May 1, 21: AutomaticWin, Oculus, Tiny Web Work, TV, and Games

almost 3 years ago

Once again I slept all the way until six, which is fantastic, but I was still an hour short. 😭 I dragged a bit during the day, felt like taking a quick nap in the afternoon, but I powered through and fell asleep early instead (missing the #DoubleDay by 255 steps 😱🤬).

Checked the crypto markets and both HIVE and BTC were on a bit of a pullback...down, but not hard, more or less within a range. ETH, on the other hand, got on a horse! Broke up into new all time highs and kept on a goin’! Seems like $2950 is the new top for the moment, really itching to take some profits, but my target is still $10k. When it hits $10k, I’ll sell and have enough funds to purchase the land for Solairitas.

Not much going on otherwise. Barely even chatted on Discord, hardly anybody around. I did go to a couple shows on MSP Waves for a bit, but only kind of popped in and out.

We headed out for a solid walk with the doggy down to the lake and I scored an easy #AutomaticWin! 💪 My exchange should be due up, but I didn’t post it officially...got to try for one again tomorrow. 😉

Definitely a cold start to the morning! Stepped outside to check and could see my breath. 😢

Wasn’t too bad in the sunshine, though, and the wind was such that I could forego having gloves on.

The Moon was out bigtime! 🌚

Pretty calm down at the lake. Only saw one fisherman and one goose. I did catch sight of two redwing blackbirds doing the nasty!

We let the dog run around off the leash for a bit on the trail behind the soccer fields...great to see kids out playing, but they all had friggin’ masks on! 🤬

Got back and noticed that we’re getting some lovely bloomage in our own yard. 😁

In the afternoon we chillaxed and watched some Ascension on the tube. I went down later on and rented Soul from the Redbox, but ended up falling asleep before it ended. 😢

I kinda’ got bored with the show and decided to jack in to the Oculus for a while. I broke down and got another song pack yesterday, so still going through and playing each of the difficulties for each song...there’s a couple in there that I dig. 👍😃

Yesterday I constructed the templates for profile and market on the website. Really wasn’t very much work but was the next step...felt good that it wasn’t much work, that’s the advantage of having solved the problem once; it becomes a lot easier the second time around.

Today I went in and did a slight edit on the dB. I created a new Partners table instead of including them as columns in the Meta table...should make both tables more efficient. 🤓

Other than that, Wenche made steaks for dinner and I watched about half of a movie, like I said...still, that’s two days that I got something done on the website (however small), but by bit it will begin to shape up.

Well, at least it was a relatively calm day in dShitty today. Gerb has hit me up a couple times recently, which I really appreciate, but still questioning my motivation to deal with this.

We’re back up over a hundred SIM for the day, so that’s something! Still not seeing the dial move on Solairitas’ income, though.

Got all my Holybread tasks done for today, but it’s bittersweet. They made the changes to potions and, as I had suspected and feared, they purposefully made it pay to play. 😭🤬

It’s no longer possible to maintain potions without paying them...I will play until my bread runs out and then that’s it, I suppose, my time is enough; not paying more.

I suppose it would be possible to play still, but I won’t be able to maintain rank, so we’ll have to see if the upvote continues to be worthwhile or whether I’m done for good...looks like they might be losing 20% of their player base. 😛

Was actually able to hold out at first position overnight and into the next day! 💪

Still just gathering ingredients on CryptoBrewmaster. Only need water now, so hopefully will be able to start a brew tomorrow. 🍺

I played Splinterlands today, and rage quit several times.

I did make a little progress in the ranks, but didn’t get into the next tier and I lost like every fu$&ing time I tried to play with Fire to get my daily quest done...no go, so no rewards to show for my time. 😡
