Feb. 19, 21: Furnace Stress, Sleeping, Oculus, More Sleeping, Laps, and Games

about 3 years ago

The last two nights I’ve been woken up by the cold from the furnace shutting itself down. 🤬 Tonight we made it to the morning before it still shut off again, but even so I was up before half past three and more than two more hours short.

I was basically wrecked the whole day. I was glad that the furnace had kept going, but then it errored out again and the stress levels went through the roof. Not happy that I’m having the struggle with a new furnace and I really don’t want to have to pay for someone to look at it.

It could just be a sensitive limit switch, which is relatively easy to replace, but the question is why is it overheating? It has been exceptionally cold out, so it’s running hard, but that’s exactly when we need it! Started looking into replacement windows...not a furnace solution, but if the temperature didn’t drop so quickly it would have more time to cool down between cycles. We need new windows anyway, can feel the cold air coming off of them. 🥶

It was about all I could do to get the structure of my post done; still need to edit...I just scheduled it to post as is and went back to bed for an hour or so.

When I woke up I didn’t really feel any more rested, just hungry and groggy. Had a quick sandwich and then tried to watch some tv on the couch but just ended up falling asleep for another hour give or take.

I did jack in for a little while and played through another level of Shadow Point. I also went back and did the moon puzzle I’d missed in one of the levels, but it had me stumped and I had to cheat and look it up.

I guess I’m extremely thankful that I have a lifestyle that allows me to just sleep away a day at will, but it certainly doesn’t help with my existential angst having accomplished essentially nothing.

I have still been watching videos on how to program VR games. It’s under my craw for the moment... I stalled out on the project I was working on, and to be honest, while I see it as something needed, I don’t see any good way to monetize it; that is, spending time creating it was mostly just philanthropy.

I did learn a lot of programming stuff working on it, and I’m not abandoning it completely, but this game idea has serious potential, I think and I see possibilities for economy basically everywhere I look. We’ll see how it goes...definitely need someone (or several people) who are skilled at Blender or otherwise making 3D assets for Unity games, I don’t have the time or ability to learn all that as well, plus I’m an idea guy, a global thinker, not an artist.

In the evening I was already feeling like going back to bed again, but I had several thousand steps left to go, so I did laps and played some Angry Birds Match while I walked. Kept the streak alive, but I guess the Fitbit isn’t rewarding streak trophies anymore. 😢

Laid down and watched like ten minutes of a movie that Wenche had on before I was gone again.

No crime or crises in my dCity for once, but we’re back to having that huge discrepancy between the income as stated and what I actually received. 😡

Back to being below a hundred for the day. How long before my skin hardens and I stop paying attention to this anymore?

Actually got all my Holybread tasks done today! 🥳 Still, not been able to beat anyone in front of me, but at least I’m getting the arena wins.

Hanging onto that top ten slot! 💪

Got one or two CryptoBrewmaster ingredients today, but as usual, nothing else happening. Weekend coming up, so hopefully I’ll get a couple brews done.

Only took one day’s break this time, back to playing already today! 😮

Played quite a few battles, but didn’t quite make it to the next tier.

Had Dragon splinter for my daily quest, so not too bad. Just a couple of common cards and some more f-ing potions, but better than nothing, I suppose:
