While I did get a full eight hours of sleep tonight, I was awake fairly frequently and so it was not a good sleep. Didn’t feel very well at all and dragged wicked hard. Seems to have settled into the upper lobe of my left lung…but not sure if it might be musculoskeletal (particularly a pinched nerve), feels a lot like shingles.

I’m seriously hesitant to go to the doctor at all…if they’d even see me (which is unlikely) I don’t think they’re going to approach the issue objectively, it will all just be COVID, COVID, COVID…because everything is COVID nowadays. Not only do I think that’s going to be a waste of time and money, but if it is actually COVID they’re not going to be able to do anything anyway but give me some steroids and send me on my way (to be quarantined and hassled by the state). Not really what I want to get entangled in either way.

Not a lot to note otherwise, just the usual morning routine. I did, on a whim, decide to check my Splinterlands collection value…check this nonsense:

Two point two million? I don’t think so. The 55k might be close…which is still tempting to liquidate, 100x isn’t bad…but I guess it’s fun to laugh at the idea of being a Splinterlands millionaire. 🤣

Despite not feeling that great, I did head out for a proper walk this morning.

Definitely a scorcher today. We had a heat advisory for the county and it was already quite warm when we went out.

Beautiful morning to be outside. Got some good vitamin D and had a solid sweat going by the end.

Wenche is working tomorrow, so we headed into town and did the weekly grocery shopping and errands today rather than Sunday.

Got back and put stuff away, had some lunch, and then I was mostly done. Laid down to watch some TV and fell asleep for a good two hours. Didn’t feel all that much better when I got up, though (not to mention that I really wanted to get my school stuff ready - yesterday actually).

That was pretty much it, we had some pancakes for dinner and I played my Splinterlands while I did some laps, but didn’t get the #AutomaticWin nor the #DoubleDay today.

I’m seriously hoping that my condition improves…so hard to say what exactly it might be, could just as well be cortisol from being stressed about going back to school (my back often goes nuts right around the beginning of the semester)…then again, it could be some bad news as a result of smoking so much for so long…dunno, give it a couple more days, hopefully it will be alright.

Well, still coming out on the plus side of dShitty math, but it’s still a rip…three hundred SIM a day for months just vanished into the ether…seems like it should be worth more than gold at this point. 🤷

Went in a couple times today and gathered a few CryptoBrewmaster ingredients. Still have a way to go, though. Not really that bothered either way.

Just the same old usual grind on Rising Star. Just did some missions, but my EGO is way up so it looks like lessons for the next day or two.

I felt bad enough yesterday that I didn’t play Splinterlands, so I still had the snipe quest left.

With only just over a day left in the season, I finally broke up into Diamond, but I hit the button before I got the pic taken. 😢

Got the snipe quest done still in Gold I; potions and piddly DEC:

Been seeing others complaining as well about how crappy the rewards have been the last month or so. I got snipe quest again but rolled the dice and got three wins without neutral monsters. Completed that in Diamond for a couple extra chests. At least I saw some cards this time and a reasonable chunk of DEC:

My SPS income still continues to fall despite hoarding DEC and staking all I can. 🤬 I would think that it’s getting spread out to new players, but that’s doubtful, more likely that those at the top are getting that much more as their holdings compound.
