Dec. 27, 21: Routine, Oculus, TV, and Games
It seems that I’ve definitely fallen into a pattern, one that doesn’t leave a whole lot of room to be productive in the real world. I suppose it’s good that I recognize it, but knowing is only half the battle…
At least when it was warmer I could get out in the garage and putz a bit, but even though it has been unseasonably warm this winter, it’s still not really comfortable to work out there (hands get cold real fast). I’d taken that as a solid excuse to get back to work on the website, but for some weird reason when I seriously think about getting to work my stomach starts and I get all anxious. I don’t understand why, but I need to get past it.
Got up a little before five this morning and was a little annoyed that I was woken up by some telemarketing call(s) and texts. 😡 Could barely understand the guy on the voice message he left, but what I did catch is that they sent an email to some rando inbox, so they didn’t really have a clue as to who I am. Even more annoying that it was so early, but I was pretty darn close to a full eight hours anyway.
Although I still haven’t made a firm decision about whether I want to do the KYC for Pi, I have taken all the necessary steps to get ready for the transition to Mainnet up to that point. Regardless, the verification process is currently only available for a small number of people to trial and so I couldn’t even if I decided to. I’m fairly certain I will, hate to walk away from the value that might be there, but it’s going to depend on how intrusive it is…I have a feeling they’re going to want a PDF of a bank statement, and I’m not at all cool with that.
Still been keeping a close eye on my DeFi investment since I upped my risk. So far it’s doing fine, but I do have to admit that I’m a lot more nervous about it and am checking on it more frequently; might be a sign to myself that I should back it off again, not worth being worried about.
Speaking of DeFi investments, I’ve also been monitoring my income from the pools…not sure why I would have expected anything else from those who brought you dShitty, but the payout is spotty at best from what I can tell. I’m in two pools, so I should be getting two BXT payments per day…generally lucky if I get one, and they’re almost never what they say they should be on the website. Like I said, not sure why I thought it would be any different.
HIVE is still looking strong with a pop up over $1.8, but I do have a feeling that some of these pumps might be more for airdrops upcoming (Ragnorock and 3Speak) than for any long term hodling, so we may see a pretty hard pullback right after. In the meantime, green candles are nice! BTC got up over $51k as well, hoping that $50k will provide a little psychological support, but we’ll see.
Otherwise, did all the usual stuff I do every morning…smoked way too many cigarettes 🚬 and did my post for the day. Other than some dishes and a shower, not much different happening there.
I wanted to get my playing/procrastinating done early to leave myself the entire afternoon to work, so I played some Song in the Smoke for a while. It took quite a few tries, and like fifteen poison arrows over a two day battle, but I did beat the area boss and have started gathering materials in preparation for moving to the next area. Got that progress saved and locked in and then grabbed a sandwich for lunch.
It was at that point that I should have been strict with myself and done something, but I hit that wall and laid down in front of the tube instead. I finally watched the last episode of Detectorists (tried twice and fell asleep both times) and they ended it really nicely…made me feel warm and fuzzy. Sad that it’s over, though, that was a good one.
Hunted around for something else to watch for a while and stumbled on Neverland. It was pretty good as well, a retelling of the Peter Pan story, and killed another three hours whoosh like it was nothing! I did, at least, make it through without falling asleep for whatever that’s worth…but even as I laid there “being entertained,” I couldn’t help to reflect on the fact that I was a waste of space.
Got up for a bit and did some moving around toward my daily step goal and had a quick bowl of cereal for dinner. Hunted around yet again for something to watch and landed on a series about an abrasive substance abuse counselor (can’t think of the title) with the guy from Office Space. I watched the first couple episodes and it seems good, but fell asleep before too long.
I do need to start looking toward getting ready for next semester. I’ve got Calculus I again, so that’s easy enough to prepare for (for stuff from this last semester), but I’ve also got College Algebra and it has been quite some time since I taught that, so might take more work than I’m expecting…seems to be the case whenever I take for granted that I have everything already. 😆 We don’t start until the tenth, so I have more than a week even after the New Year…reason enough to keep procrastinating for now. 😜
[It is now 9:36 and I’m pretty well done with this post, but today I get to wait until ten past ten before I can post or else get skipped by brofund 😡 Can’t really do much now other than kill time…if I get involved with something else I’m likely to miss it and make it even worse - as has happened several times. Otherwise I have to set an alarm and stop whatever I’m doing. Can’t say it isn’t highly frustrating.]
[On yet another side note, I tried my damndest to turn this nothingburger day into a fifteen hundred word post - so farking close!]
Got both riots and fires in my dShitty today, but it didn’t seem to affect my SIM income all that much. Shall we call it “dOnlySortaShitty” today? 🤣
May your CryptoFuckmaster brews be ever Regular Lagers.
Wooot! After weeks, if not months, I finally got the next mission! 🥳 I ran the numbers and getting to the next level alone (not even sure how many levels to the next mission) will take approximately 65.7 hours of in game play time, so the next mission should only be about six months away. 😛
I honestly can’t believe that I’ve left Splinterlands sitting this long. Only two days left of this season and then the utter pain of getting buried in Bronze. Maybe down there I can actually get a win? 🤪
Went in and staked my SPS for today. I still have some vouchers waiting on the market, but did take some value out yesterday. Went in and got some more PIMP, but not sure what else to do with the funds…as you can tell from what I said above, I’m not all that chuffed with BeeSwap, so not really feeling like going harder in there. Been considering getting some more PIZZA as well, but thinking some divvy paying token would be smarter.
Not sure if it’s all that much to be proud of these days, but I got my stats for the last week:
Not too happy that my lifetime step average has been on a consistent downward trajectory, but I did get out for a walk once this week and I am very glad that my sleep is averaging to nearly eight hours, nearly an hour over last week (except there’s at least two naps in there).
