Woah buddy! Tonight was a rough one. 😢 Wasn’t asleep terribly late, a little before nine, but then the wife’s snoring woke me up around 2:30. I tried to nudge her and sorta’ went back to sleep, but the cat started in with his howling. 😡 Between the snoring and the cat, by the third or fourth time I was awoken I was pretty much up and my mouth has started to bug me (gotten away with it this long, but it’s a major surgery thing, not just a visit to the dentist) and that put my anxiety/stress levels through the roof at which point there was no chance of getting back to sleep, never mind that the cat would just keep howling until I got up and let him out anyway.

Got out of bed about about three, worried about my gums and aggravated about being awake and facing a full day of work with no possibility of making it back up. Not much else to do then other than to do the usual routine in the dead of night.

I had left most of my Algebra prep for this morning, so I worked on that and got a clear idea of our goals for the day. Did all the normal stuff I do every day and then started working on my post. I will say, it is nice to see a little bullish momentum in the crypto markets…been looking scary out there for a while. I still don’t think we’re out of the woods yet, but we did break some resistance which is a good sign.

I still wasn’t feeling quite comfortable enough to increase my DeFi position yet, though, but I think I’m getting close to being able to bump it back up a little here real soon. HIVE popped a bit too, but seems to have retraced some of those gains. Even so, holding well above a dollar now, which is awesome.

Got my post done and then got a shower and made my lunch and all that jazz to get ready to go in for work. I left a few minutes early and snagged some gas and then headed in. No problems on the drive and I was there about fifteen minutes early.

Had my Algebra class, and although we covered a lot of good ground, having missed last class, I decided to push the exam (and homework) due date back a week. I think we’d be alright to stick with it this week, but it wouldn’t give us too much time to review, so having a little buffer should help take some of the pressure off that.

Headed out to the car and ate my lunch. Actually had a fairly reasonable signal on the WiFi out there today and I watched a couple YouTube videos to kill some time. Headed in to teach Calculus and even using the bathroom was twenty minutes early and ended up standing outside the door.

Anyways, we had a pretty intense class today. I used the epsilon-delta definition of the limit to prove all the properties of how limits behave. I think it helped the students to see how those proofs work, but it was certainly a mentally challenging two and half hours! 🤓 Stuck around for a while after class and fielded some questions and then headed home.

Wenche and I got back round about the same time and she made us some yummy chicken stir fry-ish stuff with rice and we finished out the last season of Norsemen.

We switched over to the new show: Murderville and it is quite funny! Got ready for bed and watched a bit…was surprised that I hadn’t completely passed out by then. Definitely didn’t need to do any more steps for the day, but I did do some to complete the #DoubleDay! 💪

Today was a perfect carbon copy of yesterday in dShitty as best as I can tell. No crime or crises and stated income only two with actual income a massive, mind blowing, astounding four SIM. If I keep on at this rate, Elon better look out! 😛

Not a whole lot going on with Rising Star today. I did a mission since my Ego was still alright, but then had to do lower missions cause I didn’t have enough energy. I do have a pizza I could have used, but just waited instead. Speaking of Pizza 🍕, I won a card from the weekly giveaways on Pizza Discord! 🥳 Not really sure what one, Dave or something 🤷 but I suppose it helps either way. 👍

It was actually quite late before I reset my Splinterlands quest, so much so that I considered just leaving it until tomorrow morning, but I imagined the hassle of trying to get it done before or during trying to get my post done and I just went for it. Didn’t do too bad today!

Finally broke up into Gold I! 💪😁

Had Earth splinter for my quest today and didn’t even give it a second thought. Got it done in Gold I and got some pretty sweet rewards! Got a bit of DEC and a couple cards, but then pulled a Chaos Legion pack:

The pack turned out to be pretty good as well! Got three rare and another summoner:

No moves today either with my vouchers (which continue to hold low) or my SPS drop; just staked it up. While I do still have a bit of liquid funds on the market, really itching to go harder into 1UP and possibly pools, so really hoping for a nice pop in the voucher price.

Got my stats for the last week. Holy crap! Red arrows absolutely everywhere. 😡 I guess I should have expected it considering I didn’t teach on Wednesday (which is generally a ton of steps and active minutes) and worked quite a bit sitting at the computer. Surprised that my sleep is more or less level, but I do seem to recall crashing out hard a few times in the afternoons.
