Feb. 5, 22: Routine, Chilling, TV, and Games

[Wow! Trying to reflect back on yesterday it’s whoosh and gone. 😱 I’m fairly confident I made it through without collapsing, but I can’t find even a single thing that I accomplished…so where the day went, not quite sure.]

Fell asleep fairly early last night and slept through until just before six, so close enough to call it good. Woke up when Wenche came to bed and I got up and brushed my teeth, but otherwise was a pretty solid night.

Can’t really recall anything notable about the morning routine other than we saw some nice bounce in the crypto markets. Not sure how confident to be in this recovery, but it’s good to see BTC back above $40k and HIVE back above a dollar!

Spent quite a bit of time on the Sysyphean
task of shifting and staking H-E tokens, but even so didn’t even get one wallet cleaned up, let alone both. Chatted for a bit on Discord and then got to work on my post for the day.

I totally missed my posting time yesterday, so I decided to post early and reset rather than waiting until twenty past ten to post. It’s at that point that the day starts to blur.

I guess I plopped in front of the tube with the wife watching her When Calls the Heart stuff…was playing Angry Birds Match anyway and not really paying attention. We switched over to Workaholics after a while and finished out the last episode of the last season. 😢 We plowed through that pretty darn quick and now we’re on the hunt for something else to watch again, but it was worth some solid laughs for a couple days.

We did take a break and hopped in the shower for a bit. 😉 But otherwise that was it. Wenche made us steaks and potatoes for dinner again (the steaks were left in the fridge from yesterday) and we watched some of the original, English version of The Office. I’ve seen it before, but it’s good enough for a second go through.

I did get a little bent out of shape because Witty called me out on not regularly contributing to the Splinterlands guild. I already felt bad about hoarding DEC, but I’ve been trying to maintain my SPS drop (which falls every day as system points get distributed) so as to maintain my voucher drop to sell for tokens (like his) to build Solairitas. I figured since contributing was voluntary and I had a particular reason not to, that it would be alright for the time being. Turns out, I guess it’s ultimately not really all that voluntary…need to pay to prove commitment. This was not the first time that the guild was a point of contention and I’ve considered leaving before, but tried to be as rational as I could despite my hair standing on end. Still, not trying to be butthurt about it at all, and I gave the guild 2500 DEC. Will set me back some on the drop (or will have to be replenished at the expense of other tokens), but it’s not that big of a deal, like eight dollars or so. I always had the intention of donating once the drop is done, but whatever, just have to try not to resent the feeling of obligation every time I contribute in the future.

I played quite a bit of Splinterlands in the evening as well, for whatever that’s worth, but didn’t even do any chores or anything that I can point to as having completed all day. 😯

Stopped in for Movie Night on Pizza Discord, but only stayed for a bit. (Pretty cool thing to be able to watch movies together on Discord - guess since there’s no fee there’s no copyright infringement? 🤷 but no crime without an accuser). They were watching Cruella, which is good, but I just watched it recently, so meh.

Hadn’t moved around all that much, so I had several thousand steps left for the day, but surprisingly not as much as I have been stuck with at bedtime most days recently. It was few enough that I got them done properly marching and moving around getting ready for bedtime. Kept the streak going, but only just barely.

No crime or crises in my dShitty today and even though my stated income is still only two, somehow I got tenfold more than that! (I suppose that’s the government style way of making twenty sound bigger than it actually is 😜).

Really nothing going on with Rising Star. My Ego is still doing well, so just cranking out missions. Same ol’.

Well, one battle short of filling my entire history and yet I got absolutely nowhere. 😡 It’s just been back and forth win one lose one, win two, lose three, and on and on. I guess it just takes patience, a good win streak can make all the difference.

I got Dragon splinter for my quest today which made things slightly easier I suppose and I got it done still in Gold II. Solid rewards today, though. Got a nice chunk of DEC and a couple reasonable cards:

Another day with no moves as far as either SPS or vouchers. Just staked my drop for today and am waiting for the price of vouchers to hopefully recover a little.
