Luckily, once again, I was not required to go in for jury duty today and had the day off proper. There’s a big snow storm coming tomorrow and we got several emails throughout the day about if classes were canceled what to do…in the evening they did finally call it, so no teaching tomorrow, got a snow day! ❄️ ⛄️

Despite having relatively high productivity hopes for today, and despite not even touching the Oculus, somehow I managed to accomplish next to nothing all day…let’s examine the details of my failure to utilize my finite time on Earth:

My sleep wasn’t really all that bad, nine thirty to five thirty and only about a half an hour short, but for some reason it hit me like a ton of bricks today and I totally crashed out in the afternoon. 😢

Checked on the crypto markets and we’re still trading sideways. Got a percent or two to the green, which is good, but still looking out for a bull trap. Even though my Aave investment has fallen against ETH (so I’m still losing hard on that FIRE garbage), it is a lot healthier than it was and I did decide to increase my position slightly. I wasn’t comfortable upping all the way back to where I was when I last paid it down, but went half way, so a little more interest coming in.

Messed around on Discord, watched some YouTube, did some chores, all the usual routine, and spent some time shifting tokens on H-E.

Speaking of which, I’ve been getting a lot more interested in 1UP lately. Not exactly sure why, but it seems like they have a lot going on and, in addition, seems to be a relatively popular tag with SOL holders, so I took a solid chunk of the funds I had from selling vouchers and got some more. I staked five hundred more to @solairitas and then took the rest and went harder into the HIVE:1UP pool. Pretty enticing at 160% and helps to build more 1UP income for The Project over time. 👍☀️

Today marked the official announcement of Power Up Month. Only forty people got it in the end:

It was Power Up Day as well, so I moved some HIVE out of H-E and powered it up for that badge as well. I guess there’s a delegation that comes from the PUM badge…didn’t even know that, bonus! 🤑 Also got the monthly author badge…today was a good day for badges. 😀

Did my post for the day and got it shared and then the WALL. I fiddled with the phone for a bit and grabbed some lunch, but that was about all the motivation I could muster.

I put something on the TV, tried to watch for like ten minutes, but was out for a solid hour and a half. Luckily I didn’t feel too bad getting up, but I was slow to recover somewhat.

Figured some fresh air might help and a walk would get the blood flowing, plus I needed more toenail stuff from the store, so I suited up and walked down. It was just a couple blocks so I didn’t bother to track it or anything, but it helped a little with my steps which I was very short on.

Got back, did some more cleaning up and then scrubbed and treated my toes. That was basically the day. Wenche had an upgrade appointment for her car in the morning, so she was pretty late getting home from work, but when she got home she made us turkey taco salad for dinner and we watched some Workaholics.

I played some Splinterlands while we watched, but ended up getting frustrated and when I started thinking about bedtime, I had thousands of steps left anyway, so I quit and did some marching in place to finish out. It was actually quite late, like after ten I think, when I finally went to bed…have a feeling that my sleep cycle might be getting shifted/messed up again.

Wow! I got a full DOUBLE my stated income from dShitty today. 🥳 A whole four SIM! I mean, what am I to do with all this wealth?! Thinking I might need to set up a shell company in the Cayman’s to shield myself from the tax liability. 😛

Nothing really too interesting going on with Rising Star today; just did a couple missions and that was about it. I guess they released some new cards today, but I don’t really think it’s worth it to buy packs, especially against the opportunity cost of Splinterlands packs. We’ll see, though, with extra Starbits coming in from pools, I might look for peoples’ scraps on the market.

It took quite a bit of struggle, but I did finally complete my Splinterlands quest from yesterday. I started into my quest for today but got frustrated and rage quit for the night. [Been considering trying to finish (like now), but don’t really feel like dealing with the potential frustration].

Still holding in Gold, at least, and got a bit of DEC and a Rare for my daily rewards:

Kinda’ realized that it might be smarter to put my DEC hoard into the pool rather than leaving it sit in-game. That way, it would be worth double the airdrop points…but, there’s the matching HIVE as well. For now I left it alone, regardless of the double points, the interest rate on that pool isn’t very good.

Staked up my drop for the day and still just left the vouchers I have sitting on the market. They were down a good seven or eight percent or so, so just holding tight for the moment. With going harder into the 1UP pool, though, my liquid funds are getting a bit thin; might pull the trigger soon irrespective of the price.
