Dec. 18, 21: Routine, Oculus, Airport, and Games

Well, to be honest, still trying to get my shoulders back down after last week. Still, had some stuff to do today. For the next week or so, though, I don’t think I have anything I really have to do…and think I may have found a solution to the problem I was struggling with on the website, so starting to feel some oomph to actually get to work on that.

Tonight was a nearly exact carbon copy of last night, up at five, and in bed late, so almost two more hours short. I dragged pretty hard after lunch, but had stuff to do, so simply couldn’t lay down.

Not too much to note regarding the morning routine. MATIC is still going quite strong and although it lost a little ground against ETH it seems to have gained it back. I’m already at a 2X with that investment in dollar terms, but I’ve only made back quarter of my loss relative to Ethereum. Either way, my risk profile is solidly green now and I’m almost considering borrowing a bit more USDT…waiting for now, though, since that would make me more sensitive to downward movement.

Did my post and all that same ol’ stuff I usually do and then Wenche had an appointment with the waxing and nail lady. I feel a bit guilty since I have several games that I haven’t finished (and a couple I’ve only played for a few minutes 🤬), but I’ve been checking to see if any other new games have come out. There is, of course, Medal of Honor, which despite all my fighting with myself I’m likely to end up getting anyway, but it’s a fairly straightforward run-and-gun and it’s relatively expensive, so been looking for something else.

There’s another big one Rise of the Fall, I think, but been resisting that one as well for some reason. After a bit of searching, I did settle on a new game, though…another one I’ve been resisting for a while since I was afraid it would be a massive time sink: Song in the Smoke.

I played through the first couple areas and it’s pretty good. It’s very immersive and the crafting is cool. The inventory management is the real hard part, as with any crafting/survival games…always that struggle with having to dump a good item you’ve been hanging onto for an item you need to craft something else.

I am by myself, on break, for the next two weeks, so a massive time suck is “justifiable.” Although I would actually like to accomplish something; my sense of self-worth in that regard has been falling like the price of Splinterlands vouchers. 😝

Anyway, played that for a little while and then cleaned myself up for some intimate time before Wenche had to go to the airport. I took her in and the drive was fine, but the entrance to the terminal was hardcore backed up. That’s why we plan ahead and leave with buffer time. I dropped her off and then headed home.

It was very tempting to put on the tube when I got home, but I knew I would inevitably fall asleep and then be up in the middle of the night. I grabbed the leftover chicken and rice from yesterday for dinner and then played a bit more Song in the Smoke.

Mom choked on a pill today and went to the emergency room because she couldn’t talk and was hurting after the coughing trying to get it out. I was at the airport, so I couldn’t help, but she called me when she got back. Sounds like they tested for everything but the kitchen sink and didn’t help her at all with her throat, which is what was really bothering her. I think she probably pulled or strained some muscles and/or tendons coughing; she sounded better, but hoping a sleep and some tea and honey will help.

Needless to say, between playing Oculus and a couple hours of driving, I was a teeeeeny bit short on my steps for the day, like four thousand, to be more precise. 😛 I was really starting to crash, so it was rough, but I did get them done watching Inside Job and then basically collapsed. Got a pretty broken night’s sleep with getting up to pee several times and the cat, but that a story for another time.

Sixty-eight is eighty…hmmm, that is not at
all how dShitty math works, but ok, I guess that takes the edge off the sting of yesterday.

As of yesterday, I’d decided to finally drop this CryptoSuckmaster portion of my post, but I’m thinking about skipping it I realized I still have CBM sitting in there…doubt that dumping it will be worth the time, though, which is why I haven’t bothered up to this point. Really wish they’d change their philosophy about players’ assets and who they belong to.

Been a while since I’d done a lesson, and my Ego was high (from temporary drunks again, but made me think about it), so I did one today and a mission or two as well. More or less just the same thing.

Really felt the impetus to play Splinterlands several times today, been several days and I’m way behind pace for the season. I didn’t actually want to, but figured it was best to try it.

It continued to suck and I’m just that much deeper into Silver and that much farther away from my monsters having their proper abilities, which makes it even harder. So frustrated with these OP rented decks. 🤬

Starting to get a significant balance of vouchers piling up. Really thinking they’re useless to me and I should convert them to something else and hopefully put them to work earning passive income in some way. They aren’t doing me much good sitting there considering I won’t be able to use them (not giving them more cash) for the remainder of the next umpteen million packs.
