Weekly sharing of Goals! Week #41 2024 (Monday 10/14/24 - Sunday 10/20/24)
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.
My kitties🩷🩷🩷
@Psalm139 awwwwwwwww 😍 soooo cutteee
Thank you!💕
@Psalm139 they're all gorgeous<3
Thanks!💕
@Psalm139
Is that top ine as bossy as he/she looks??? The othe looks like a real cuddler but i probably have it backwards. 🤣 They're adorable😀.
btw...... I saw you in your costome ... Icon.... went to look and your site still defaults. Bummer, your costumes looked fun.
now i want to read your cup but cant get to it. bummer.
The picture was my two littlest boys, but yeah, I figured no one could see it. Good thing so I don’t get reported a bunch of times again!
The 7cups team never got back to me about my support request for my profile. I bumped it up several times too by replying. And that was the second time I tried. I guess it isn’t a priority.
All three kitties are girls! Belle (top) does have a grumpy cat face lol. None are really bossy. If anything it would be the middle (Willow) who will answer to any name! So if you call Belle or Nala (bottom picture) she shows up too! They all like pets but none really likes being picked up! Nala tolerates it but looks mad the whole time!
My cup is just a verse from the Bible from Psalm 139. I can see it here in the app but not on the site.
@Psalm139
Cool names for the kitties. I examined the two similar ones and determined they were the same cat. I just thought the lighting was a little bit different. They really are almost identical, that's funny. LOL.😂
I'm glad you clarified😀.
Yeah I don't know why they won't get your homepage fixed. I figured that you just haven't asked them about it but it seems like you asked him enough times. I don't think it would be a big deal to tweak it. It's not like it's a site wide problem. Anyway I hope they fix it soon for you. I like seeing your icons you like to change them and it's fun.
cya later.
oh yea, your teeth (gums) all better?
Yep my teeth are better!
Nala is Willow’s kitten! We adopted both Willow and Belle from different families that were rehoming them about 5 years ago. A couple of months later Willow had kittens! We found homes for them all initially but Nala was returned to us so we kept her! They do look very similar!
Yeah I find it very annoying that no one can see my pictures! I posted pictures of me/the kids all the time and never got reported when it was my profile picture. Now I feel like I can hardly share anything 😕
@Psalm139
Yeah I understand what you mean. I also understand the wisdom of not putting your life out there on the Internet.
But then if they're out there on *** and up in the cloud and on everyone's cell phones which is hackable I mean..... Really it's the world we live in. So I don't really know.
I think there's a lot of legitimate sexual content on this site that I don't see because I'm not involved with it but I've seen plenty of stuff to indicate that there is. Pictures of young kids could be a trigger for some of these situations,..... Sadly enough. And I guess in some situation even for adults depending on what the picture looks like. So maybe that's the reason they keep it tamped down because if everyone was allowed to do it, it might cause hardships for other members that deal with that kind of stuff.
Got the two things that were due today done. Did about 20-30 background checks and got frustrated because one of the people on my list had been done on the 9th but I couldn't find the files. I had to do a search through the entire parent location and put them in the customer folder where they're supposed to go (actually, they go in four different locations but the file in question was only in 1 of 4 locations until I added them). Then it occurred to me that others might be looking for the ones I did on the 9th and today so I sorted my files by date and copied them over to the main customer folder.
I still have to finish the state I'm in and four more states. And I have to get back to the dailies because I'm a week behind on them again.
I was hoping to work on assignment no. 6 this week but I don't know if that will happen. I still have some monthly assignments to do and they're due next week.
@Enthenia
Congratulations ✨ I'm so proud of you for getting some of your work done. You have done an amazing job.
😔Sounds like things are massy at work, me hoping things goes a little smoothly for you today.
Sending luck and a hug (if accepted)
@Apeatrice well I don't know if I really made any progress since I'm 10 days or so behind in one state. The expectations at this job is unreal. Had to sit through a 2hr departmental meeting yesterday (which never happens) but I kept working. I just listened to the upper ranks talk. Don't feel like I got much completed though.
Not sure how much I can get done today. Think I'm getting a cold. Actually with the constant stress and lack of sleep, It's amazing that I don't get sick more often but because of the work schedule and the fact that sick leave was taken away a year or so ago, I can't afford to become ill.
Depending on how much I can accomplish today, maybe I can review the instructions for my next assignment.
