Aug. 31, 22: Routine, Walking, Teaching, SM Season Ends, TV, and Games

[Another late morning and I’m short on posting time. 😭 I’m close, but probably not going to be able to finish completely on time…will have to edit.]

I don’t know what happened with FitBit last night. Sure, the snoring did wake me up pretty bad, but it split my sleep into two different sessions with about an hour in between them. I certainly don’t remember being up for an hour, so with the seven hours official and the hour that it didn’t count, I’m going to say it was close enough. We did get to bed relatively late last night, though, having gotten dinner after my evening class was over, so I was late getting up as well and didn’t get a start on the morning routine until after seven. 😱

Not really all that much notable going on during the usual stuff. Did some curation, checked the crypto markets (which are still sliding slowly downward), checked the SOL market and got some new members set up, shifted tokens, got caught up on Discord pings…all the usual. It did put a bit of a damper on my time to get my post done, but I did a decent one and got it posted and shared.

Got my head all situated around what we needed to cover today in Algebra and dinked around for a bit…I really should have headed out right after I posted and I could have got five kilometers in, but as it was I did four and a quarter.

Pretty beautiful day out again, but I was mostly in mathland in my head. Still, I did a couple solid stretches of jogging to get the heart rate up and earn my shower. 💪

Got back, grabbed my usual sandwich for lunch and then hopped in the shower to get ready to head on for teaching. I did somewhat better this time and was out the door only a couple minutes late. Traffic wasn’t too bad and I got there about fifteen minutes early and got everything set up to go.

I picked up from where we left off last time and we built up through linear functions, to quadratics and cubics and then to polynomials in general, and then focused back in on factoring (particularly factoring quadratics)…even with a five minute break in the middle, we got caught up to where we were supposed to be for the second class. 🤓

The drive home was uneventful other than a significant backup/slowdown caused by a road pirate with a truck pulled over…causing a hazard for everyone else on the road for the sake of generating revenue for the state; pretty clear it has nothing to do with anyone’s safety. 🤬

Surprisingly enough, my dShitty income actually went back up again today…kinda’ figured we were heading toward negative territory again, but I guess we have a temporary respite from the decline.

Ran the usual mission on Rising Star today and got some more drunk fans. Never mind them, though, for now I’m not worrying about my Ego and just got another mission going.

The waiting part of the game is finally over on HashKings and it’s time to harvest…and ask myself how 800 BUDS was worth waiting a week for. I guess that means I also have to fire up the computer, which may or may not actually happen in the immediate future.

I went in to Splinterlands this evening and realized that I actually didn’t claim my interest from yesterday. That was ok, though, since I got some more from the season chests and just claimed it altogether at once. The rewards come in staked already, which is great, makes that decision for me, but I left the interest liquid to hopefully swap out tomorrow or the day after. Still not done anything with my vouchers…just kinda’ sitting there in the background.

I wanted to play, well, it at least crossed my mind to play, but looking at that Silver II just pissed me off and I didn’t really want to after all. 😡

Got seventeen chests and a couple cards…still pretty sure it wasn’t worth the time I put into it, but hey, better than nothing for playing I suppose. I’m happy about getting another pack, though; just hanging onto them until they’re out of print and hoping to be able to sell them for a bit more, we’ll see. Patience is a virtue, right?
