Well, crap! This streak didn’t last very long, only a little over a month. 😡 Admittedly, there was a lot of cheating/shaking in bed to keep it going, so it was seriously dubious anyway. Got to start over again now, for no good reason other than I didn’t actually move around that much and fell asleep early. (The FitBit glitched out for a while during the day as well, robbed me of an hour of moving and probably didn’t count a bunch of steps - still, I saw that I had a ton left and chose to lay down anyway, so no excuses.)

We were out late last night for crazy bowling and it was well after eleven thirty before I got to bed. Can’t fight the snoring, though, so was up round about the usual time. That made for about two and a half hours short on sleep for the night. 😭 Surprisingly, I made it through the day without crashing or even dragging that hard. 😮

I woke up thinking about the website and I put out a couple feelers in Discord to see if I could figure out what my error was and there were a couple responses. I had a clear idea of what to try, but I was afraid it would fail and I’d be all frustrated, so I put it off until later.

Not a lot to note about the morning routine. Cryptos are still sliding, but not precipitously. Still, MATIC has pulled back hard enough now that my risk profile isn’t quite as green as I’d like…little closer to yellow than I’d like. I’m not in any immediate danger of liquidation or anything, though, so I let it sit as is.

Got my post done and shared. I was considering resetting my posting time, but just waited for it this time. Was only set back five minutes by missing yesterday, so it isn’t too bad yet. Getting there, though, and as I’ve been saying for months, it’s a daily aggravation to me that could be and could have been easily fixed. Considering the thousands of dollars I invested in BRO, you’d think they’d be slightly more responsive.

Anyway, dinked around on Discord a bit, got some lunch, and then jumped in the shower and had some smooches. I started to feel a bit bad about not trying the changes on the website, so I gave it a shot, and…it worked!!! MAJOR milestone achieved!!!! 🥳🎉

I can now pass data back and forth between the front and back ends and both read and write to chain! 😁 Now we’re talkin’, I can actually start creating the operations and doing stuff for real. Been a long and slow road starting from zero with PHP and WordPress (and still a thousand miles to go, realistically), but progress is progress. 👍

We binged some Imagining Anna (I think it’s called)…is alright, but a little drama-y for my taste. Wenche made us steaks and curly fries for dinner and I played my Splinterlands quests until I started looking toward bedtime. I laid down and was out before I even knew it. Woke up when Wenche came to bed at midnight with just enough time to realize I’d missed my steps. Brushed my teeth and went right back to bed.

I guess, at this point, the dShitty shittiness is so close to the ceiling that robberies and crises just can’t even make it any shittier. I think that’s two days in a row now that the stated income and actual income agree, amazingsauce! I can’t imagine there’s many who actually enjoy this? Maybe the president and a couple others? Dunno. 🤷

As a little extra POS (Proof of Shittiness), I figured I’d include the photo evidence that even with having ignored the unemployment and whatever other random penalties they devised, I should be getting more than three hundred SIM per day and more than two hundred at worst (without the taxes and additional nonsense). 🤬

Got a couple missions done on Rising Star today, but that was it. Between struggling to recover my energy and falling asleep kinda’ early, that was all I could get done. I guess I did cross over the next level, but still like six more to go before the next mission unlocks, so big whoop. It still bugs me that I have those funds sitting there and should use them for something, but the PIZZA:ONEUP pool looks a lot nicer in terms of rewards.

Played quite a bit of Splinterlands in the evening today. Got caught up on my daily quests (still missed one, but no use crying over spilled milk) and actually made some serious progress! 🎉

Got my Dragon splinter quest from yesterday done, but was still just shy of Diamond:

I was right at the borderline, so it didn’t take too long into my quest for today that I broke into Diamond III:

I got Life splinter for my quest today, and while I probably could have run with it, I took a shot and changed it up. Got Dragon again instead, which was helpful. Completed the quest in Diamond and got pretty good rewards, some DEC, a couple rares, and a gold foil:

Vouchers pulled back slightly, so I held off on doing anything with them for today…it’s a much tougher calculation now without knowing the full details of the new card coming out. Still, want to go into more pools, so itching to get more liquid funds; quite a dilemma.

Staked my SPS drop. Although I would like to make my Untamed cards stronger than they are, I really don’t see myself spending more SPS on packs…maybe it the USD value rises sharply, but against whatever future incentives may be for staking (including vouchers and access to special stuff), it seems smarter to hang onto them.
