Weekly sharing of Goals! Week #37 2024 (Monday 09/16/24 - Sunday 09/22/24)

IsayUncle September 16th

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.

I'm sorry 😥. maybe pretty soon. 

Is that because you're not in your room yet and still in the hospital setting?

IchooseLife79 September 18th

ANOTHER DAY..... 

I did not sleep well at all. I have to figure out a bed configuration that will keep me propped up good.. 

I can only sleep on my back and I'm not used to that. 

I've already come up with some innovations navigate my day, like using a back scratcher to get my straps for my sling if I take it on and off. And I designed a hook to hang from the door put my shirt on and off and then also using a box and a cutting board to raise the counter level up so I can rest my arm on it or have stuff up close to my chest area. So now, for a bed innovation.

After that, laundry, laundry and then some more laundry. Bed first so I can take naps about when I want to. 🤣.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day today. thumbs-up-dance.gif

About 5 years back, I splurged and bought an adjustable bed.....they are quite expensive but learning how to sleep in the "up" position has been some of the most comfortable sleep I've ever gotten....Its the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, in my 52 years......

I was trying out the different adjustables in the mattress store when the salesman said to me "you spend the most time of your life in your bed and in your shoes......shouldn't those two things be the most comfortable no matter the cost?"  It made perfect sense....lol

Working on my final report. Already had to restart Xcel once. Have eight names left to do.

Bus was somewhat on time and I stayed out later with the dog because one of her friends had come over to the dog area.

Found a subdued background to use and put it in the code. Still not working right. Thinks it's because I have similarly named containers. Hopefully can review it after I get this report done. Spent a couple hours on the assignment last night but didn't get the issue fixed. Didn't get to do a picture either. That's two days I haven't accomplished anything on that end

Hey Enthenia, it's been a while. 👋


Glad to hear you have things moving along. I understand the frustration about not enough, but sometimes you can only do so much. It sounds like you're giving it your all. Don't minimize your wins. ;)

@Enthenia

I guess waiting for the server to adjust didn't work. 😞. I'm starting to learn that it's quite the intricate puzzle to get things to work. it's not just doing and doing it the right way but also has to do with the programs and the software and the hardware.

That must have been fun having some extra time with your pup.

It impresses me how you persevere. Even if it doesn't come easy. image_1726721638.png

@IsayUncle I think it's how I have the background tagged. Added images to Git last night and they load at full resolution unfortunately so I have to add some size constraints. 

Had some code duplicated so I removed that. Trying to redo the menu bar but I didn't get all the code copied so I have to finish that. Also need to look at section dividers. 

Got a picture done but got to bed later than usual. Shouldn't cut back on sleep since I'm pretty sure that I don't get enough to begin with. 

Have one account left to look at but I need to sort all the data pulled. Shouldn't take too long but now I'm being bothered about something that I was waiting on a response from so that has to be done now

This afternoon I set up an alarm on my phone that won't shut off until I scan a barcode that I put in the kitchen. Hoping it will make sure to get me up and moving. Hehehe

My project for tomorrow is to finish painting the soffits around my house. For whatever reason there is a wall there in my mind. I've wasted several good weather days not working on it. It certainly triggers my anxiety and depression. Time to muscle through it tomorrow!

Lots of catching up and reading to do.....Welcome back Tiny, and welcom to IchooseLife....and hello to everyone else.....It looks like everyone one is doing well and things are going well for everyone.....I worked my regular two days off earlier this week so I get today and tomorrow off to balance out my hours....I took Saturday off because who wants to be off two days, work one day and then be off another two....thats just crazy....

Things in my life are the same old thing....I'm in what I call my "Status Quo" phase....things are....well.... status quo.....not real good, not real bad....same issues day in and day out.....I'll have an update on my journal page later this morning if you follow that.....

Anyway, I'm going to use these two days off to get some neglected things done around the house and yard, laundry, vacuum and mop, sweep and dust the basement (stone foundation with concrete floor....I get many many cobwebs everywhere if I don't keep up with it).... clean the garage and start thinking about the cold months....not looking forward to that.....the leaves are already starting to turn here in my corner of New England.....once they are in full force, I will try to share some photos......

If I don't get on the laptop to write, I'll try to continue to "heart" or upvote your stuff on the phone....be assured, even if I don't upvote your stuff, I am stalking the thread and reading it, scrolling through on the phone....you guys make for great reading hahaha......Have a great day and a better weekend folks.....

Have a great day today 👍

you're OK.... REALLY, don't get discouraged. it'll take time to adjust so if it's what you want to do.... keep getting up at 6am. even if you do lay back down... it's ok.

@IchooseLife79 you don't need a shot, you just need a tiny person poking you with a pin, in the buttocks area. I'm a little person I'll offer to do that, it's gonna be so much fun 😁😈😁
