because the course ends tonight.
And somehow get caught up with work.
Copying the text over so I can resubmit the third assignment. Don't know it the diagrams are right this time or not. Hopefully they are better than the last time. I just want to score some points on this assignment.
So I looked over the rest of the comments. Had to resubmit two assignments because of the diagrams. One I didn't redo because I wasn't sure what the professor meant by accessibility. The last three assignments I got a perfect score on and they were harder than the previous ones.
Submitted the final document so now I can try to get caught up with work.
@Enthenia Congratulations on the perfect scores! I hope you can catch up on work!
@mytwistedsoul thanks! Actually I wasn't as behind as I thought. Was caught up until the 9th. The majority are blank reports but they still have to be opened.
@Enthenia Hey that's great! I've got a potentially stupid question - if they're blank why do you still have to open them? Just to be sure?
@mytwistedsoul yes because I have to mark that I've viewed them. That way when they do a random audit, we don't get into trouble.
@Enthenia Oh! That makes sense! Thank you for explaining 😊
@mytwistedsoul you're welcome! But, a lot of what I do really doesn't make sense but oftentimes clarify is not an option.
Most of my goals for this week were planned for my two days off, yesterday and today. I have accomplished quite a bit on my list....My goal was to pressure wash EVERYTHING.....yesterday morning, my girlfriend and I cleaned out the storage unit and separated a bunch of stuff to be sold at the town wide tag sale next weekend. After that I began pressure washing....I finished all the outdoor patio furniture, deck and half the garage. This morning I did the house(all the areas I could reach on a step ladder without an extension ladder because, well, that's a story for another time) and finished the garage.....I still need to pressure wash the front porch, but that requires removing all that furniture to the front lawn and my weather app tells me its going to rain within the next hour or so.....so I'm going to have lunch and hit the garage gym for a strength workout. Later this week, when its not calling for rain, I'll finish the front porch....other than that, it is the normal "I own a house, have a family and need to cook and clean" things......
If I don't get back in here this week, eveyone have a wonderful week.
@CyclingThroughLife It's a lot of work pressure washing all that stuff! It really makes everything look so nice when it's done though
@mytwistedsoul
Pressure washing is quite therapeutic if you ask me.....washing away all the dirty bad stuff and getting back to the original looking product....if you think about it...you can apply that to life....pressure wash all the bad stuff away....easier than it sounds, I know...
@CyclingThroughLife Oh definitely! I pop in some good tunes and just go to town! It's like the amsr videos only you get the fun of using the pressure washer yourself instead of watching!
@IsayUncle can a number be a goal @_@ I have a number goal *-* I'm getting that! :D
@BlueDarkAurora I've been trying to figure out how to politely ask what the number is lol
I think a number can be a goal though
@mytwistedsoul a confused question cannot be met with a polite question Q_Q
@BlueDarkAurora that's right your goal is to be number 1
@Tinywhisper11 yes *-* I'm the one xD
@BlueDarkAurora
Not sure what you mean. A number in use always references something. But that was a fun question to think about. 🤓🧐
@IsayUncle Not sure what you mean either ^^ heh. Number being just a target I need to achieve :)
Put up a ton of hay in the barn this morning. And mowed the field. Tomorrow is a dentist appt 😞 that I am absolutely not looking forward to. Trouble tooth has been fixed twice before and she's been talking root canal and I am freaking terrified 😅
@mytwistedsoul Eat well beforehand ^^ this too shall pass @_@ have a playlist ready to listen to.
@BlueDarkAurora Eat well beforehand doesn't sound promising lol! I usually don't eat before hand because my stomach gets goofy when I'm anxious. Definitely got tunes though
@mytwistedsoul awwww sorry sweetie 😥 don't be scared, your gonna be ok ❤ hugs you ❤ I'm right here for you ❤ I've sent mayo to be with you, he will hold your hand and look after you ❤ hugs you tightly ❤❤
@Tinywhisper11 Your chubby unicorn is gonna steal my lolly 😁 🤣
@mytwistedsoul he'll be thin by the time he flies to your house, so yes please feed him your lollies😂😂😂😂 yeah it's all scary🙁 my poor little soul, after you been come and tell me, and I'll give you a surprise for being a brave boy ❤❤
@Tinywhisper11 I'll give him marshmallows too lol
@Tinywhisper11
sooo.... this is where ice cream comes from 👀 I can't unsee this now 😂😂
@mytwistedsoul :O maybe ice creams? I've been there before and it's like not too bad after a significant amount of time has passed xD The anticipation is worse for sure but the relief afterwards is worth sitting there for a lifetime @_@
Hope your time at the dental office goes by smoothly:) <3 and hope your doctor isn't as scary as mine way lol
@BlueDarkAurora I might have to try the ice cream! Oh yeah the anticipation is the worst 😬
@mytwistedsoul
Good Luck, you're going to have to grin and bear it. hehe... I hate dental work too, I tell them to knock me out every time.😁😬.
I hope it goes well and you are done before you know it.😃
@IsayUncle grin and bear it😂😂😂😂
Thank you everyone! Good news is after doing more X-rays. The dentist decided that a root canal isn't needed but a crown still is. (Cue the memes 😂) Which I think that won't be too bad (hopefully) and definitely seems less scary. Yep I am a chicken though 🐔
@IsayUncle 🎶🎶 jingle bells, jingle bells jingle all the wayyyyyy 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
@Tinywhisper11
you're silly.... and i love it! 🥴

So the course is officially completed. I still missed a couple of points but the ending grade was higher than before with the resubmissions. I couldn't resubmit anything else because the course officially ended yesterday and I didn't get comments from the professor until yesterday evening.
@Enthenia Congratulations! 🥳 It has got to feel good to be done right now!
@mytwistedsoul yes. I can't view the final grade yet. Site maintenance. But, at least I did better than I thought. Halfway through I was sure I'd fail the course.
@Enthenia They pick the darndest times to do maintenance don't they? Geez! Hey you stuck it out and persevered. That's something to be proud of! Maybe you can do something nice for yourself - a little treat to celebrate?
@mytwistedsoul right now no. Took the day off and was going to get groceries because I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel but funds I'm waiting on haven't come (again). Times like this, I wish there were relatives close to me but there aren't. Dog has been happy to have me home even though I'm not as alert as usual because of food (either lack or it or wrong types of food).
On the school thing, I think they wanted to get the maintenance done before the new semester/quarter starts.
@Enthenia
I can honestly say, I too am so very proud of you. Like @mytwistedsoul said, "you persevered and you did it". You really did. 😀. With a higher grade too. And you didn't let other things, falling apart and making it hard for you, you didn't let them stop your growth. It Reminds me of one of those strong trees on the edge of a dry Cliff growing strong and staying rooted in the rock. Good Job!
Please rmind me the name of the course you completed. thx.

@Enthenia A day off is nice especially when you can spend it with your doggo! The late funds though - that sucks. Is there some place that you can supplement your groceries like a food pantry or a church? Hopefully the funds come in soon
@mytwistedsoul days off usually cause a different kind of stress than work. I was able to get groceries even though I had to put a few items back. The problem with food pantries is that most of the stuff is highly processed and full of carbohydrates which is something I'm not supposed to do.
It does make things challenging. Earlier this week they brought food in at work and I took a muffin (it was fairly small) because I was having trouble concentrating. I think it did more damage than it helped because I felt sleepy the rest of the day. If I don't eat enough, my head hurts and if I eat the wrong thing, I get really sleepy.
@Enthenia
Yea, what we intake definetly effects our performance.
@Enthenia
I pushes post by accident.... ooops,
I wanted to add or encourage you to hang in there. It'll get better and i hope you get feeling better soon and are able to eat more foods. Do you keep rice and beans in your pantry? (They mix well with many inexpensive things) for full wholesome dinners.
It makes it very hard when you have to worry about your finances even getting good stuff to eat.
I hope you feel good today😀
@IsayUncle I'm okay. What I had saved I used so I have to stock up again. The biggest problem is that I have to severely limit carbohydrates. 20g or less is ideal which makes things challenging. I have to look at the nutrition on everything.
The gram count can be slightly higher if there's fiber in the product but it's a tedious process and not exactly cheap.
@Enthenia Oh that's no good. I'm sorry that days off cause you stress but I understand. I'm one that likes to keep busy and not having something to keep me busy can cause problems
@mytwistedsoul Thanks but it's not starting off that well. The week. Dog started barking at three this morning. Came back to work and found I was saving files incorrectly (changed how they want everything saved. Thought it was just one report. Went back and renamed them the way they wanted but tried doing it in bulk which changed the file names for everything to copies of whatever the first file was renamed to. Deleted ones I thought were duplicates then later realized they weren't so I have to go into the Customer Folder which has over 10k entries and search for the ones I deleted, rename them, and move them to the other folder.
And, my college says I have a past due balance of a few thousand (funds haven't been disbursed yet. This happened once before).
Still tight on groceries (will be fine when I get the disbursement).
And generally feeling incompetent right now...
@Enthenia
Awwww, try not to feel incompetent. You are probably just exhausted from so much worry. You're not incompetent. Other things beyond your control are trying to keep you down and making you doubt yourself. Just try to rest, Get some rest and gain strength. It seems like this heavy financial burden is enough to worry anybody sick so try to gain your strength and figure out a way through it.
You know sometimes we get tired of always having to try so hard at every corner that we turn but I have seen your strength and your diligence and I will see you come out on another side of this, on top for sure.
When the disbursement is for sure, you will feel better. Just hang on a little bit longer
@IsayUncle it will definitely help. Should get the refund email tomorrow or Wednesday. Got the email about the disbursement a couple hours after the first email.
Got all the files fixed. I went through my monthly assignment folder since I couldn't sort the customer folder by specific date because there were too many names.
And, I had to redo one spreadsheet. Fortunately, I copied extra data onto a few open windows of WordPad when I noticed that the open spreadsheet was taking too long to show any data so I only had to redo three hundred rows instead of twice that much.
Just, every time I decide to take a day off, something invariably goes wrong at work. Like I'm not allowed to take vacation days. It's why I avoid taking them, actually.
@Enthenia
That all sounds good, you definitely deserve some relief! 🤗.
Try to remember then everyday things go wrong and whether you're at work or not it's going to be very normal for things not to be perfect when you're not there.
I think it's important to learn and I really mean it, to learn how to know you can fix things when you get back to work but when you're off work, learn to absorb the freedom you have for yourself at that moment and for that day. You enjoying your day off it's not going to affect your job one way or the other because that's just the way the ball bounces.
I hope you have a great day today. 😀
@Enthenia Omg That sounds beyond frustrating. They need to stop changing things! It really sounds like the "bosses" like to keep things chaotic for their employees. Do these changes even help in anyway? 10k+ 😳
@mytwistedsoul They're supervisors and they know everything. Management said so. They are the ones who decide whether or not I clock in so I acquiesce.
The place is full of favoritism and they protect their own like bureaucracy.
@Enthenia Lol well they think they know everything but you have a very good point! The people who sign the paychecks are the ones who decide how things get done
@IsayUncle gooooooooood moorrrrniinngggg uncleeeee ❤ and everyone else ❤
I hope your day is as nice as me 😎❤😂😂😂😂😂
I love you all ❤ I have to much energy today😁
@Tinywhisper11
YIPPITY YAYYYYYY YIPPITY SKIPPPITY YAYYYYYY
