Exactly!! She loves motorcycles, but prefers to ride on the back of one, and that's not gonna happen...other than that the only thing we have in common is we're both gay. Definitely not enough for what she's wanting.   Thank you for this, while I know it I needed to hear it    

TimovieMan walks in. "Barkeep, coffee please. Black." Not many are here yet. I thought they'd be fired up to get here...     Burnout? That's something Mrs. Movieman struggles with, not something *I* struggle with. My natural inclination towards apathy makes me nope out when things become too hectic, avoiding the problem altogether. Bore-out on the other hand... it's the above but swinging too much to the other side...

Look for new gifs not related to spam? Seriously though, your reports always make me laugh  

But then what do I do with all my animated spam gifs that I put in the reports??? 😇

That would be wonderful ❤️ 

And yes, hard agree on bodies are weird also a member of this group 🫂

I started on challenge 100, a 100-week challenge.  Things were going along fine back then but then something happened roughly 30 weeks earlier than expected:   Start looking for new job.   Turns out, there was a job fair at an agency that was on my radar for years.  I was supposed to do an internship there during my master's program but they didn't have someone who could do supervision hours; hence, I went to a different agency but was told to let them keep my resume for later.   Well, just like an RKO, out of nowhere,  the job opened up.  I had an interview to see about a part-time gig.  They would get back to me.  They couldn't make that position but they had a full-time.  So I went Spiderman on them:     ....and they did.  Now I'm making double the money than I'm making at the market and *less* money than Nursing Home and DudeBros job on paper, HOWEVER, I also get paid to do my notes (which I don't get now), and I get medical coverage (which I don't have now), and because it's a staff job, I get way less taken out in taxes since the other current situations are all 1099/contract-work. When you add all the benefits together and recalculate, I'm actually making more at this new place than all my other jobs *combined*.   This totally changed how the 100-week challenge was going to go.  This also helped me factor in what my interests are and how much time I want to dedicate to each aspect of my life.  For the 8 weeks before all this, I was enrolled in a therapy study so I got free therapy and got some $$$ for participating.   All this culminated in everything....just....adding up and making sense for the first time in close to 7 years, which is a huge thing for me.  I revamped the challenge and technically I'm counting last week as week1 so I'm trying to follow through with this.  It's not completed and at this point, I don't think I really even *need* a 100-week challenge, but I'd rather plan a chunk of this ahead and allow for flexibility if other things happen.   Week 1 Whole 30 [Clean House] Week 2 Consistent Wake-up/Bed-time [Clean House] [JURY DUTY wtf] Week 3 Move Back Home [Clean House] (Dr Appointment) Week 4 Start New Job onboarding / Organize Four Jobs / Job Time off Week 5 Follow up with hours needed for License Week 6 Enact Time-Slots setup: Nursing Home (Monday)  / DudeBros (Tuesday/Wednesday) Week 7 Freebie Week: Get acclimated to all the jobs Week 8 Job Ultimatum: Market Sundays or quit Week 9 Add +1 Slot - (Three filled: Mon/Tues/Wed) Week 10 Add +1 Slot - (Around this time, get bonus $. Also, medical should kick in around here) Week 11 Add +1 Slot - (Get Music list added for gym) Week 12 Add +1 Slot – (Dr follow up appointment) Week 13 Add +1 Slot – Reduce Youtube Week 14 Add +1 Slot – Reduce Youtube Week 15 Max Slots filled: Finish cleaning *my* house – major decision on pets Week 16 Re-evaluate Nursing Home Job/Hours.  Possibly quit. Week 17 Replace Nursing Home slot with new slot Week 18 Upgrade/Convert Slot {ex: Gym stretch – to- cardio, art minis – game, look into cost of arts} Week 19 Upgrade/Convert Slot {ex: Gym stretch – to- cardio, art minis – game, look into cost of arts} Week 20 Upgrade/Convert Slot {ex: Gym stretch – to- cardio, art minis – game, look into cost of arts} Week 21 Start studying for LICSW exam – Reduce Youtube Week 22   Week 23   Week 24   Week 25   Week 26   Week 27   Week 28   Week 29   Week 30     While I'm trying to onboard with the new job, I'm also still working 3 other jobs: Market, Nursing Home, DudeBros. I need to start cutting them down and I have a plan over the next 2-3 months to do that.  First on the chopping block is Market.  Then followed by Nursing Home.  I'll try to condense the clients at DudeBros, since I put my supervisor as a reference for this new job and he said the following text which I'll copy verbatim:   "We should be ready to hire full time within the next six months and will beat what they pay you.  Anyway something to think about.  But yes, I'll give an excellent review of your work and character"   Pitting this new job already with my current DudeBros job that I like and making even more money?         So let's get this challenge started right.  I'm heading out in 5 minutes to do onboarding and immunization stuff for the new job. Once I get back, I'm going to do some food shopping and batch cook Whole30 for the upcoming week.  Then I'll do cooking and cleaning, as well as fill out my background check and references information.  Finally, I'll follow up with the damn JURY DUTY summons I just got and find out wtf is going on with that.  Maybe tonight I'll do ghost-hunting or if I'm too tired (likely) I'll just check up on some people on stream and then tomorrow will be hopping on here to check with you lovelies and do cleaning at my ladyfriend's parent's house so we can put that godforsaken thing on the market before the new job starts.   It's 7am.  Time to hustle.  

Hiyas, Friend, and thank you.   I just noticed that it’s now the “previous challenge,” which means the new “current challenge” forums are open. Might make some tea and think about that for a minute.

I love the idea of glimmers.
