June 21, 21: Routine, Moar DeFi, Oculus, New Grill First Use, Laps, TV, and Games
Slept till seven this morning and close enough to call it a full night. š I do have to admit that my sleep cycle is getting a lot better. Still not majorly motivated, but getting things done here and there.
Not too happy during the morning routineā¦absolute bloodbath in the crypto markets, and particularly FIRE has just been non-stop collapsing. šØš± I was nervous about it before, now Iām getting so anxious Iām starting to resent it.
Itās all just paper until you make a move, though, so just waiting and trying not to lock in my lossesā¦exactly how you get left holding the bags. š„ŗ
Started trying to find some other projects on Polygon to try and spread my risk out a bit. Decided not to go harder into FIRE (even though I should probably buy while itās on sale) and instead gave Aave a shot.
The interest rates are painful in comparison, but the loans are collateralized, so itās a lot less risk, and a shitton more liquidity. I also like that you earn interest in the token you lend rather than only earning FIRE like on Polydragon and then having to swap (for a crashing price).
Additionally, the interest compounds automatically like Glass, so itās not income until you swap it outā¦or maybe I need to rethink that one. š¤
Anyway, Iām a bit frustrated with 4% interest, but thatās a heck of a lot better than Iād get at a bank and it wasnāt earning anything sitting in my wallet as ETHā¦but then I ask myself āwhat do you have to show for it, for all your āsmart movesā and stress?ā And the only answer I can point to is ātax liability.ā š
Played some more Lies Beneath on the Oculus. It really is a fun game, weāll done, but the motion does seem to get to me kindaā quick. I made progress through a couple chapters, though, and downloaded a new AppLab game that I havenāt tried out yet.
We finally got our new grill yesterday and I got it out together, but I got worn out and didnāt have the gumption left to get the propane and do all that, so that was my job in the afternoon. Thereās a propane shortage, thoughā¦one store didnāt have any and I ended up having to pay $11 more for it than normal price.
Fought with it for a bit, wouldnāt light, to the point that I started swearing and wanted to throw a fit, but, I took the valve off and reattached it and then we were cooking with gas (like literally).
That was the first time I ever really grilled anything myself and certainly the first time on my own grill. Felt very manly when that yummy steak smell came wafting outā¦thought āyay, Iām the one making that smell this time.ā š
I still have another project to doā¦replace the flood light on the back porch, but it was raining most of the day and itās going to be a serious nightmare getting the old one out. Going to have to remove the siding and then God knows what in behind there; itās on like a post sticking out, so Iām hoping thatās just attached on the outsideā¦remains to be seen.
Been trying (not very successfully) to cut back on my smokingā¦both my chest and throat/sinuses have been bothering me, enough that Iāve had to reduce my health stat by at least ten percent and had to get some throat lozenges to combat it. If you have to buy something to fix the problem your causing, itās time to admit that itās a problem. [I learned that watching Hoarders š if you have to buy a BB gun to kill your mouse infestation, then your hoarding is a problem - same idea here]
After dinner (which turned out quite well - especially for my first time), I still had quite a few steps left to go for the day, so busted out some laps to get it done and then watched some Black Lightning on the tube. It isnāt too bad, but of course thereās all the race crap in thereā¦wish shows could just be entertaining rather than having to thoughtshape all the time.
Went to bed around ten, good adult time, and fell asleep watching some F is for Family.
How much growth have I lost, even getting double-digit SIM income, when I should be getting around four hundred per day? All I see is broken promises and failed tokenomics; sad really.
Income is 71, but I get 60, ācause itās a mathematical game, right? Math is what they do well.
Got one win in the arena, but otherwise I donāt have any expectations of getting my daily Holybread tasks doneā¦yet another game that just becomes a waste of time, and we wonder why HIVE just continues to crash?
Itās amazing that Iām still hanging on to the top ten, let alone sixth, but I suppose thereās only like two or three people playing (if that) and itās been more than a month now since itās been worth anything.
How about this for a bullshit lossā¦happens quite frequently. I lose, but only by a tiny fraction. š¤¬
Once again, another one ingredient day over on CryptoBrewmaster. Not getting much out of playing this, but Iām not putting in all that much effort either, so fair is fair.
Still growing on Rising Star, havenāt made it to level fifteen yet, but getting closer, and I completed a hundred missions and got a card! I got a pizza box, super useful (save up energy for later) and super expensive! š¤š
Guess Iām just waiting for when Iāll turn sour on this one as well (probably a matter of time), but at least not yet.
Itās like three days in a row now that Splinterlands hasnāt been fun to play. It just seems to be frustrated as fuckā¦not sure if itās new players with rented cards or OGs sitting in Gold to get easy wins.
Got the Neutral quest done and got crappy potions, as usual, but at least one card so I donāt have to feel completely bad about myself for continuing to play:
