I do have to admit that my sleep has been great the last couple days! 🥳 Eight thirty to six thirty today and nearly a full hour over!!! I definitely struggled to motivate myself to do anything of consequence, but I hardly dragged at all, which is major progress! 🤩

Did the usual morning routine and cryptos were looking a little ugly. Nothing goes straight up (at least not for long), so just looking to find some support to hopefully resume a solid bull run…hearing calls again of $100k+, would be nice to see, but the market always has a way to go the opposite everyone thinks.

My shittokens and DeFi got hit too, of course, but I was surprised how well FIRE has held up, at least relatively speaking. Still losing a lot on that, but slowly making it back harvesting…going to take me more than a year to make my original investment back, but I suppose all things considered that isn’t that bad anyway.

I did my laps and worked on my post, and I had it, I really did, but I got distracted and wasn’t able to finish and get my picture taken in time…would have had to set the clock back and so I broke the streak (with an asterisk). 😭

Like I said, though, still wasn’t really able to get myself to work on much. Basically just did some chores and then jacked into the Oculus. Played quite a bit of Yuki. Got to the final boss, but couldn’t do any damage…had to look it up, but it’s only damaged by charged shots it seems. Played a few rounds of Beat Saber as well and posted a couple higher high scores.

Still don’t want to play Ven…that one makes me sad/angry/disappointed. I really want to play because it was fun, but it’s so rediculously hard now it’s dumb…like ten perfectly timed jumps in a row or lose a life and start over? That’s just insanely frustrating.

I did get out in the garage for a while, but not sure I can say I accomplished anything. Mostly just cleaned up that shelf/bench along the back wall and put away the tools and drill bits and stuff that was piled up on there.

I did plop in front of the tube for a bit as well…I’m just super-duper stuck on what to do with the website right now. Strictly speaking, there’s stuff I should do to get ready for the semester that starts on Monday, but I’m doing the ol’ “it’s vacation” rationalization. Need to stop procrastinating and get some of that done, help to lower my and the students’ anxiety about going back.

Wenche made some eggs 🍳 and bacon 🥓 for dinner and we watched some more of the Flash before hitting the hay.

Eighty-nine is ninety-five? This is the kind of dShitty math I like!

Solairitas is getting .08 HIVE per day for stockpiling SIM, so at least that’s something.

Pretty sure I went in to CryptoBrewmaster today, but not sure. If I did, it was just a one ingredient day…kinda’ doubtful about that, though. This game is generally an afterthought when I do this section of my post.

Again, no real progress on Rising Star. Did a couple missions and a lesson, that was about it. Starting to get a little monotonous at this point.

Played quite a bit of Splinterlands in the evening (more than I wanted to, actually). Got my brawls set up earlier and staked my falling SPS income…kinda’ resenting the tax liability they’ve incurred for me (I have to report it as income).
