Nov. 13, 22: Routine, Grocery Shopping, Walking, TV, and Games

[Alright! Getting a solidly early start on my post this morning. Got the skeleton done and started into the text and it’s not even eight thirty yet. Should be able to get done early this morning. (good start on the week) 😁💪]

Fell asleep relatively early last night, a bit before nine, but I was up in the middle of the night and moved out to the couch. Had a bit of trouble getting back to sleep, worried about a tick we think the cat has, but I did eventually get back to sleep and made it through all the way until seven thirty which put me a good hour over my goal for the day. 😁 Still struggling a bit with motivation, but I didn’t drag so hard today, so seems like I caught up a little. 👍

Can’t think of all that much interesting to note about the morning routine, was routine as these things tend to be. Cryptos are still in a scary zone…seeing a bit more red candles today, but not by much at least, a percentage point or two. Back to losing .4 ETH on Polygon, though…maybe should have taken my exit opportunity when I had it?

Kinda’ lost track of time chatting on Discord, though, and got a super late start on my post. I got it done on time, though, surprisingly and got it published and shared and then got ready to head in to do the weekly grocery shopping like we usually do on Sundays.

Mostly just got the normal stuff, but with meats and fish we busted like $160 this time…only ever seems to go up (while the portions get smaller). 😡

Got everything put away, gave the animals their lunch and got a sandwich for myself. Spent a bit of time starting to prepare for teaching Calculus for Tuesday’s class…being the first time through, it really does take a lot of extra time; not like Algebra that I’m sure I could do upside-down hanging by my toenails.

I decided as well to try and take care of the CD I bought at the Carbon Leaf concert. Been putting it off since it involved using the laptop and the hassle (and waiting) that comes with that. It took me about an hour to get the CD ripped into my collection, get it to sort properly being the second disk in a four disk series, and getting the album cover (which really was a bitch; ended up having to get a jpeg via the phone and email it to myself, could only find vector graphics versions with the computer that wouldn’t display). 🤷

Then came the biggest dread…plugging the phone into the laptop. That took another solid hour for it to “copy diagnostic information” and finally sync up. 😡 I still don’t have it backed up to the network drive, but I’ve got it in iTunes on the computer and on the phone, so I can at least listen to it in the car and I’d had enough waiting for it (not being able to use the phone the entire time).

By then it was already starting to get a bit late and I’d been intending to go out for a short walk for a good hour (had hoped it wouldn’t have taken that much time, but I kinda’ knew…) and I suited up and headed out. Definitely not a proper walk, but I did get out there at least.

Was cold and windy out again and snowing 🌨 but not heavy. Kind of strange, been snowing off and on pretty much for the last two days but none of it has stuck around at all. 😮 Only just like light flakes, enough to be annoying and blow in your eyes, but not enough to make anything white. I have a sneaking suspicion that it’s building up and it’s going to dump on us all at once.

After I got back, I folded the laundry Wenche had done and got it put away and then set the table for dinner. Wenche made us pasta and meat sauce and then we watched some more SuperStore (couldn’t really find anything else after hunting around again) pretty much until bedtime.

I played some WombPlay games after the daily reset and did a little more prep for teaching, got myself ready for bed, and crashed out fairly early again.

[Woot! Done forty minutes early today! Thinking I’m going to schedule it and get a head start on my walk for the day. 👍]

Ah, ok. Here we go. Got my favorite: General Crime and an economic crisis in dShitty today. Maybe it was the shitstorm of the century and we’re only now just coming through the eye?

I had actually been pretty amazed at how long my Ego remained at zero on Rising Star (except for the damn drunks). Now that the drunk fans have expired, though, it’s nonzero and I switched over to a lesson to get it back down.

Maybe I should just eliminate this HashKings portion of my post…not been any changes in weeks and I just say the same thing every day: didn’t sit at the computer to deal with it (kinda’ wish I didn’t have to…if it was a couple quick clicks on the phone then it wouldn’t sit at all). 🤬

My Splinterlands rental income went up by a little today to $3.5, but the fee went up as well (more than eight SPS today 🤬). Speaking of which, SPS seems to have this peculiar property that the more I accrue, the less my balance is worth…about a quarter of what it was like six months ago (although, to be fair, my Hive balance is down about that far as well 😭).

Claimed my interest for the day and left it liquid to pay the rental fee and then decided to stake the rest. Still have the batch I moved out the other day sitting on the market, plus I should move some of that DEC out so I feel like I’m actually earning something, so for now just going to try and build my (falling value) balance for the next few days.
