Apr. 17, 22: Routine, Grocery Shopping, Nap, Walking, TV, and Games
[Got teaching all day today and, as I write this post, my stress level continues to rise. I have a solid plan for what we’re going to cover in Calculus today, but I still have zero clue what to do in Algebra. 😱 Need to start getting ready here in a few minutes and the blood pressure is rising.]
Got to bed around eight last night, but woke up at four this morning of my own accord. That made for about an hour or so short again, and I did drag somewhat, particularly after lunch, as usual.
Not terribly much to note regarding the morning routine, just did all the normal stuff I do every day. Checked on the crypto markets, which are looking a bit bearish, looked at how much more money I’m somehow losing on Polygon, dinked around with my WAX wallets (of which the one is not functional again and the other is barely - like one transaction and that’s it 🤬), chatted on Discord, hit the faucets, and worked on my post for the day.
I got done with my post fairly early, so we decided to head straight into town to get the grocery shopping done. We did get mostly food this time (and there were quite a few bare shelves 😱), but ended up busting $150 again; can’t seem to escape it.
Got home and got stuff put away and I was shaking I was so hungry, so I quick grabbed a sandwich for lunch. Started to feel a little better and laid down to try and finish my Splinterlands quest from yesterday. Didn’t take to long before my eyes started to roll and I crashed out for about an hour or so.
Felt pretty groggy when I got up, but figured it would be good to get out for some fresh air and exercise, so got suited up to go for a walk. Was a bit cold, especially with the wind, but not too bad…definitely a nice day out otherwise, and we saw quite a bit of wildlife! 😁
We did nearly six kilometers, but I accidentally paused FitBit when I was taking a picture. 😢
Chilly and a bit windy, but otherwise a wonderful spring day.
This guy was happily chirping away and didn’t seem bothered by us at all. Need to look up what kind it is.
Starting to see some flowers popping up:
We saw lots of turtles 🐢 sunning themselves:
The muck is starting to get thick, but for now you can still see the bottom. I did see one little minnow.
We even saw a muskrat, though it’s not so clear to see in the picture:
Not just a flower, but I got a bee too! 👍😁
We had planned to make pizza for dinner, but neither of us were feeling all that hungry, so we both heated up some celery soup that mom had given us to try. Not too bad and made for a good, light meal.
Pretty much just plopped in front of the tube and binged Queen of the South for the rest of the evening. I did jump in for some music in Pizza server, but Beard muted me for copying a phrasedrop, which booted me out of voice and kind of pissed me off, to be honest, but after pouting for a while I went back in (and got a few airdrops, so it was worth it). 🍕
Hmmm 🤔 No crime or crisis in dShitty today and yet it had absolutely zero effect…still -35 stated and six actual income, identical to yesterday. It’s not even “math” that makes this game shit, it just is that way, no excuses.
I actually remembered to go in on Rising Star several times today. Just been busting out missions for as long as I can until my Ego starts to climb, but got some more drunks again messing with me.
Well, it’s harvest day on HashKings. Means I planted on a Tuesday (when I had the day off), but now I’d have to sit at the computer to take care of it and I’ll be gone all day, so probably not going to do anything about it until tomorrow.
In other news, they’re adding yet another game to their “ecosystem”…talk about being too big for your britches! You had one job…no, I mean twelve. 😛
The complete and utter stupid bullshit continued for the second day on Splinterlands. Can’t even move from the middle of Gold III, can’t barely even get a single win against these OP decks…I think they’re just farming the lower levels and fucking the rest of us actual players who have spent time and money and effort to get where we’re at. Simple, just have a guildmate delegate you a bunch of maxed out gold foils and boom, easy money.
Got the Fire quest done finally, stuck in Gold III. I didn’t think it was possible for a legendary to be essentially useless and worthless, but they managed to come up with one:
Tried to get caught up with my Water splinter quest, but it was just more of the same and I not only rage quit, the idea of playing is repulsing me. 🤬
Was happy to see that my SPS drop still remained stable for the third day in a row! Just staked them, as usual, and didn’t make any moves with vouchers today, just waiting. I have a bit of liquid sitting in case I get the urge to buy something, so not feeling the pressure to sell at the moment.
