Feb. 20, 22: Routine, Grocery Shopping, Discord, TV, and Games

[Urrrgggh, I’ve spent most of the morning getting prepared for today’s teaching and only just realized how late it’s gotten! 😱 I got a start on the structure of this post earlier this morning, but it’s not looking like I’m going to have much time to do the blog part or have a decent word count…we’ll see.]

Not much going on during the morning routine other than the disappointment of checking on my DeFi investments on Aave to find that I’ve lost even more. I guess one small consolation is that the interest rate on BAL has gone back up a little, but that won’t nearly make up for the hundreds I’ve lost since the instant I made that swap. 😡😭 I’m definitely farther now from earning back the FIRE loss, even retraced some of what I had made. Faaaaaaack!

In general, it seems, the crypto markets are being brutal, but quite to the contrary PIZZA has been popping! Got Witty over into the server the other day and pimptoken went hard in on PIZZA and then there was the announcement of partnership with CARTEL. Got some pumpage:

We knew the catalysts, though, so I figured it was likely to be a volume spike and we’d retrace back fairly quickly (which absolutely did happen). Still, there may come an influx of demand from the partners’ users as well that may drive the price up more sustainably going forward. Either way, they’re making moves and building over there!

Got my post done and shared for the day and we headed into town to do the usual weekly grocery shopping. Man, it hits hard! When we first got married about five years ago, we spent about eighty to a hundred dollars a week on groceries. Now, even not getting extra stuff, we push two hundred just about every time! 🤬🤬🤬 I mean, I really like Frappachinos, but for three dollars a piece? No.

To be honest, I spent quite a bit of time over in their server. Definitely worth a laugh most of the time and nearly always people around and events happening. I even got to see Creo mix techno music live, which was totally cool! 😎 Not to mention that there’s nearly always tips and airdrops and giveaways flying in there…I actually have quite a lot to show for that time! 😁

[Dang it! Didn’t get very far. 😡 Got to get ready to go (and just set an alarm to post while I’m driving 🤬), but hopefully I’ll get a chance to come back and finish later…although, I know how that good intention generally goes.]

I got a whole SIM today from dShitty! 😮 Not sure why they’re being so generous. 😛

I got a couple missions done today on Rising Star, but not too much interesting otherwise. My Ego popped up, but it was just temporary drunks and I left it alone, but it does seem that it has started to rise again on its own. Going to need to do some lessons here to get that back down.

Played my Splinterlands quest in the evening as usual. Didn’t really play all that much, though, just enough to get my quest done. Tried a couple for good measure after, but that was pointless again.

Not really made much progress in the ranks the last couple days. I had a tier head start this season, though, so I’m hoping that I’m still on pace.

Had three wins without neutral monsters for my quest again today and got it done in fairly short order. Still in Gold II, but I did get another Untamed pack in addition to a couple cards for munching:

Not too bad on the pack! Got an epic, a rare, and a gold foil:

Staked up my SPS drop for the day and didn’t really make any more moves over on H-E, so didn’t feel the immediate urge to sell any vouchers; just left them sit.