@Enthenia
Buddy, I think we should still celebrate the fact that you get through the day, that alone, is something to be proud of. I love your spirit of not giving up.🥰
I hope you get some rests soon.
Luv u
@Apeatrice thanks but but more often than not, it just seems like I'm just swapping things out. Like I'm down to maybe 10-15 names I still have to check (not counting the ones that I just have account numbers for and nothing else) but I have to save all the background reports that couldn't process straight off for whatever reason. I got to the 5th one one state I was behind on but now I still have to do the 6th to the 17th plus the 13th to the 17th (I think) for all the other states. Oh and I have to save copies of all the background checks I've done in two different file locations. I have them in the main customer folder --well except the ones I did today but I will copy them over tomorrow.
I have done absolutely nothing on my next assignment and that's concerning me because October will be over soon and I still have four assignments to do by the second week of November. Plus I have a scratchy throat so my response time has been slowed which is not exactly helpful.
@IsayUncle hey everyone I have a boyfriend😁... Oh wait! That's a fridge... I have a fridge
😂😂😂😂
@Tinywhisper11
Oh congratulations. May I feed some cookies and ice cream to your fridge? Also may I give you a hug, Whisper?
@Apeatrice gives you a giant tiny hug ❤❤❤ here I'll share my ice cream with you😁
My Goals Today;
IELTS reading exercise, 1 paragraph
Grammar p 1 - p5
Read 50 pages on 《Know My Name》
Writing
History
Help mom check out books for donation
Raz
Create a daily routine.
Print out papers for ... (Not comfortable of sharing atm)
Explain to mom and try to get her sign the agreement
♡No relapse.
@Apeatrice
You got this. I hope your mom is receptive and you feel beeter afterwards..
Regardless... Remember. You are strong..... no one else can make you weak. You are strong, no relapses and finish all your schoolwork today.
@IsayUncle
Thanks, Uncle.😊
Only finished reading and grammar.
Reasons why didn't accomplish everything else;
- I can't concentrate on reading comprehsion at the moment.
- I remembered why mom had did to me; she's not on my team😭
- I had a really bad day.
What I can do to make changes;
- Do the most annoying work first.
- Little steps.
- Get enough sleep (to help memory and concentration)
@Apeatrice
I'm really sorry you had a bad day.
With all that extra stuff, you still had some energy to make improvements and do some school work. Try to understand that it's not what you don't do, it's what you do do..... Not no dodo.. silly me! 😂. It's what you get done that's important and it sounds like you got some work done so that is fantastic.
Do you know that you're sharing your story here will help other people. So even as you're suffering, you're helping other people.. That's because you're strong, you really are, you have to be strong to remember to follow your steps and getting plenty of rest is very important.
Can I do anything encourage you not to relapse? (You're too precious for that) 💚
It sounds like your mom has things to work through but that does not make you less precious. You are so precious and I know you don't think you're very young, but you must stay strong long enough to realize how precious you are. You are going to be amazing but remember to keep doing your school work because that will become a good standard for you, A safe place of building interesting thoughts, not destrucive ones.
Hope everyone is doing well. This new format has me missing posts too. :(
Good news is I'm up and awake!
@IchooseLife79
Congratulations!
You kinda reminds me a song by Skillet, Awake and alive;
I'm awake, I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
Here (right here)
Right now (right now)
I'll stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake and I'm alive
I hope everything goes well for you today. Thanks for those encouragement.
Luv u *hug if accepted*
*Correction; thanks for joining us. Love to have you here*
@Apeatrice
How are you today, I got a blank reply last time i asked. Was that a computer glitch or just a blank reply?🤔
@IsayUncle
Tw; past child abuse, passive su
My goals today;
- Getting through my day without relapse and live.
- Create the time table.
- Try to get mom's phone number of my agreement. (I am heart broken, I thought she above all people, cares. Seems like nothing has changed, she was the one telling me I should ...myself, she will be the one seeing me cry)
@Apeatrice
I really like that song you posted up above. I'm gonna see if I can find a picture to lift your spirits.
Say Hi To-
Shadow, Tippit and Yappy! 
They're a mess for running through the weeds. 🤣
@IsayUncle
Omg, Uncle (I love your name, its like I have a family here on Cups, xD) you got your dogs green coatss! Are they for Halloween?
Thanks forsharing, you really made me feel better😊
@Apeatrice
We are family here on 7 Cups. Try not to push too hard with your mom today.
You take all day and I mean ALL DAY... to take care of yourself because not only are you strong but you are also smart enough to know how to do that.
Remeber, as bad and good thoughts drift through your brain...TAKE THE BEST...and leave the rest!
Have a good day today... You deserve it. 💚
@IsayUncle
Aww thanks, you set warmth to my heart. (I didn't push my mom, I didn't even argue, I won't have therapy for a long time...)
@Apeatrice
You warm my heart too. 💚
Please let me clarify... That's good you were resposible with your mom. You are amazing.
When I said "push", I meant pushing buttons AND ALSO.... DON'T LET HER PUSH YOURS EITHER.!
Mostly, if something is getting under your skin.... try to use your schoolwork to escape. Leaning is not a chore.... it is an amazing adventure.... learn to love it. You will amaze yourself how hard it is but also how much fun it is to win. You are a fighter so you will win often and that will make it fun! 🤩
@Apeatrice
Why you won't have therapy for a long time?
@IsayUncle
Because mom hates my therapist. 😭
@Apeatrice I going to guess that she doesn't like what the therapist has to say? It must be too close to the truth? 😕
Finished all of that (except still can't get mom's phone number OFF my paper. Think I needs ask Adalida to reprinted it😢 )
I didn't just got through the day, I did all my hw (or whatever you called the study loads I assigned myself since I'm homeschooled)
Maybe I won't be here to post next day's goals. Hating myself at moment, needs to be off cups for a faw days.
Also, don't think this thread should be a place for a teen, I'm probably making everyone uncomfortable. Whatever.
Bye guys
@Apeatrice
This thread is open to anyone and everyone. You are encouraged stick around because you are welcome. i admit, there's not a lot of teens on this site but maybe it's good sometimes to hang out with some older people that wanna send some caring and understanding your way. We've all been through a lot and age does not lessen or increase the difficulty of choices that we have to make.
You are super intuitive and I think very smart. I understand having to take a break from 7 cups but I'm really glad I've been home these past couple days to talk to you. When I start back to work I won't have as much time and I was hoping that you wouldn't feel left out.
Thanks for letting us know how you feeling. I would've been heartbroken if you just disappeared. I don't really know how to talk to teens but whether we are old or young we must try to support each other and encourage each other be strong, while holding each other gently in times of frailty and doubt.
I think you're awesome, and if you take a break from 7 cups, I hope you come back and say hi. 💚
@Apeatrice
Stop... If you're unhappy, discouraged and disappointed.
It is no wonder you feel so bad.
Just because you feel so bad doesn't have to automatically go to hating yourself. Sometimes we just feel super bad.
Why are you hating yourself at the moment?
@IsayUncle, @IchooseLife79
Aww thanks buddies🥰
@Apeatrice
You are welcome here. We all struggle, and many of us with not wanting to live. Share what you need to so we can support you. You got this. I truly believe that even when things are hopeless that you can take a step toward hope. Being on here is a step. Hope to see you soon.
@Enthenia
No one is gonna success all at once, take your small steps, buddy.
What are some points to reflect on?
Please remember to be gentle with yourself, don't take out on yourself.
@Apeatrice My job is dependent on doing the impossible every single day. I guess I'm just not efficient enough. Disregard the fact that I have to deal with latency, network speed, processing speed, etc.--management cares nothing about that. I just need to work harder.
If I didn't have the dog, I could try to get my assignment completed in the evening but I do and she needs at least 90 minutes of exercise a day. Last week I worked on my assignment after dinner but that was putting me up to after ten p.m. and not getting me in bed to about eleven. Alarm goes off at 3:45 in the morning so I wasn't getting much sleep.
I think this cold has gotten to me because I randomly fell asleep on the sofa last night. The high winds we have here now isn't helping any.
Actually right now my computer at work isn't helping any. Spreadsheets aren't working and had to force the computer to restart which is going to result in massive data loss so I guess my lunch break is forfeited...
Had to restart my computer again. And I discovered that the spreadsheet that tracks daily deposits of over $10k didn't save all the entries. So Monday, I get to open over 300 reports to find the names I had put on the report. And I still need to do three states and put the names from another state on the report. Fortunately, I saved those reports.
