Weekly sharing of Goals! Week #44 2024 (Monday 11/04/24 - Sunday 11/10/24)
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.

As 2024 winds down, I can’t help contemplating what I’ve accomplished this year. With the holidays coming quickly, and 2025 approaching no slower I can’t help but reflect.
As hard as things have been, I feel like I’m better off than I was in the beginning of 2024.
I copied and pasted the first three weeks of 2024 in case anyone wanted to go back and reflect. I thought it was kinda fun.
If you’d like, please share your overall headspace for the year of 2024. I know the friends that I’ve made here and the support that I’ve gotten here has been a big part of my life so hugs and well wishes to you all.
PS…. The year’s not over yet, so don’t give up on those things you’re trying to get done!
My goal is pretty much the same as last week. Turned in the 6th assignment last night but ma have to resubmit because I don't think I linked the JavaScript file right.
Going to try to work on the others at work. Had to force the computer to restart this morning. Said it couldn't find the network when I plugged it in then it said it couldn't find the hard drive. Worked after I forced it to restart but I had to use the search bar to get File Explorer to work because it wasn't loading when I used the icon
Found that our monthly tasks were assigned at 8:30p on Friday (when no one is working so why dole out tasks then?) and because of the holiday, we only have about twelve days to get everything done. Not taking in account technological setbacks or trying to find where other people put files or fixing errors.
Currently trying to do background checks for the people on my daily activity list that we had no history on because it's the 4th and these should have been done by now.
Also have to get a new password for an application I haven't used since it was assigned to me in June because I was given a report for it at 8 something Friday night.
And of course, now I have one of the 6 supervisors getting onto me about a KYC report that I've been trying to get back to for the past week. My fault, naturally, for not being able to do 500 things all at the same time with complete accuracy.
No one comes into the office anymore and if I don't do whatever they want immediately, it could be construed as insubordination. Even typing my reasons for not having it done three days ago could be insubordination.
Done with work nonsense for the day. Working on the 7th assignment. Pretty sure I will have to redo the 6th. Trying to incorporate the code for the new pages into what I have already. I mean, all pages should be consistent. They may not be completely accurate but they should be consistent.
My goal is to not let myself fall deeper. Last week there was a situation that really made me want to SH. I didn’t do anything but I came pretty close. It’s hard to think clearly when I feel that way. Things always get harder for me this time of year. I know I’m going to have to force myself to go out. I also need to keep up with exercising because that helps too.
@Psalm139
I'm really sorry.
I'm glad you made it through that hard spell. This time of year is pretty tough. I really hate it that something more happened to trigger you but really proud of you for not doing anything.
Stay strong and continue to know how amazing you are. Things can be hard but it's easier to get past those times in little bits as we let time pass. 💚
@IsayUncle thanks
Today I'm going to look at some of the tasks for work (most of this new month's reports will be blank but I still have to open the spreadsheets) and then I will focus on my class. Five days to do three assignments in. I will probably have to resubmit a few but I just want to get the first attempts turned in by the deadline.
Dad has his surgery today. Hope the worst doesn't happen because I don't think I've ever really done anything to make him proud. I mean if I was capable of anything, I wouldn't be where I'm at now. (I dislike this season because it's a reminder of how much I haven't done.)
So I happened to get on GitHub because I remembered there was a lot of topics for JavaScript and I happened to find a page from another student. It has the code for the remaining assignments! Can look at it and do mine like it.
I also found an AI site that lets you paste your code and explains what each bit means (extremely helpful). I don't have my HTML files on my work computer but I can send them over. I have 12 reports left to view for part of my monthly assignments (many will probably be blank) so once I get the background checks saved in three spots, I can get to work.
I should be able to get them all done (& revised) by Sunday!
@Enthenia
I hope things go well with your dad. My prayers are with you and your family.
I cannot possibly see how your father wouldn't be proud of you. You are a hard working, self reliant, and a responsible person. In addition to that, you continue to grow and improve. I can only imagine he would love for you to be as proud of yourself as he is of you. You are a shining star.
@IsayUncle my mom said he had to have five bypasses. No medical expert but that sounds excessive.
I don't know. I just don't think I've ever accomplished anything. Not really. Yes I got in the honors society at the university but there's over 200k members. I guess it's just like how I don't draw. Not really. I can't do anything from scratch.
