Mar. 24, 22: Routine, Errands, Crashing, TV, and Games

over 2 years ago

Holy crap! Tonight was a rough one!!! 😡 For starters I got to bed relatively late, past ten, and then the cat started howling and the wife was snoring around half past two. 😢 I got up, let the cat out, went to the bathroom, and then laid back down to try and go back to sleep, but I started thinking about the problem we got stuck on in Calculus and just had to accept that I was awake. That put me a solid four hours short and I was zombiefied for the entire morning.

I started the day by answering Calculus questions in the Discord and then worked on the problem that was bothering me. Took me a minute rewriting the problem to realize that I’d used the wrong formula (it was a frustum, not a cone). Got it figured out and done properly so I didn’t feel so bad about it:

Otherwise got on with the morning routine. It is looking like there’s some signs of life coming back into the markets and BTC is pushing up against the major resistance at $45k. HIVE popped back over a dollar, and even BAL caught a nice bid. ETH is on the trend as well, but I did gain back a little against it.

From what I understand Do Kwon is buying $10B worth of BTC to back UST stablecoin, so far bought around $125M but there’s already over a billion sitting set in the wallet. 🤑 That could be exactly the catalyst/demand we need to break through the ceiling and start toward price discovery!!!

Checked on the SOL market, took care of member balance changes, and set up this week’s PIMP vote. Shifted and staked up tokens, but not much action otherwise.

I got my Wordle for today, but didn’t do so well on Quordle or Octordle:

I started working on my post early (and got it done early) with the intention of scheduling it and hopefully going back to bed, but then I realized I needed to run my errands for the week, so I figured I’d best get that stuff done first before trying to sleep.

Ran to the bank, the smoke store, and the puffity-puff store and was back home in time to post. Unfortunately, Safari has been super glitchy lately and keeps freezing up. 🤬 For the second time it pulled that shit while I was trying to publish and I lost another minute I’ll have to wait for the goddamn brofund bot (does still make me chuckle a little that predictive text knows what I’m going to say as soon as I type “goddamn.” 😂). Total bull.

After I got my my post published and shared, the pot of coffee kicked in and I was only moderately tired, so I decided to play a little Oculus. Didn’t make it very long, though, just did a couple more levels of Onogoro and then quit out to grab some lunch.

After lunch I hit the wall, but like not even a wall, a sledgehammer (but then I guess that would hit me…whatever). I laid down about twelve thirty and put on the new He-Man series. I didn’t make it five minutes, though, before I was gone.

I slept hard, for real! Didn’t wake up again until Wenche came home from work around five thirty! 😮 I needed it bad, but that got me caught up with nearly nine hours altogether. 👍

Wenche made us chicken and rice and salad for dinner and we watched the new Jeff Foxworthy comedy special and then we watched a movie…trying to remember what it was called, but it was pretty good, a comedy about a guy who starts a scrap metal company…I can see his face, but can’t think of his name. 😡 Anyway, was worth a couple giggles and it wasn’t too preachy, so it kept me awake.

I had nearly six thousand steps left to go for the day, so I did pace some laps around the house, but I ended up doing a little shaking at the end to finish them out (so not completely legitimate).

As usual, I played my Splinterlands quest while we chilled in front of the tube and then I went to bed late again, well after ten.

Wow! Despite two crises in dShitty (because that’s normal in any given city to have crises just about every day, and multiple ones at that), my income actually went all the way up to nine! 😱 Whatever will I do? How can dShitty survive such inflationary pressures?!

I did remember to go in to Rising Star a couple of times today. I had some temporary drunk fans, but decided not to risk it and didn’t a lesson for good measure. Otherwise, just trying to slog through levels, slowly but surely.

Wee! It’s harvest time again on HashKings. 🤑 And I got another one coming tomorrow! 👍 A bit boring in between (would be nice to be able to do Raids on the phone - forgot again), but I suppose it’s a pretty solid start.

Kinda’ questioning whether it’s a good idea to keep focusing on Mexico plots (for the sake of simplicity) or try to branch out in the hope of better BUDS production. 🤔

Nugs tomorrow:

Nugs today!

Been keeping up with my Splinterlands quests and played mine out this evening as well. Got a bit frustrated with it, but kept going and made some solid progress today. 💪

With just under a week left in the season, I got up into Diamond:

I got Life splinter for my quest again, but switched it for Sneak instead. Not too bad, was bouncing on the borderline for a bit, but got it done in Diamond III. Rewards were pretty meh again, but at least the one rare:

Staked my SPS drop for the day (down to about 110 now 😢) and checked in on my voucher balance. They still haven’t moved by much, but they’re really starting to burn a hole in my pocket!