It's just going to slow everything down because I have to get on the VPN to pull the reports, disconnect so I can save to the local drive, cancel saving from the network at least four times, wait for it to make up its mind to save to the local drive (that's why it takes so long to save) and since the weekend is here, I'll be behind again on Monday.
And, no one cares. The work needs to get done. That's all that matters.
@Enthenia
Awwww, WOW.... That is so terrible..... Not the fact that the computer crashes, and you have to redo work over and over again that you've already done. As aggravating and nerve wracking as that is, the terrible part is that no one is trying to fix the computer problems, No one is acknowledging the set-backs it is causing.
Another terrible part of that whole thing is there is nobody there to congratulate you for being efficient and diligent through these overwhelming problems.... I'm so sorry. They don't deserve you!
@IsayUncle that's why I'm going back to school. I don't want to stay at this job and I don't want to wind up in a worse place.
Going through the reports should take about an hour. There's no option to auto-save (which would have helped). Most of the options in Office have been disabled by the tech. department for some reason or another.
Today, depending on how I feel, I will try to work on the assignment.
I have to clean the whole house today because my sisters (2) and nieces and nephews (5) are visiting this weekend! I am excited to see them but still struggling with physical energy and motivation- maybe because of my medication but I’m not sure.
Yoga has been helping. I think it increases maybe because it increases blood flow - so I’ve been doing that a few times a day. It feels good but takes time from other things obviously.
They won’t be here until tomorrow evening but my daughter has a Taekwondo tournament tomorrow so we won’t be home to prep anything.
I am waking up and drinking coffee and then I will get started. I’m going to try to do an hour on/an hour off and see how far I get!
@Psalm139
That makes for a full couple of days. You're going to have a house load. All the kids should have fun! 😄
But you will surely have to recuperate for a few days afterwards. 😂😅.
Your daughter will probably do great at the tournament but here's to sending her some extra energy. 😁
enjoy your coffee and then I hope you have a productive day! 😉
Thanks! Yep! My sister has 5 kids too but her youngest is 17 - so all teens and above except my two little ones! It will be different but I’m happy everyone is still excited to see each other. They are spending the night tomorrow night and staying until Sunday afternoon. My other sister is not married and never had kids but will be coming for a couple of hours on Sunday.
Im taking a break now. Had a pretty good start! I just want to make sure everyone is as comfortable as possible in our little house!🏠
@Psalm139
That's pretty special you getting everything ready for your sister so she's comfortable. I mean, not just your sister but her entire large family. Here's some motivation boosters for the late afternoon. 
BTW... Did you and your sister mend some fences or get a little bit closer in the past year? You sound kind of excited about her coming over and I think that's wonderful. 🙂
She never really did anything wrong. She was just always busy which doesn’t mix well with my issues. She is having a hard time with the dad of her older two kids and we were talking the other night and we impulsively decided to get together lol. We hadn’t really been talking before that for a long time.
@Psalm139
I love that! 🤗. I hope it goes super well.
And I hope she finds some oulets/solutions for her tricky troublsome scenerio.😕.
@Psalm139
ps.. did you do good cleaning etc.?
I am doing pretty well! Still have some things to do but first need to drop my daughter off at the gym to help set up the tournament!
How has your day been?
@Psalm139
Good, thanks.
My arm is more usable, I have a helper coming over 2 times a week to help me clean up the yard.
I got guaranteed work through the holidays until the first of the year.
Everything is really good but I still have a hard time staying motivated getting stuff done at the house. Same old same old if you know what I mean.🙄😂
Yes I know what you mean 💯! I’m glad you have some help! And guaranteed work is amazing! I bet it feels good not having to worry about that for a while!
@Psalm139
Yea, it's a strong stabilizing factor. 😀, thanks.
You'll be quite busy for a few days but I'd be happy to hear about your sister visit if you feel like sharing after you're all done. 😊.
Yep, didn’t sleep well last night and we need to leave for the tournament in 30 minutes! Hopefully my emotions are ok today. I don’t do well on limited sleep😕☕️
Pulled up the instructions for the assignment. Have to do JavaScript on this one. Done Java but not JavaScript. Haven't been very productive with being sick. Fell asleep earlier because of it. I can't attribute it to food because I hadn't had anything before.
I tried working on it after I took the dog out but then the cat wanted attention. And I need to read up on the code since I haven't done it before.
Making some soup. Hoping it will help. Going to try doing a picture now