Ah, it's almost time to clock in...
This is kind of a vent so nobody is obligated to reply or anything. This space seemed safe enough because I don't think the person would come close to any motivation and accountability threads 😅
I've been putting off something that I think I've known I need to do for a long LONG time. Blocking someone. I met a guy here a couple of years ago in one of the chats (god has it really been that long?) They were there as a member and then he reached out in his listener account. It didn't seem too bad at first I mean yeah the conversations needed to be about him first and then maybe some time for me to talk about whatever I'm dealing with. Usually I was too tired afterwards to even want to discuss anything of mine. His replies to me usually consist of "I'm sorry to hear that. and That sucks" Helpful ya know? 😕 The conversations are basically me going through a long line of questions and getting one word replies. This person is miserable all the time. (his words, not mine) All day, every day. It's draining. First came the comparisons. Then came the demands. The verbal abuse. He apologizes but idk - it's not really an apology if someone keeps doing the same thing right? I understand that he has a lot of crap on his plate physically and mentally but this is a big place - lots and lots of people here to talk to right? And the internet is huge. And we're all here for something. So it occurred to me today, it's bad enough that he doesn't have any respect for me with the way he talks to me but it's even worse that I don't respect myself enough that I don't put a stop to it 😐 Boundaries right?
Idk maybe this is triangulation by talking about it here? Guess I'll find out if it gets flagged and deleted
@mytwistedsoul
I hope it does not get flagged and deleted. I think It's good that you vented it here so I'm responding quickly and even if it does get flagged and deleted, at least you know that I know and I know that you know that I know.... whaaat... ? u know what i mean. we can talk about it when you want.
But seriously, I'm really sorry, it seems a good thing turned sad. I think it's important to express feelings like this with others you trust, especially if you feel somewhat mired in a situation that's hard to pull yourself out of. (Glad you trusted us and this thread to share)
Talking about it openly, even if you're not looking for direction is good. sometimes just talking about it loosens up your mind so you can sort things better. If you'd like to talk more detail about it or get some moderate feedback one way or the other I'm absolutely here to listen and share.
You said you didn't think this person would find this thread. If he did would that cause you some grief.
I ask because, "can we go to your personal info page and see what your posts are?"
@IsayUncle Lol thanks! It did feel good to write it out. It's not a healthy friendship. I don't think it was from the beginning but I doubt myself a lot 😜
@mytwistedsoul
I doubt myself a lot too but I haven't acquired any stalkers yet, Whew 🤣.
I think it's good that you can recognize it and then make the decision to use your time with better friends or better activities so you don't get emotionally drained when you should be getting emotionally bolstered.
It matters 😄
I am gonna use my ADHD journal to motivate myself. It is a handwritten journal so I'm gonna have to take a picture of it at the end of the evening.
I'm starting very late to get a whole lot done because I could not get motivated today. I have so much mental blockage going on in my brain that I know I have to get past it before tomorrow and I can't wake up to this mess tomorrow.
Stay tuned for my progress (or lack of) with a photo of my ADHD journal at the end of the evening.
A partial list of the challanges. Cut up and package cook ham for the fridge, package the ham stock for the freezer, vacuum invasion of ladybugs around the windows, vacuum bedroom living room and office floors, do the dishes and clean the kitchen, do receipts and finish weekly paperwork. (that's good for starters)... oh yea, phone laundry and do more laundry, redo dog beds, unload chain link fence out of the back of the work truck.
@IsayUncle Good luck! The lady bugs are so bad right now
Dad's been released today and I figured out why the banners and images weren't loading! Had a stray backslash in the code.
Right now I'm refereeing the dog and cat (playing together) and it will be time to take the pup out again. She waited for an hour or so while I tried to figure out what was wrong.
@Enthenia
Ahhhhh. good news. That's nice, glad to hear about your dad. And your course is a nice bonus you earned. Good job.
@IsayUncle thanks. Just submitted the two assignments. Just have one left to do tomorrow.
Getting ready to submit the last assignment. It's a revised version of the previous assignment.
@Enthenia
Do you mean your last last assignment, like getting your certification or degree or just the last assignment for the course? Pins and needles pins and needles tell me tell me. 🤩😁🤣😂
LOL... But seriously, Congratulations1 that is sooooo Awesome!
@IsayUncle just the last assignment. I still have 20% to complete before I get the degree.
