May 8, 22: Routine, Grocery Shopping, Oculus, Mowing, TV, and Games

[First day of the summer semester starts today, so I started on my post yesterday and will hopefully be able to get at least the basic structure done before I have to leave. I’m teaching pretty early, nine o’clock, so need to leave by eight, get ready by seven…not going to be a whole lot of time to work on my posts on Mondays and Wednesdays for the next couple months. We’ll see, hopefully by doing as much as I can beforehand I’ll still be able to get decent posts done, but no guarantees. 😁]

Slept nine to six today, and although it was a little broken, I still ended with a solid eight hours! 🥳 Didn’t feel too bad today and was motivated enough to get some yard work done.

Did the usual morning routine and cryptos were looking even uglier than they have been. 😢 BTC broke $35k and everything seems to be giving up double digits (or close). Luckily, ETH has fallen proportionally as well, so I haven’t lost so much relative to it, but just wait until tomorrow…

Got chatting over in Discord about the whale downvote war that seems to have been going on between Marky and Arcange…not at all what downvotes are for. 🤬 It seems like it may have stopped now (Marky back to making ridiculous amounts for his posts)…if only we could actually do something about the fact that the majority of us disagree with those rewards (give him a taste of his own bully medicine). But, it started to get late, so I jumped out and finished up my post. [Brofund did not vote me this time. I don’t get it.]

After I got my post published and shared, I headed into town, as is habit on Sundays, to do the weekly grocery shopping. I did grab a splurge (teriyaki jerky), but was able to get out the door for seventy-five, about half of our normal total, which is what I was hoping for. I still grabbed some turkey meat or I would have been even less.

Got home, put everything away, and considered taking the dogs for a walk. My back and hip and leg was hurting, though, so I went into the Oculus instead.

I learned about a free game on AppLab: Pioneer Endless Journey. Stupid name, but it’s a rogue-lite shooter where you collect pistol parts to upgrade. Totally fun and super hard! Even better that it was free! Plowed through a couple hours playing that like it was nothing (and only came to within two levels of the final boss - it’s super hard).

I quit out and still had most of the afternoon ahead of me. I was still hurting, but I didn’t want to waste the rest of the day, so I went out and mowed the lawn. Of course, that also meant playing pick-up-sticks first (which didn’t make my back feel any better). Got it done, though, first mow of the season, and it looks pretty nice. 👍

Got a hot shower and made myself some hot dogs and spaghetti o’s for dinner, which I hadn’t had in like ten years or more, played my Splinterlands quest in no time, then got ready for bed and watched an episode of Rick and Morty before falling asleep.

[I’ll be in the middle of class at ten when I normally post, so since I’m not worried about the Brofund bot any more, thinking I might just post early before I leave, we’ll see, don’t really trust the scheduling function.]

dShitty is about as shitty as ever, but not as shitty as it has been historically. General crime messed with me a bit, but I guess I’m happy it actually has an effect?

Just about the same on Rising Star. Had some drunks for a while but ignored them and did gain some actual Ego, so started a lesson for now.

HashKings is still boring. I’m ready for a harvest now, but I’m busy all day, so it’s not likely to happen. Not really sure what my goal is with this…crafting pinners is too expensive for the XP they yield; might just sell the BUDS off and try and get back what I put in.

Splinterlands went as smoothly as it possibly could today! 😁 Three wins, won one done. 👍

Had three wins without neutral monsters for my quest today and bing, bam, boom! got it done in Diamond III. Not very good on the DEC, but did get an epic:

Just staked my SPS drop which, for the first time, fell below a hundred. 🤬😭 I did move about fifty vouchers out the other day, but still haven’t sold them…got like sixty sitting there waiting.

I forgot my Wordles today. 😭
