Dec. 26, 21: Routine, DeFi, Grocery Shopping, Oculus, TV, and Game...

I guess I’m right exactly on the borderline as far as sleep goes, since having crashed out for two hours yesterday afternoon, I got to bed late and immediately lost them again. Up around five again, so that’s quite consistent, and got on with the morning routine.

Cryptos still looking good and BTC was holding around $50k. Meanwhile alts seem to be catching a bid and HIVE has seen a nice rise!!! MATIC is off to the races as well, and though I have to temper my joy against what I lost on FIRE, I have essentially doubled my collateral value and was feeling like I could handle a little more risk.

Decided to pull the trigger and borrowed (and then turned around and deposited) another $500. I do have to keep a closer eye on it since I’m a bit more sensitive to price fluctuations, but I’m earning interest on it on both the borrow and the deposit sides…basically on another $1k, not too shabby! 🤑

I’m still very much considering going harder in…been very hesitant to bridge with the whole “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” sort of consideration, but they’re in one basket sitting on the exchange anyway and they’re not earning any interest, just sitting. 😢 I guess my main hang up is bridging back out, still waiting for more exchanges and off-ramps. Getting over to H-E would be extremely excellent, but I don’t think I can at all on the phone since you need Keychain and Metamask at the same time and I can only get through one or the other. 😡 Pretty sure it’s possible to do on desktop, but got to set up my Metamask wallet on there and that…just haven’t done it.

Otherwise, not a whole lot going on in particular to note. Did some staking and trading on H-E, hit the faucets, and then did my post; nothing major. I’m still having to wait and time my posts to the minute or else get skipped by brofund, so I spend quite a lot of time not getting on with what I want to and staring at the clock with my post done an hour ago.

I suppose I could schedule them, but that’s sometimes iffy and despite PeakD agreeing with my idea to include scheduled posts in “recently published drafts,” as of yet they still don’t, so my drafts get older and older and require more work to update and eventually get deleted entirely. Long story long, I just keep dealing with it even though it should have been a simple fix months ago.

As soon as I got my post published and poshed and all that, I headed into town to do the grocery shopping. Once again I surprised myself with more than a hundred bucks worth of stuff, but admittedly, I did get a big bag of cat food as well as more stuff for my foot.

Speaking of which, while that continues to improve, it’s still present enough in the worst spots to be painful. 😖 Hard not to be mindful of it. I spent quite a bit of time at the store looking for a new pair of slippers to replace the ones I threw out yesterday, but came up a bust. There was one pair that I could have gotten, but they were relatively expensive (brand name) and not really what I was looking for (they didn’t have much of a back, more like flip-flops), so I had to admit defeat. I considered going to the mall to have a look, but just called it a loss instead.

Got everything put away and had some lunch and then “rewarded” myself with some Oculus (should have got on with something else, really). Been a while since I did, but I played the whole battery out! 😱 I quit because it shut itself down on me. I made a little progress on Song in the Smoke, but after a lengthy battle with the area boss I succumbed and lost a significant portion of that progress.

Got a bit aggravated with that and switched over to Puzzling Places. I’m still working on the four hundred piece version of the Christmas puzzle…taken some serious time. The time I spent sorting did lay off nicely, though, and I got the vast majority of the main building assembled (all the like-colored roof pieces fell together bing, bang, boom). I still have the courtyard area to finish, but like I said, the Oculus died on me.

Made myself a bit of soup for dinner and whiled away the rest of the evening watching Zach Stone is Gonna’ be Famous that I pretty much binged in its entirety already! 🤣 It’s Bo Burham’s show and has that sort of quirky, sharp wit that I like about him…plus lots of major awkwardness (which the wife would hate 😂). Fell asleep pretty early watching that.

Holy moly! For once just a normal day in dShitty. 😱 I even got more than the stated amount…seems like the shittiness is likely to be backing up in the pipe and waiting to burst.

I’m still super salty about CryptoFuckmaster. I’m not the only one, for sure!

Did the obligatory couple of missions on Rising Star and got as close to unlocking the next mission as you can possibly be without actually unlocking it. 😡 One more, though, should do it. Then do it all over again, I suppose. I can, at least say they not only have a way to withdraw, but they even made it easier to withdraw larger amounts. So, kinda’ the opposite of the above.

I went in to Splinterlands today, not to play, but rather to draw off a few of my vouchers. Although they’re still down quite hard relatively speaking, I did get some HIVE for myself, which does take a bit of the sting off how the game has been lately.

Didn’t actually decide what to do with those liquid funds, but I definitely like being in a position to make a choice. 😁 Not sure what happened with the SPS drop, I completely forgot about it, so will just wait until the next one and stake it then.
