[Not sure if it’s going to work or not yet (staking on LOLZ doesn’t seem to be available), but I’m switching up and using #fun for the first time today! 😁 I certainly had fun on my walk…not so sure about the games, though. 😜😂]

Had my first rough night in a while tonight. I woke up at like four and I tried to just go back to sleep, I really wanted to, but my brain was just going in circles trying to figure out why res.cookies came back undefined. 🤷😢

I realized I wasn’t going to be able to let it go, so I just got up. Nine thirty to four just doesn’t cut the mustard and I was more than two hours short. Dragged hard all morning (even though I did go out) and ended up crashing out for about an hour and a half.

Not a whole lot going on during the usual morning routine. Still extremely frustrated that I haven’t received any of the materials I need for Fall, but spent quite a bit of time in the morning studying and watching YouTube videos…turns out I wasted several days on chapter twelve, but it is what it is. I’ve written one more request for the syllabus having received a useless PDF of the calendar; after that I’m getting the administrators involved (they’re simply refusing to do their job). 😡

The stress level was relatively high again, and I was tired and so didn’t have the energy to fight it. Even so, I got to work on my post for the day. Got it done early enough that we could head out for a walk before posting time! It took some doing (and I did some shaking in all honesty), but I scored the #AutomaticWin! 💪

Took the doggy around the nature trail for a solid five kilometers. Was definitely cooler and pretty overcast, but we didn’t get rained on.

Not so many bugs out today, but I did get a few new ones.

Not sure about this guy. He looks a lot like the tons of little black beetles that I see all the time, but different color? 🤷 Don’t know if it’s a different species or just an aberration.

This was a relatively large lightningbug:

A bunch of Japanese Beetles chillin’…they’re everywhere, actually an invasive species that aren’t supposed to be here…nothing eats them.

Even busy buzzers need a break:

The pond was really quiet today, didn’t see any motion other than a couple of swallowtails swooping around for bugs.

Caught this awesome caterpillar right at the end of the trail 😁:

I felt wicked hungry when we got back and I grabbed an early lunch. That brought on an early smack into the wall. Wenche had her vampire soap opera show on and so I laid down and let it put me to sleep. 😛

I was kind of in and out the whole time, but I got caught up on a bit of what I lost. Luckily, didn’t feel too bad when I got up, took me a minute to get back to speed (and a Red Bull), but I didn’t drag so bad for the rest of the day.

Got some shower time 😉 and then Wenche made us some pasta and meat sauce for dinner and we watched a movie…um, 100% Wolf, an animated film from Australia. Not too bad, typical coming of age sort of story and not too preachy. Kept me awake, anyway, so I guess it gets a score of two eyes open.

Never quite got around to working at the computer…I did a bunch of Google searching trying to pin down why the cookie might be undefined, but from everything I read, I have it set up correctly…there might possibly be one syntax issue that I’m going to try, but I’m afraid it’s not going to fix it, so I couldn’t bring myself to try and find out. The summer break is starting to come to an end and I’m beginning to get a little disappointed with myself that I haven’t gotten more done on this. I did get the login working and have integrated Keychain and gotten past that barrier, so there has been real progress and I am moving forward…so there is something positive to say there at least; haven’t spent the vast majority of the time sleeping or playing Oculus, mostly exercising instead (although I have played a bit).

I played some Splinterlands for awhile, but I started to get tired again and lost interest. Not too bad, though, made it until nearly eight thirty.

Woah! I got forty-three SIM today from dShitty; been forever since I got that much! Never mind that it’s about a tenth of what I should be getting.

Went in and reset my mission on Rising Star. Got some drunks, looks like, but I’m just going to soldier on for now.

Four days left to wait on HashKings…it really kind of occupies the most annoying possible place. I mean, Rising Star doesn’t require that much attention, but at least once or twice a day…and dShitty just sits there sucking, no other attention required. This is just a lot of waiting (for capital controlled income).

I was hoping to make more progress in the ranks on Splinterlands than I ended up achieving. Only a couple more days left and I still haven’t moved up at all. 🤬

Got my brawl participation reward and had enough merits saved for two more Gladiator packs. I wish they’d make them not soulbound, so I could at least say they have some value, but as it is, nah, I’d they’re not gold foil, they’re useless to me.

Still haven’t done anything with vouchers at all. 😢 They’re starting to build up in-game again and I haven’t unloaded the last batch I moved out. Hate to take a lame price, but they’re starting to burn a hole in my pocket.

I claimed my SPS interest for the day and had three days’ worth of liquid that I moved out to H-E and swapped for some HIVE. I was going to use the liquid to buy back some SOL (and I may still), but the lowest order was cancelled and I got some PIZZA for power up day instead.
