Well, despite my best efforts, the stress level regarding Fall semester is now insanely high. Less than a week to go and I’ve got zero planning done for Algebra and not heard anything from the lead faculty. 🤬 I reached out to them on the first of the month so that I wouldn’t be in this spot right now, but they gave me no choice. 😡

Anyway, I spent pretty much the entire day studying and practicing. I’m getting a lot more comfortable with it now and been drilling myself with a problem and doing it multiple ways…for triple integrals there’s six ways to set them up, so been picking two or three at random, setting them up, and working them through to check my answers…luckily, the harder stuff that I’m working on now comes way later in the semester. We start off pretty darn easy just talking about vectors and dot and cross products.

Chrono finally bought the UTOPIS I had set for sale and then I turned around and gave him back all the HIVE and then some. 😭 I guess I’ll just view it as a donation to my Project, eh? I’m not going to resell the tokens, the proceeds have already been powered up and I don’t want to set the first phase back by nearly a thousand tokens. 😢 Thinking I may put some in for the PIZZA giveaways, but for now I’m just hanging onto them.

Otherwise, pretty much just the usual morning routine. I cleaned up the dishes in the dishwasher and the sink and took out the garbage in addition, I suppose. Worked on my post for the day, got it done and published, and basically just practiced more Calculus III.

I really intended to get all the stuff made for Calculus today, but somehow managed to procrastinate for another day and continue to make my stomach churn for no good reason. I didn’t waste that much time (some playing WombPlay games and that, but no Oculus and no tv or napping), but still didn’t sit down and actually complete any tasks. 😢

Still, I wanted to keep going with rebuilding the habit of exercising and I decided to head out for a Zombierun. Once again I planned on going five and set the mission for that long, but ended up doing a little over six kilometers. 💪

The mission today was looking for ingredients (possibly) for a cure to the zombie virus 🦠. Seems that either honey or bee venom may be a crucial ingredient and so we went to gather a beehive. To be honest, I only really ran when there were zombies, but I didn’t walk slowly, it was still a pretty brisk pace. The zombies were that bad, though, as a result and I evaded the three of them without any warnings.

Was another absolutely gorgeous day out. I wish I could let my tension drop (and I tried again) to just enjoy it, but even so it was great to be out in the sunshine and heat…free star energy! 😀

After I got back I got a shower and messed around on the phone a bit and watched some more YouTube videos until Wenche got home. She made us turkey tacos for dinner and then we watched some more Only Murders in the Building.

I had a Red Bull fairly late in the afternoon and it was still relatively early when we got done with dinner, so I actually made it all the way through at least two, maybe three episodes before falling asleep.

I did finally receive an email (very late in the evening) from the lead faculty for Algebra. Apparently, there’s been a shakeup and we have a new guy. Unfortunately, it didn’t contain any of the information I actually needed to start planning, but I replied and will hopefully hear back soon. Only like four days left before I have to be ready for real, and I really should have everything set and going on Sunday at the latest in order to appear prepared and professional (hate to start them off with shaky confidence in how prepped their professor is!).

No crime or crises in my dShitty today, so just the usual, basic, shittiness. At least my actual income is in the double digits…the bar is low.

Looks like lessons are buying me more time to run missions on Rising Star these days. Whereas before it was about every two missions I seems to be able to get three now. Still not close to a third of the way to millionaire.

Although I did think about it several times today, I never got around to sitting at the computer to deal with HashKings. So stupid that it doesn’t work on mobile at all. 🤬

Played some more Splinterlands this evening and made a bit of progress in the ranks, but I can’t say that I’m all too chuffed about getting reset again shortly. It is better to finally have my monster’s usual abilities back, not having rally and the other buffs really sucks (I’m used to relying on them).

The Focus rewards for today were a joke…but not funny. Two potions and a nothing? Ok, really worth the time. 🤬

Finally got into Gold, but they’re just going to throw me back down to Silver in a few days, so whatever.

Got my brawl rewards today and two worthless Gladiator packs:

Claimed my SPS interest for the day and the last couple days I’d staked to build my balance a little, so today I left it liquid. Not really enough to worry about swapping yet, but another day or two on top and it will help. Still just waiting for vouchers to move.
