Apr. 7, 21: AutomaticWin, Posting, Tutorials, Sleeping, and Games

about 3 years ago

Today is one of those days where I reflect back and think of people who are successful (i.e. productive) and am ashamed to deserve the mediocrity I get.

Woke up at four thirty with another hour short. I felt a little slow in the morning, but not too bad.

Got on with the morning routine. Bitcoin still super boring, but the volumes are creeping up somewhat. HIVE was dumping, but it seems to have found support and bounced off 900 Sats as I had hoped...we’ll see if it’s a dead cat bounce or if it holds.

Felt motivated enough to head out for a #AutomaticWin and guilty enough to take the doggy with me. He did really well! I took him back on the nature trail and let him run off the leash and he stayed close and didn’t really run ahead going back home. He did a bit, but I just ran along with him and he slowed down after a little ways.

We did a solid loop, but I still had some steps left, so I dropped him off quick and did another block to finish out the ten thousand steps. 💪😁

Relatively warm this morning; in fact, quite nice out! 😁

Beat the Sun up again. Sort of overcast to start, but the clouds ⛅️ mostly burned away once the Sun was out.

Yay! The flowers are coming back. 🌸 The world is beginning to green again!

Went down past the pond and saw the pair of ducks 🦆 there again. I stayed back this time ‘cause I know they’re super sensitive about their personal space. Hard to see, but they’re there by that lump in the middle.

The froggies were out and being cacophonous; hadn’t heard them at all the last couple times we went past (been too cold). I even saw a couple of (unverified) turtle 🐢 heads popping out here and there...could have been frogs, though, like I said I didn’t get close.

Saw quite a few slugs out looking for love ❤️ as well:

Got back, worked on my post for the day, and watched some YouTube videos, particularly some WordPress tutorials trying to see if I can find an easy way to leverage the built-in functions, but still frustrated with myself that I can’t seem to settle on a decision or get any actual work done on it.

At that point I started to drag hard. I thought I’d just lay down for a quick nap and hopefully I’d catch a second wind and be able to do some work on the site. Woke up and more than four hours had passed! 😱 The whole rest of the day just burned sleeping. 😡🤬

Had a bowl of cereal for dinner and paced a few laps just for shits and giggles. Watched some of what Wenche had on the TV for a few and then went right back to bed. 💤

At least no additional robbery in my dShitty today other than the taxes and the unemployment penalty and the economic crisis...you’d think with the amount of top-down control that’s been applied to the supply that the token would be worth a million bucks by now! Guess it’s time to make something else up.

Well, I’d gotten my Holybread arena wins done and all I needed was one quest to finish the tasks for the day, but I slept right through the reset. 😢

Got knocked back to fifth and couldn’t regain my position. Even so, it is more fun to be fighting back and forth up here at the top.

After several days of server maintenance, I finally got back into CryptoBrewmaster. Still just gathering ingredients, and no, they did not fix the fact that you can’t see the daily quests. 😡 At least I found that lucky double-tap trick.

Still no change in balance and I really don’t care enough to worry about my ranking.

After I woke up and did some laps, I did spend a little time playing Splinterlands.

Didn’t play all that much, but enough to break up into the next tier:

I think this was the first time I got the Snipe quest for my daily quest. Got to the next tier before I completed it as well, so that gave me another chest. I could have done without the potions, but not too bad today:
