Jan. 17, 22: Routine, School Prep, TV, and Games

I fell asleep a bit earlier last night, closer to eight than nine, but slept through til five, so that’s keeping fairly regular thankfully. Still, only getting about seven hours is also fairly consistent, which I know adds up over time.

I sorta’ started feeling a bit under the weather yesterday and really felt it when I got up today! It’s not too bad, though, just a bit of a sore throat and coughing…got that icky sick taste in my mouth I can’t seem to get rid of, basically a cold.

Been pounding some extra C and D and Zinc and that good stuff and it’s already better than it was. Scared I won’t be 100% for school starting on Wednesday, but I’m sure it will be fine. [Feels great to have the day off today without stuff hanging over my head, can actually try and relax a little].

Not a lot going on during the morning routine. Cryptos still trading sideways but somewhat more downward than I’d prefer, so I’m glad I didn’t increase my risk when I was tempted to, just letting it ride. I did decide to go in and claimed the interest I’d been delaying on and got it deposited back into Aave. Sunflower Farmer ceased operations for a redesign, so the transaction fees are back to normal level. 👍

I did find about about this rant from a professor in Michigan. I guess he lost his job, but the comments on the YouTube video are surprisingly positive…not at all what I would have expected. I think a lot of it was sarcasm/satire and I think he was trying to be clever by burying his thoughts in movie quotes and such, but it didn’t go over quite as well as he expected at least with the administration. I couldn’t help myself, it was pretty rediculous wearing a filtered helmet and calling his students “disease vectors”…dude had to know he was making himself into a meme:

Anyway, dinked around on Discord a bit and got my post done for the day. I reset my posting time yesterday, so it was nice to be able to post at 10:01 today and not have to kill so much time. It’s generally then, once my post is shared and all that, that my mind starts to shut off or want to play games. Today, however, was the ultimate Monday vibe and I sat down at the computer, focused, and did all the tasks I set out on my list.

I got the Calculus class done first and sent out an announcement email to the whole class…from last semester! 🤬😱 Luckily, one of my students from last semester was still in the Discord and pointed it out to me. So, had to go back and do it over again for the correct class.

As I had expected, the Algebra was a lot more work. I went through and reconstructed the calendar and syllabus from scratch, but now I have it as a LaTex file and can actually do stuff rather than fighting with the fact that I don’t want to pay for Microsoft Office and so only have a crippled version (cant even copy! 🤬). The other professors only seem to give the section numbers in their calendars, but I think having the topic as well is much more informative, so that took going through the whole index of the book and typing out the headings. Still, that’s work done for the future if I ever teach the class later.

That was pretty much it. I really did focus and work all day! No Oculus, no major distractions, and I got it all done. From there just been fielding questions occasionally and assigning roles in Discord as people join.

I tried to lay down and get a nap cause I wasn’t feeling great (although feeling much better about myself), put on what Netflix said was a “comedy” Z Nation and it ended up being exciting and interesting enough to keep me awake. It’s like Walking Dead, so even though it does seem to have quite a few comedic actors, it’s not a comedy at all.

I grabbed some cereal for dinner since I wasn’t really all that hungry and when Wenche got home we tried out Cowboy BeBop again but remembered how violent it was and so switched it off. Hunted around for something and landed on Champions, which seems to be alright.

Having been sitting at the computer all day and then laying down I had quite a few steps left for the day and even though I just wanted to lay down, I did my marching in place to keep the streak going. For now, just been letting my streak numbers disagree, but it’s annoying.

Well, not quite so shitty today in dShitty as it has been. No crime or crises or anything, but they made if for it with no WEED payout (or BeeSwap payout from what I could tell either 😡).

My Ego was up to about 3% on Rising Star, so I did a couple lessons to get that back to zero and then back to missions again. To this point I’m still yet to do anything other than recycling my income back into the game. BUT, that is my choice, so I’m not complaining about it.

My Splinterlands quest reset in the morning since I got behind the last couple days and I got Fire splinter, but I decided to wait until the evening when I usually play and reset it myself then.

Got three wins without neutral monsters for my quest today and that should have been relatively easy, but it requires actual winning and there wasn’t a whole heck of a lot of that. 😢

Not too bad rewards, though, with that Epic:

The Chaos Legion general sale started today and there were some transaction backups, but went fairly smoothly otherwise and they sold several million packs already! SPS is still pretty low in USD terms, making packs expensive, so I just staked my drop again for today and will wait until things settle down and reassess.

Got my stats for the last week again today. I’m pleasantly surprised to see all but one green arrow. Unfortunately, the red is in the sleep category; could have told you that. 😢
