Despite not getting to bed until nearly ten last night and several clear instances of waking up through the night, I slept all the way until seven! 😱 That made for a late start on the morning routine, but also made for a full night’s sleep!!! 😁

I kinda’ had the goal to take care of all the planning for my classes next semester that start on Monday already 😮 but I spent a lot of time doing schoolwork Monday and Tuesday and wanted to kind of have a bit of a break today.

Did all the usual morning stuff and got to work on my post…kind of nagging at me that I didn’t finish it properly; maybe that was the day before? Anyway, otherwise cryptos are still being mean and falling, so I’m trying not to look. 😭

Here’s a harsh lesson if I ever did see one (stolen from FB):

Headed over to Discord for the weekly PIMP meeting and things continue to be looking strong. 💪 Gettin’ that Paper in my Pocket, y’all! 🤑 One thing I can say is Witty has his own dev work done. 😛 (BRO dig) Speaking of which, we basically said to sell off BRO above a thousand and then wait and see (which he did almost immediately - love it when people do what they say they will!!! 👍).

I’m still waiting to see if there’s a better buy order for enough liquidity to sell mine off or if Ray’s going to have to start dipping into Brofund assets (if he isn’t already - pretty sure he is) to keep propping up the price. There certainly doesn’t seem to have been much of a shortage of sells recently (been watching the market pretty closely for an opportunity).

After we finished up the meeting, I grabbed my usual sandwich for lunch and then hopped into VR for a little while. Played some more Mercenaries on Resi 4 and actually five starred two new levels!!! I did actually have five stars for another level (super hard, only headshots and any miss hurts you with no way to heal)…all I had to do was survive the remaining time, but I didn’t think about how close to dying I was, took a risk, and blew the whole thing. 🤬😡🤬 Oh well, I know a strategy for doing it, just have to try again and be more careful.

We’d been watching some Hulu using a friend’s code to check it out, but I’d been feeling guilty about that and decided to get us our own account. Not been disappointed so far, there’s a lot of good shows on there and it gives us a third option when Netflix and Amazon run out of stuff to watch.

One of the main shows I was super excited for was Rick and Morty! I’ve seen a couple episodes before, but never really had the chance to see much more…sooooo good, and I knew it would be. 😁🤣 I couldn’t resist bingeing for like four and a half episodes, but then I kinda’ started to feel bad about being a bump on a log.

Mom had asked me to bring over the power washer that I fixed last summer to wash off her back porch which was all covered in the green and black slime that comes with an aging wood deck during my break from teaching. It wasn’t really all that warm today, but since classes start next week there wasn’t much time to dilly-dally either, so I went down and got some fresh gas, put on a thick over shirt, and walked everything over to her place.

Didn’t take me too terribly long, couple hours I suppose, but my back was absolutely killing me by the time I got everything done and brought back home! I got a hot shower and made myself some soup and bread and butter for dinner and popped some painkillers.

Wenche had an appointment after work, so she wasn’t home until late and I watched another episode or so before she got back. We switched to The Librarians (also a fun Hulu show) and I played my Splinterlands until bedtime.

Now, this is news! 📰 dShitty income went from negative whatever nonsense to something positive! 😮 Not only that, my actual SIM income skyrocketed to a dizzying thirty-two!!! 🤑 Tesla, here we come.

Spent quite some time today discussing the Rising Star rules over in Discord. For now, as strictly speaking the rules have not changed, I have agreed to them. It isn’t necessarily that that bothers me (I don’t have any desire to run multiple accounts or anything), it’s that they’re choosing to try and tackle an endless, losing war…just like CryptoBrewmaster did. 😡 Generally, speaking from experience, it’s the death knell resounding…

Nothing interesting to note regarding HashKings today. Just sitting and waiting, waiting…

Four more days left to go:

Seems to be getting later and later in the evening before I get started with my Splinterlands quest. 😢 Today was a bit rougher than yesterday and I was pretty frustrated by the end.

I did make some solid progress and broke into Gold I:

Which I immediately lost out of and finished my Sneak quest for the day back in Gold II. 😡 Pretty crap rewards again today, but at least a bit more DEC:

Just the usual staking as far as SPS goes today. The DEC transfer in I made yesterday didn’t seem to help all that much, but I guess I didn’t fall as hard? 🤷 No moves on vouchers either, but I’m really scraping the bottom of the barrel now as far as liquid HIVE goes. 😱 Need to sell some more or sell some BRO or bridge some MATIC or something…
