Dec. 28, 21: Routine, DeFi/Red Candles, Oculus, Laundry, TV, and Games
Up this morning just shortly after five and another solid night’s sleep in the bag! Although it is definitely quiet and a bit lonely without the wife around, between no snoring and the cat being out all night, it hasn’t been bad for my sleep.
I really thought today was going to be the day that I broke the pattern of uselessness I’ve fallen into, but time has borne out that it was not to be the case.
Did the usual morning routine and was shocked to find the crypto markets in hard reds. 😢😱 Kind of thought HIVE would hold up at least until the airdrops, but it got hit hard:
BTC broke back below $50k and MATIC took a wicked tumble. I’d been nervous about my increased borrowing position for the past couple days and with such a sharp loss in the value of my collateral I got extremely uncomfortable. I was still in the green, but getting towards yellow, and decided to back it off a bit again. That’s why I always keep more funds deposited than borrowed, so I can pay it immediately if I want to (and aren’t forced to sell lower to cover the difference). 👍
We did bounce a little later on, but it’s still looking scary! Otherwise, all the usual. My foot is getting noticeably better now, but being more diligent about switching my socks every time I scrub and treat means that I’m going through a lot more socks and it was time to do laundry again already. Did the socks separately again, but I’ve not been seeing any goo on them or on the bandages, so I’m thinking they might not be as biohazard anymore as I’m treating them. Either way, I’m glad that it isn’t hurting as much, but still there in a couple places.
Spent the usual time putting together my post for the day…do have to say that I’m very thankful for the regular support I’ve been getting! 🥰 For a long time it really felt like spending so much time wasn’t worth the effort, but now I do quite well and, although I’m not at Marky’s level where I can make a hundred bucks by farting onchain, I’m quite happy with my rate of growth and am thankful that people have taken notice. I do still wonder from time to time what my exit strategy will be (if I ever take profits)…my goal was Orca and I have that, Whale seems pretty much out of the question, so I’m not quite sure what my goal is there now either. 🤔
After I got my post done and shared it was time to get to work…I mean, time to play Song in the Smoke on the Oculus. 😛 I got myself established in the next area and found one of the three quest stones. Did some exploring, but ended up having to battle quite a few predators just to get around. Luckily, I didn’t die at all and was able to lock my progress in.
Grabbed my usual sandwich for lunch and then it that familiar wall. Watched the end of Zach Stone is gonna’ be Famous and a few episodes of The Norsemen. I’d watched the first episode and thought it was kind of weird rather than funny, but having given it another shot, it’s alright. It has a lot of the actors from Lillehammer and they have that Norwegian accent that tickles me. 😄
I had some leftover spinach pie from dinner the other night and fried some Canadian bacon to go with it and then folded and put away the laundry I’d done.
I still had several thousand steps left for the day (of course) having laid around and watched TV for most of the afternoon and evening, so I did some moving around to finish out and got ready for bed. Only just barely got it, but the streak remains alive.
Watched a few more episodes of Loudermilk, the show about the harsh substance abuse councilor and fell asleep about the normal time…Man cannot live on Netflix alone.
Sixty-five minus twelve is sixty-five is not at all how dShitty math works, but I’ll take it. They were shitty in a different way and didn’t pay any WEED instead.
First they put up capital controls, then they made you buy a license to withdraw, then they put up an ASH paywall to withdraw, then completely abandoned the token. This is why this game has earned the name CryptoFuckmaster.
One mission and one lesson is all I had the time and energy to be able to do on Rising Star today. Did the first time through the new mission and was rewarded with a whopping fifty Starbits! 😱 Set to retire on my private island now!!! 😛 Only seventeen more missions and I unlock my first pack…how much you wanna’ bet they’ll be cards I already purchased?
Not only did I finally play Splinterlands today, but I actually did well! It’s been aggravating me looking at that Silver ranking and knowing how much of suckness it will be when I get reset all the way to Bronze, just couldn’t leave it at that!
I gave up on trying to finish my Earth quest in Gold and just finished it out:
Had three with without neutral monsters for my quest today and finished it back in Gold III at least:
Now that I’ve had a solid win streak, it’s basically a guarantee that I’m going to get screwed back down again, which is why I quit while I was ahead.
I have a feeling that this next brawl is going to be tough as well, Bronze Untamed…all I really have from that deck are rewards cards, so makes for a very limited selection.
Just staked my SPS again today and am still sitting on the vouchers I have on the market. They dipped pretty hard, so holding out for a bounce. I did buy some more PIMP for solairitas with the funds from my previous sale, but still have some dry powder.
