[Not sure what my deal is at the moment…got a solid early start on this post this morning and got the skeleton done before nine which puts me in a great position; a full hour to complete the text…but for some reason I’m petering out already and have kinda’ lost the motivation. Hopefully, once I get rolling (which is what this little rant is all about) I’ll start to feel the flow and get it done.]

Fell asleep around nine thirty last night, but, as is the new normal the HonkClock™️ (the alarm clock you can’t set and can’t turn off) started going off around two thirty or so, so it was up and out to the couch for me. 🤬😭 Sleeping out there doesn’t leave me much choice about when I wake up either since the lights start coming on and the cat and dog start making all kinds of noise…so I was up at seven again. Somehow, FitBit says I got the full eight hours, though, so despite being disrupted it was alright.

Decided to make myself some coffee this morning. I’ve been cutting it out, but I definitely miss it (although I don’t really miss the ups and downs or the headaches from caffeine withdrawals or having to pee really bad all the time…). I went for about half as much as I used to, though.

Got on with the morning routine and was super pleased to see that HIVE had popped and finally broken above the $.5 ceiling! 🤑 [It has since, of course, erased those gains.]

BTC was still holding up around the middle of $20k and the markets were holding pretty much steady sideways in the same area for the last couple days.

Otherwise, did all the usual. I won ten of the Pizza giveaways, so got some nice tokens coming soon. 🤑 But, as I recall, I didn’t really get too much curation done (will pay for that in a week, or rather not get paid), but shifted tokens, checked the SOL market, got caught up on Discord, played a little WombPlay, and then started working on my post.

Luckily, I was only a couple minutes late this time to realize that it was Tuesday and we had the weekly PIMP meeting. So, once again, I had to split my attention and listen in to the conversation while I finished up my post.

There wasn’t anything particularly noteworthy that interested me from the meeting this time, which is good for my pocketbook…seems like I run out and buy some token or other every time we meet! 😛😂

After the meeting finished up, I started working for real on getting ready for class in the evening. I’d been studying and watching YouTube videos, but I hadn’t worked through which particular examples I wanted to cover. After a while, I noticed that like an hour and a half had flown by and I took a break, got some lunch, and then went back to it.

I wasn’t really sure I had enough for the full class, but there was still some time left in the afternoon and it was pretty nice out and I didn’t take the dog with me when I went out yesterday, so I decided to take him out for a walk today. Not quite five kilometers, but close. 👍

About ten degrees warmer out there than it has been, and sunny, so no hat or scarf today, but I did still have a heavy jacket on. Dude wanted to push the pace on the backstretch and I was seriously hot and sweaty by the time we got back (regretted the jacket a bit).

I did a little bit of thinking about the Mythix gameplay redesign, but honestly just rehashing what I have been thinking about the past few days, nothing really new and didn’t make any new decisions.

We went down past the pond and it was pretty quiet again, but I did see some more froggies sunning on the bank. 😁

After we got back, I worked through a couple more examples for this evening’s class and got stuck on a problem that was bugging the hell out of me. My math wasn’t wrong, it was the intuition I had that the figure we were looking at was half a cube. Once we talked about it in class it sunk in.

Felt like we had enough to cover and got all wrapped up in why my thoughts disagreed with one another, so tried to think about it while I grabbed a couple bowls of cereal for dinner, got in the shower, and got everything set up for class.

Today we looked at triple integrals and we used them to find volume as well as 4-D “volume” which is easier to understand as the mass of a solid given that the function is a mass density function. I ended up having to cut the last example short (the one we discussed and I convinced myself it wasn’t half a cube) and didn’t work through the mechanics of the problem, just the setup and even then we finished about five minutes overtime.

As usual, it takes me a while to chill back down enough to start getting ready for bed and I was hungry still, so I made myself a piece of toast and cleaned up the clean dishes in the dishwasher and the dish strainer.

I played some WombPlay games after the daily reset and we watched some Murder, She Wrote and then switched over to Golden Girls until falling asleep pretty late again.

[Look at that, it worked. Didn’t really feel like writing a post this morning, but once I got started it turned out alright.]

Ok, here we go. dShitty was calm there for like three days and then yesterday the dam broke and now it’s really starting to come down the pipe. Got two crises today. Nice. Expecting a Bank Robbery and some more General Crime here right soon. 😛

Went in this morning to find drunk fans on Rising Star, so just plowed on with my missions for now. I did actually remember to go back in later on and they hadn’t expired, but my energy was full and I ran another. Now I literally have drunks on top of drunks…so worth it to spend that time keeping my Ego down when they just undo it. 😡

Nope, still haven’t sat down at the computer, and if I did I would feel strongly obligated to work on the website, not to deal with this, but give it another day or two and I’ll get aggravated enough with myself that I’ll handle this again and then do it all over again a week later. I suppose in the interim, at least, I’ll get new pics every day and get to laugh at their busted jpeg on the third day…

I guess it’s a result of the fact that the Splinterlands season just ended, but it appears my rental income has fallen off sharply, as in 50% sharply. 😭 It’s still going to take a bit before I have a solid idea of what it looks like over the course of a week or a month, and it is fairly passive income, so for now I’m leaving it as it is and just watching.

I’m still trying to figure out the best way to get the funds together to buy SOL tokens back…thinking I’m going to have to pour all the rental income as well as the SPS interest into it for some time. Today, though, I staked what I got (all except what I thought was enough to pay the rental fee). Turns out, it wasn’t enough and I ended up having to lay with DEC anyway. I guess I could have waited until my claim tomorrow and then paid two days together, but I like to stay on top of it…don’t like owing anyone money.

Got my weekly stats from FitBit again today. Sooo close to a hundred thousand steps. 😢 Still, mostly green arrows, and glad to see that my sleep average is holding above my eight hour goal. 😃
