Dec. 24, 21: Routine, Oculus, Laundry, Quick Nap, A Movie, TV, and...

Got up at five this morning and was about an hour short according to my FitBit, but I’m going to call it close enough. I did drag hard in the afternoon, though, and ended up crashing out for about a half an hour or so watching the new Jim Gaffigan comedy special (was alright, I guess…not funny enough to keep my attention, though). I didn’t sleep that long or hard, though, so I guess I wasn’t that far behind.

Not a whole heck of a lot to note regarding the morning routine. Just did all the usual stuff and got my post done for the day. Cryptos trading a bit sideways after the pop yesterday, even showing a little red, but not by much.

MATIC is still looking strong and I’m hearing bullish news about developments happening with that chain…keeping my fingers crossed that having faith in this one will pay off well in time. I’m still behind versus ETH, to be honest, so not building as I would like to have been, but at least a little less in the hole 🕳, which is better than the alternative (for a while there I was even losing on my Aave investment on top of FIRE, but it has come back).

I suppose, for many, today was Christmas. I spent it mostly in the basement by myself. I do have some plans for tomorrow to go over to Mom’s for some shrimps 🦐, but today was otherwise just a blur of ineffectualness as has been the last week. (Need some Aderol or something)

Despite my “resolution” to sit down and work on the website today, surprise surprise, it didn’t actually happen. 😢 The only thing I can really point to as having accomplished is that I did sanitize wash my socks 🧦 and did the bedding as well.

After I’d done my morning stuff, I did put away the laundry on the table (to clear off the computer buried underneath) but then jacked in to VR instead of working. Been really struggling with that big predator (and I never did kill it), but I was able to kill the similar boss creature for the area and am preparing to go to the next area now…pretty sure it ain’t going to be any easier! 😱

My idea of making a poison lure didn’t work, can’t combine them, but I did make poison arrows, which I think helped at least a little with the boss fight (although I mostly managed to glitch it out on the edge of a rock and bashed it with my club, then shot it with my arrows).

Managing tiredness, hunger, heat, and inventory gets to be a lot, and it seems to be nighttime all the damn time! I spend the minute or so of daylight trying to get items or hunt an animal and that’s it, whoosh dark again! 🤣 It is a good game, though. Certainly gotten quite a lot of play time out of it.

Still been keeping at my foot, and thankfully, it is improving. I’m not out of the woods yet, got blisters and stuff remaining in a couple places, but it’s visibly less than before and isn’t hurting nearly as much. I’m thinking it might be a good idea to get a new pair of slippers. Been hitting them with spray too, but they’re kinda’ worn out and are probably due to be replaced anyway. I’ll check what they have at the store when I go grocery shopping.

I grabbed some Dinty Moore Stew for an early dinner and then watched a scary movie: Polaroid, about a haunted camera that kills whoever’s picture is taken. Was about what you’d expect from a movie like that, but kept my attention at least.

Got ready for bed and moved around a bit to finish out the embarrassing number of steps I had left for the day and then watched a couple episodes of the Detectorists. On the last episode of the third season already. 🥲 Sad that it went so fast, was an enjoyable show.

Well, got a pandemic in dShitty today because art reflects life, or something like that. Still only getting approximately 10% of what I should be…can’t say that doesn't annoy me every day. Even so, solairitas gets that drip every day… 🎶 and you keep me hangin’ on 🎵

I’m still agast at how much fuckwittery has gone on with CryptoFuckmaster. I actively wish for them to crash and burn, to fail miserably, to be a beacon to others of what not to do.

Did a couple more missions on Rising Star today. Kinda’ getting to be a bit of a broken record (pun intended) on this one. Still haven’t gotten to the next level, and honestly expect to be very underwhelmed when I unlock the next mission.

Although I did go in today and stake my SPS drop on Splinterlands (they continue to fall, so not buying packs with them), I still could not even force myself to play.

I was, however, able to add a couple more brawl losses to the losing streak, because why not and because FML.

While I should be in or approaching Gold III at this point in the season, I’m hopelessly buried in Silver without any belief that the time spent trying to dig myself out will be fruitful…neither do I have any desire to have to dig myself out of Bronze after the reset…more pain than it’s worth; need to look into renting out my cards again.
