Feb. 8, 21: Recording a Calculus Video, BTC & ETH ATH!, Napping, TV, and Games

Man, my sleep cycle is completely messed up again. 🤬 Up at friggin’ three today and another hour short.

Got on the morning routine early, emptied out the dishwasher, did some curation, and then was shocked when I checked the crypto markets!

The hype was everywhere that Elon and Tesla are going hard into BTC. I think Eliotrades said it right when he said: the race is on now for institutions, not to be first, but not to be last. 🤑

It wasn’t just a lonely pop, either! We continued to new highs on rising volumes...

Eth caught a bid as well and printed another new all time high...got to love the bull cycles! Not only that, it seems some of that bullishness is spilling over to our own little chain!!!! 🥳🤩

Not going to mortgage the house to buy HIVE at this point, but it’s nice to see some upward movement (even moreso over in the fiat market). 😁

I recorded and uploaded another lecture video for my Calculus 2 class. Today I went over Trigonometric Integrals, dealing with integrating powers and products of powers of trig functions.

I took one example and did it two different ways. Both ways work and you arrive at what appear to be two completely different answers. They can’t be different, though, they’re the same integral; they’re just Algebraic manipulations of eachother.

I didn’t take the time in the video to show the answers were the same since it’s really a bunch of Algebra, but here’s the proof:

Unfortunately, YouTube won’t let me post the image as a comment. 😡

Once I got the video uploaded I was basically toast. I figured it pointless to try and fight it, so I laid down in the bed and put on some Big Mouth. Didn’t take long and I was gone for a few hours. Not only did that kill most of the rest of the day, I felt like absolute shite when I got up. 😭

Quick snagged some leftover pizza for dinner and then laid down again. I didn’t fall asleep again, but just basically laid there like a lump watching the tube.

Got up and had a bowl of cereal for second dinner? And then pretty much just brushed my teeth and got ready for bed.

By the time I was considering laying down again, I still had a little over a thousand steps left for the day. 😢 Did some marching in place in front of the TV to get it done and keep the streak alive, then watched a couple episodes of Community and fell asleep early again (but at least not baby time).

Yet another crisis in my dCity, but at least I didn’t get robbed! Back up over two hundred SIM for the day, so that helps. Got another Job Center as well.

Wow! For once my income actually matches what I received!

Got all my Holybread tasks done for today. 🤩 Had quite a stretch there where I kept getting put up against foes I couldn’t beat, but pulled the arena task out in the end. Just about got enough gold saved to take care of potion refills and plenty of time left. One of my Mages leveled up as well.

Unfortunately, still not able to beat anyone in front of me, so holding just outside the top ten.

As is the usual now during the week, just picked up a couple more CryptoBrewmaster ingredients. Got a pretty good stockpile now considering that I can only get two brews done per week...should be set for months.

Less than a week left in the Splinterlands season now, friggin’ a! I actually stared at the battle screen and told myself to play, but opted not to anyway.

---

Got my stats for the last week. Really not too surprised by all the red flags, but certainly not happy with them. 😢 I’m going to blame it on the cold and being tired, but we all know that’s just excuses.
