Dec. 14, 21: Routine, Finishing up with Final Prep, Early Teaching, Oculus, TV, and Games
Got up relatively early again this morning, just after four thirty. I got to bed relatively late last night, so ended up about an hour and a half short again. I can’t say that I’m particularly motivated, but had stuff to do, so caffeine and nicotine it is.
I woke up still thinking about the final exam for Calc II. I got it done last night, but wanted to get my prints done before (early) class today and still needed to go over examples with the students for class today…so even though the stress level was significantly lower than yesterday, not exactly come down entirely…shoulders about half way to my ears. 😂
Did the usual morning routine and cryptos are about the same as they have been. Seeing a little green, but nothing major; generally speaking still down pretty hard from recent levels. HIVE kinda’ hurts from around $3 hammered down to $1.5 or so. 😱 Regardless, we’re overall much higher than we were (up about 100% from the $.8 we were pegged to for so long), so there’s not much complaining to do there.
Got a reasonably early start on my post and was able to complete a fairly decent one before I needed to get ready to go. I was behind by a few minutes to be early enough to get the copies done and I hit traffic as well (a bit more stress) but I did get the copies made and was in class a few minutes early.
We focused on reviewing for the final exam and basically just went through examples of the questions on the exam with the numbers changed. Took us right up until the end of class with questions and everything, so they should be fine on the time to finish it.
The drive home was smoother and I grabbed a sandwich for lunch when I got home. It was at that point that I tried to tell myself that it was ok to let the shoulders down, but it was only half-hearted since the other little voice immediately jumped in with “but you’re not done yet, still two more days and then grading.” Even so, I am prepared and the work is done. Just have to give the exams now for the next two classes.
It was also at that point that I have to ask myself to what positive, productive end should I focus my energies…only response: don’t really got that much energy (not the answer I was looking for). As you can probably guess (from the title 😜) I did not do anything of any value, but I did catch and release some imaginary fish. 🤪
I’ve been keeping an eye on my BeeSwap investment, but still haven’t solidified on what route to take. I have the feeling that what I may lose on the conversion between DEC and SPS (more than the difference I would get from switching pools), but leaving the value just in DEC and moving it in-game means that I did spend more on Splinterlands…although I think I might be able to justify it in that most of it came from the sale of vouchers that I got for free anyway. I really just want @solairitas to grow regardless of token sales (or not sales as the case may be 😂).
It’s been an embarrassingly long time since I worked on the website and I’m really starting to feel that push to work on it again now that it’s colder and working in the garage isn’t as nice (never mind that I’m still completely stuck as to what to do about the brakes). I’m still stuck, though, but the problem isn’t going to solve itself…I’m sure I’m making it more difficult than it is (the main barrier currently being the interaction with the Hive blockchain). At least I’ve started thinking about it again and feeling like I should try and work on it.
I did lay down for a while and watched Looper (again) but didn’t nap or anything and then got up and made turkey tacos for dinner. I knew that Wenche was going to be later than usual (which is partly why I started) but she didn’t get home in time to help me finish and I had one eaten by the time she did. That was about right, though, ‘cause I eat two and she eats one, so we finished at the same time.
Not too much else going on for the evening. Played some Splinterlands to get into Diamond before the reset and then watched a little bit of Teenage Bounty Hunters before bed.
So yesterday it was like three different excuses, today just one. My dShitty bank got robbed for about 50%, ‘cus maf. [Just remember, you do get HIVE every day from this game…sigh.]
CryptoSuckmaster sucks no less today than yesterday.
Just did a couple more missions on Rising Star today like every other day mostly. I’m right at the line of level 44, and then a whole other level to slog through before I unlock the next mission. Haven’t bothered to fuss about the next one, but I think it’s like thirty more levels after that, so like, equivalent to never.
Well, it was tight and I really didn’t want to play today, being the last day of the season, but I couldn’t leave it in Gold, so even though I didn’t worry about doing my daily quest for today I played until I got into Diamond.
Even though I don’t have any rewards for the day, I do have ten more chests from season rewards (and a bit of DEC) to show for my playing. Got just over the line to Diamond and I’m just leaving it there until the reset.
I think, IF I play this evening after the reset I can stay current and not miss a daily quest. We’ll see, though, playing right after usually isn’t much fun.
Got my stats for the last week, well yesterday actually, but I forgot to include it in yesterday’s post. I still find it surprising how much sleep I’m getting on average considering how much it hits me when I’m short…still, averaging an hour below my target per night, which adds up. Need to crank my activity up in general, don’t like that my steps have fallen consistently below 100k for a week.
