[Oh crap! I guess I kind of slept in a little this morning…I’m super behind on the morning routine either way. Just getting started on my post and I just realized it’s Tuesday and we have the PIMP meeting in about fifteen minutes. 😱]

Today was the first day of the Fall semester, so the entire day was all about that. Got to sleep around nine thirty last night, which is a fairly reasonable adult bedtime, and woke up later than usual, around six thirty…FitBit says I was twenty minutes short of my eight hour goal, but I’m calling it close enough.

Tried to quickly plow through the morning routine because I still had the calendar and syllabus for Algebra left to do as well as the announcements to make in Blackboard. I started early and focused primarily on getting my post done and out of the way and then I sat down to work.

It was totally stressful trying to cram everything in at the last minute, but I did get everything done and even had enough time to get some exercise in! 😁💪 I needed to get back and get a shower in time to drive in, so I didn’t get a proper five kilometers in, but I was happy with more than four. 👍

I guess in my rush to get out the door I totally forgot to get my weather photo. 😢 It was, obviously, cloudy, but not too cold. I did have long stuff on but was sweating pretty good by the end.

Got back, gave the cat and dog their lunch and grabbed a sandwich myself. I was running a bit late by that point, but I got a shower, got all my stuff together and got on the road only like ten minutes late (ten minutes late to have a twenty minute buffer). The drive in went smoothly, though, and I got there about fifteen minutes before class.

Got everything set up and ready for class and hit the bathroom quick and then busted back into the teaching grind. 🤓 I went through the number systems and then we started into reviewing the ideas of relations and functions. Didn’t actually make it all the way to where I’d wanted, but it’s alright, we can pick up next class.

The drive home was uneventful as well and I was home pretty early. 😁 About an hour or so after I got home from work a seriously wicked storm rolled through. Only a bit of lightning, so not violent or loud in that sense, but it had some crazy gusts of wind! After about twenty minutes or so, the lights started to flicker a bit and then went out. They came back on, briefly, a few minutes later but then flickered really hard and, boom, the power went out and stayed out. 😭

Luckily, my phone was pretty well charged and we had phone signal, so we set up some candles and I just had another sandwich for dinner since we couldn’t cook anything and watched some YouTube videos for entertainment.

My phone was getting low on battery, but I had a charged backup that bought me some more time. Unfortunately, around bedtime, not only had the power not been restored, we completely lost phone signal. 😭 Not much choice after that, just got ready for bed and tried to get to sleep without any background noise.

Have to admit it was weird how pitch black it was in the room…there’s usually the clock and the router and all kinds of other light (like filtered in from the streetlights outside)…none of it was there! 😱

Well, my dShitty stated income is stable at one, but I guess when you throw General shittiness on top it’ll make the actual income continue on its downward trajectory. 😡

Had some drunk fans in the morning on Rising Star but I kept on with missions anyway. I actually remembered to go back in later in the evening and I did have some Ego left so I ran a mission. Now my Ego is zeroed out again, it’s back to missions…and the pendulum swings.

The waiting game continues on HashKings, but only two more days to go. Nothing interesting happening here, as usual.

I put in my brawl battles for Splinterlands today, but that was it. Was going to go back in later, but not only did we lose power, we completely lost phone signal as well, so I couldn’t connect anything anyway. 😭

I did have enough battle rewards to be able to claim them today. Those go directly to stake, which is nice, and the liquid interest that came in put me up near a hundred SPS and I moved them out but didn’t get a chance to swap them yet. Still not done anything with my vouchers either in game or on the market. 😡 Kind if become an afterthought at this point…they need more use case and/or less supply coming in.
