May 25, 21: Bit o’ School Work, Errands, A Movie, Laps, and Games

almost 3 years ago

Still can’t seem to snag a solid night’s sleep. 😡 I did make it all the way till six, which is generally unheard of, but I got to sleep late last night and so was yet another two hours short. It’s been several days in a row now that I’ve made it through without a nap, so that’s progress.

Nice to see some green candles returning to the crypto markets! Otherwise the morning routine was pretty routine. I’m almost back to break even with my BCH and LTC, but the GLASS and SAFEMOON are still down hard, around fifty percent. 😢

Got some DVASH pulled out of tipCC and into Trust. Had to pay half my balance in transaction fee, but it was more an experiment to see what would happen with a new token. As I had thought (and hoped), it wasn’t necessary to go in and manually add the token (as I have been doing because I was afraid), it just appeared in my wallet. 😄

Still getting people coming in to the class and then into our Discord server. Not too many questions yet, but a few have started...at least the ice is broken. 😄 I gave them some more overview sort of info and fielded requests from other students for an override to get into my class.

I’m like eight or nine over capacity at this point! I know that means the college makes more money off of me (while I get nothing more except work), but since we’re online, it’s really not that much skin off my back, so I feel guilty not letting students in if they ask.

Mostly overcast 🌫 and rainy 🌧 all day today, so not very motivated to get out for a walk, but despite being sedentary for more time than I’d like to admit, I did get all my hours (250 steps) and got my ten thousand goal. 💪

Needed to run into town to the smoke store and the puffity-puff store, so I took the dog for a ride and took care of that.

Got back, grabbed some lunch, and I really considered sitting down at the computer and getting some web work done, but I did my whole anxiety thing and decided to watch a movie instead.

Watched Army of the Dead, a new one on Netflix. Was quite good as far as zombie movies go! 😁 Plenty of gore and badassery, definitely kept me awake.

Not really sure where the rest of the afternoon went...just mucking about on Discord and taking care of emails, I guess.

Had some soup for dinner and watched some YouTube tutorials looking toward the next big obstacle: interacting with the HIVE chain...not sure about doing everything through Node on Hostgator, looking at maybe using AJAX or some other built-in function...trying to learn a way to get that going that will be smooth. Hivesigner and Keychain are a whole other ball of wax!

By the time I started looking towards bed, I still had a few thousand steps to go, so I busted some quick laps and got the “streak” started. Wenche was out with the ladies for Girl’s Night, so I got to bed earlier than I have been lately. 😀

Well, I suppose it does confirm now that the disagreement between my streak count and FitBit’s is their definition of a streak. Seems they don’t count the first four days (since I’m off by four again). 😡 I hate having those numbers disagree, but I totally did get ten thousand steps for those days! 🤔

To be honest, I have been hit up a couple times lately by dCity rewarding, so I’m not going to be an ungrateful prick today. Ultimately, it’s HIVE that I want, so getting it directly really helps.

Not really growing much, but going to remain thankful today.

On the other hand, I am going to be a prick about Holybread. I got my tasks done, but that pales in comparison to my growing distaste. Once again, it’s the upvote that makes spending my finite existence on this worthwhile...not only have they made it pay to play, but they haven’t upvoted in five days!!! 🤬 Thinking my time with this game is growing short.

Still can’t advance, but without a vote it makes no difference anyway.

Went in and got one ingredient on CryptoBrewmaster today, but otherwise it didn’t cross my mind again. It’s more or less gotten relegated to that “Oh, I’ll click once a day, why not?” zone.

I briefly considered playing Splinterlands while I was doing laps in the evening, but ended up watching YouTube videos instead.
