Hopefully hear from you all soon <3 Have a fantastic week everyone!
What has your week been like this week? How are you feeling?
This week has been good! I started my new role here on 7Cups as Community Mentor and am enjoying the additional forum privileges to make our sub-community even better. If you haven't already, definitely check out the 'About' and 'Resources' tabs on the main sub-community page ;)
I'm excited for a new month and going to spend some time today working and hopefully shopping. I need to buy some new clothes!
What are your goals for next week/February? Is there anything that you'd like to work on specifically?
I really want to focus on reading more, I've been craving it more and more recently. So I've downloaded the Kindle app and hopefully will set some time aside each day to read and lose myself in a good book :D
Cats or dogs? Why?
I've had both and have got to say dogs... cats are amazing but they disappear for hours on end when out exploring the world. Dogs are always by your side
What has your week been like this week? How are you feeling?
It has been better than the previous week. I managed to complete one big project in time. And I have only one small project left to cross off my monthly to-do list.
It has been a while since I have felt relaxed.
What are your goals for next week/February? Is there anything that you'd like to work on specifically?
I've got finals coming up next month. So, nothing special except study and revision.
Cats or dogs? Why?
Both, as both are cute
sounds like you've had a very productive few weeks, congratulations <3
it's always so satisfying to cross off to-do list items. it's one of my favourite hobbies!!
best of luck for your upcoming exams, i hope you fly through them. do remember to take some time out for yourself to relax and re-energise etc, and hopefully you keep us in the loop on our weekly check-ins <3
have a fab week! 🐼

@Obstruct
Thank you for the tag! Looking forward to seeing how everyone is doing! I'm currently working towards finishing programs on 7 Cups along with working towards peer counselling certification so it's been a busy month. This week was highlighted by continued involvement in the forum communities and some really great member chats. I am working on finishing the community building course here on 7 Cups and also sticking to my personal goals.
I just want to say that my last week's dog-sitting was so much fun. But I honestly don't have time for a pet so I like plants right now. They are so pretty💐
you're so welcome, thank you so much for sharing your reflections with us!
sounds like you're doing an excellent job! we're so lucky to have you <3
dog-sitting? i'm sooooo jealous! i love dogs but i think i'd love them even more if i knew i could give them back to their owners at the end of the day 😂
@broadfemmelovelive
@Obstruct
haha yea it was nice to be done with them after a long week. Love the doggos but like them from a distance more haha
Work has been okay for what it is. I've learned to ignore a lot of the petty things that go on there. I don't mind the work itself but the ethics, culture, politics, etc. are a different matter.
But, like I said, I overlook that. Mainly because I am embarking on a self-paced IT degree next month that the company will (hopefully) be footing the bill for. If not, I qualify for a loan. It will be quite chaotic for me for a while but this decision was brought on by the operations of the company. I am still fairly new with the organization but I cannot see myself staying on for say, five years down the road. There are plenty of other companies out there and some must have a better culture than what I'm currently immersed in.
And although I have a cat (& I like cats), I miss having a dog. But my feline is going on fifteen so I am extremely hesitant to introduce any new animal in the house to replace the ones I've lost over the past couple of years.
hey enthenia! it's so good to hear about your plans for next month. i think any company would be beyond lucky to have you, and really hope you find a more suiting job/company soon <3
it's understandable about not wanting to introduce new animals, i had the same a few years ago when my doggo was 17yrs old. however, we did introduce a cat to him when he was 13 and he loved it! helped him during his retirement so he wasn't bored 😂
thank you for sharing your reflections with us. i hope you have a fantastic week <3
@Enthenia
@Obstruct Thanks! I would like to think any company would like to have me. I was so happy when I found this one after being laid off and having my position of nearly a decade eliminated as a result of covid. The job I found while on unemployment wasn't what I expected so when a temporary agency found this position, I was glad. I actually changed my position during my first year. But then, management changed and I became acquainted with the "dark side" of the company. As stated before, I believe, it is not an environment I want to be in long-term.
As for the cat, I'd like to get her a friend especially since she lost her best feline friend last year but I really don't think she'd adjust well. She didn't like my dog when I got him but she adjusted. However, she was only about three at the time. I just don't want to take the chance. I don't want her to feel threatened by the new animal and I don't want the new animal to be tormented. She's been without a companion since July and like I said, she's older.

What has your week been like this week? How are you feeling?
My week was alright. I was very mentally on top of things. My boyfriend and I broke up, but maybe it's for the best. I feel pretty motivated and happy.
What are your goals for next week/February? Is there anything that you'd like to work on specifically?
My goals are:
Follow a routine daily, but Sundays are my relax day.
Get a job at McDonald's, possibly.
Do morning meditation and yoga.
Do morning 7cups
Do morning devotional and prayer
Do morning studying.
Attend my Tuesday/Thursday evening virtual class.
Take my medicines right.
Drink more water, tea and juice.
Cats or dogs? Why?
ABSOLUTELY BOTH
they are both protective loving caring creatures <3

@tommy
so i haven't been following my goals as well as i would have liked and my bf and i are back
The week had been going by okay? Monday, went to see a specialist and got something done, which will result in a healthier living circumstances for the next few years. It was also my Uncle's birthday, his treat to eating King Crab, that was yummy, except I think I might've been allergic to it. I had an immediate reaction on my face, with itchy, red bumps. It's now Wednesday, and it's still a little visible. Had been applying a prescription cream day and night.
Goals for the month of February, to make more progress in my business (a never-ending continuous goal).
Definitely a dog person. I don't mind looking at videos of people who own cats, but I think because of the traumatic experiences my mother had with cats in her childhood, had also scared me enough to actually want one myself!!
@tommy
hey jae! i'm so sorry to hear about your allergic reaction :( thankfully i don't have any allergies but could imagine how itchy and inconvenient reactions are!
your upcoming month sounds very promising <3 and happy birthday to your uncle ✨
i hope your face is better/gets better very soon!
@Jaeteuk
I have a few food allergies, but a lot of it is known by trial-and-error, which really sucks.
My face is better now, thanks. It must've been a large allergic reaction, most other foods I'm allergic to, only last a day or so.
