Oct. 18, 22: Routine, PIMP Meeting, Walking, Teaching, TV, and Gam...

[Urgh, getting a bit of a late start on my post here for today. 😱 This morning was the start of the new Dungeon Master season, so been messing around with that pretty much since I got up…nearly doubled my mining power today already and got about $.37 worth of contribution just in the first couple hours. 💪 Anyway, got to get on with it…]

Was up again, as seems to be the new normal, about three or so and moved out to the couch. Slept from about nine to seven, though, and even with being broken I got a solid eight and a half hours.

This was the third day now of no coffee in the morning (as opposed to the ten cups I usually brew first thing). My tummy is sorta’ better, but still bothering me. Funny thing was that I was actually hungry in the morning and had some cereal for breakfast like a normal human (between coffee and cigarettes I generally don’t get hungry until lunchtime - probably a sign right there that I’m not treating my body as well as I should…but I liiiike my coffee.)

Still, it’s better, at least I’m spending a more normal amount of time in the bathroom than I was last week, but I still don’t feel like I can just eat whatever…the idea of turkey taco just makes it churn a little. Been talking about trying to cut out dairy altogether (I already have to do lactose free milk and cheese) but getting it out entirely is really tough. I did it a few years back, but it more or less means everything plant based (and I’m not a huge fan of almond milk - although I have gotten used to soy milk in the past).

Anyway, not much else going on during the morning routine. Did all the usual stuff, shifted tokens, did some curation, checked the crypto markets…there was an announcement in the Wombat Discord that the new season passed had dropped for Dungeon Master, so I went in and checked. Was super pleased to find that my access to the VIP drop saved me quite a bit! I paid $30 for the season pass last season and it was only $20 for the VIP drop! 🥳😁

I swapped out some of the liquid HIVE I’d been saving up for just this occasion and swapped it to WAX, moved it over, and got my pass ready for tomorrow. 👍 If the Cashmere Wombatium is a Well of Wealth reward [it was 😁], then it should basically pay for itself (and then some with the mining ⛏ power boost).

Got to work early on my post but then realized I had the weekly PIMP meeting to go to and was only able to get the structure done and a bit of text before it started. Good meeting this week, even though again I had to divide my attention and try to get my post done. One of the bigger takeaways for me was talking about CryptoShots.

I’d sorta’ half-assed tried to get into it before, but it didn’t seem to work and I got logged in but couldn’t find anything beyond that. Our discussion today renewed my interest and I went back in and finally found out where my starter pack was. Got it unboxed and got my basic starter cards, but since I’m on mobile I didn’t try and actually play it. I’m kind of interesting now, though, especially since I already have the starter pack (from Pizza giveaways), so I didn’t even have to pay for it! 🤑 Might be another reason to sit at the computer, we’ll see.

Got my post done and published and the meeting finished up so I took the dog out for a walk in the cold and rain. 🌧

Wasn’t really raining hard, but with the wind it was plenty uncomfortable enough for me. The dog didn’t seem to mind it too much, but for some reason he just kept pulling on me and wanting to sniff and pee everything. I’ll admit I got a little frustrated with him (and I feel bad about that), but he did quit pulling by the end.

Got back, grabbed a sandwich for lunch and then practiced a bunch of problems for Calculus tonight trying to plan which ones to cover in the time that we have (not getting buried in difficult integrals) but to show them the concept and how to set the problems up.

Otherwise, just kind of dinked around and played games on the phone and killed time until I got in the shower and started getting everything ready for class.

It was a new idea today: itterated integrals and there was a lot to cover. I showed them the conceptual background idea, but we didn’t spend too much time with it other than to show them the idea; instead I just started into doing the examples. The hardest part is figuring out what the region is (and that it’s not the function you’re integrating) and we did it both ways: setting up the integral from the region and setting up the region given the integral.

Got done just about on time, maybe a minute or two over, and then was jazzed up as usual after teaching. Made myself a quick chicken wrap with the leftover chicken in the fridge and then started getting ready for bed.

I had a bit of an unpleasant surprise, though. When I was brushing my teeth I started getting a little bleeding on the back left side…looked at it and it doesn’t look good. 😭 It’s a crown, so I’m not sure what’s going on…don’t really feel anything (since the nerve is dead) but it can’t be good. Guess I’m going to have to see the dentist soon (I always put it off until it’s too late 😡).

Otherwise, played some Wombat games after the daily reset and put on some Golden Girls until falling asleep.

Well, was the income less than the less than it should be on dShitty? Of course. But at least it paid out something today.

I had drunks on top of drunks on Rising Star yesterday, but they’ve finally expired and my Ego was at one percent, so I’m doing a lesson for now to get it back to zero.

Still haven’t bothered with HashKings. Now that I’m getting an interest in checking out CryptoShots that might be an excuse to get it done.

Still no desire to play Splinterlands. Kinda’ sorta’ thinking about it…ish, but we’ll see. One way or another I need to do something with it, it’s a waste just to let it sit like that.

Claimed my SPS interest for the day and staked it up. A little disappointed to see how much SPS has fallen in value, but I’m not really looking to sell it all out, so skimming off the top at whatever price isn’t bad.

Got my stats for last week today. While I’m still not fully recovered from being sick, this week was definitely better. Can’t believe that sleep average! 🥳 Now that I’m not feeling so tired, I just have to start feeling motivated.
