Oct. 30, 22: Routine, Grocery Shopping, Leaves Again, TV, and Games
Got to bed a bit late again last night, round about eleven and the cat got me up in the night again, but believe it or not I made it through the whole night in bed for the second night in a row! đ Who would have thought sleeping in bed would be such an issue (never imagined having a wife that snores, I suppose).
Got up around seven thirty and ended up about half an hour short of my eight hour goal for the night. Iâm not doing to bad, though, donât feel like Iâm behind on sleep or dragging. Still not been drinking coffee (although I did have some Saturday morning just cus I wanted some), but I have been busting the Red Bulls in the afternoon, so that throws the metric off a little.
Seven thirty is a bit of a late start on the morning routine, but it wasnât too rushed today. Did the usual stuff, checked the crypto markets (which are still holding up pretty well despite a slight pullback), did some curation, checked the SOL market, did some proper token shifting that Iâd gotten a little behind on and got my wallet cleaned up and most of Solairitasâ, chatted a little on Discord, and then got to work on my post.
Once I got my post done and shared, of course it was Sunday, so time to head in to do the grocery shopping. Wenche had already gotten an early start on the laundry, and there was that to take care of later, but we headed in. We had a ton of bottles to take back, so Wenche drove and we ended up doing our usual route backwards from the bottle return. Between not needing as much stuff and the bottle returns, we actually came in under a hundred dollars for once! đđ
Got back, put everything away, and grabbed my normal sandwich for lunch and then started working a little bit on preparing for teaching Calculus on Tuesday. Havenât picked the actual examples I want to go over yet, still sort of studying to get a solid idea first, so more prep to do in the next day or two. I folded and put away the laundry that was done and cleaned up a little and started to feel a little stir crazy.
Despite having just done it the other day, the yard was pretty much full of leaves again, so I decided to play some âget off my lawn.â Wasnât quite as bad this time, though it has been raining, itâs been a couple days and the leaves were dry enough; there was still some damn pine needles, though that want to stick in the grass, so it still took a while.
Got all the leaves đ blown out to the pile along the road (they still havenât come by to suck them up) but I guess itâs fine since I had more anyway. Looking at that front tree, I think itâs likely that Iâm going to have to do it again, but doing three smaller jobs is easier than leaving it and doing it all at once (even though then itâs just one job).
I generally donât like fish but Wenche got salmon steaks for dinner tonight and we had it with cucumbers and oven roasted potatoes. I ate it all (and it was a lot)! Wasnât bad, didnât taste too fishy at all. đ Now we just wait to see when my tummy is like âWTF is this stuff?â đ
I played some WombPlay games after the daily reset and got my WomBucks challenges done as well as claiming my daily contribution for Dungeon Master. Itâs still kindaâ pissing me off that the contribution continues to be significantly less than I actually earned through the day, but I did get an additional NFT today for an extra five hundred mining power (or 300 I guess with the way it is now).
We put on our usual Golden Girls (man itâs going to suck when we get through all the seasons) until bedtime [FitBit says it was quarter past eleven, but I donât believe that at all, more like ten or so.]
[Wow, only nine thirty and Iâm done with my post for the day? Thatâs a rarity and twelve hundred words to bootâŠmight even have time to get in a proper walk before work todayâŠ]
Woah! Three days in a row without any crime or crises or anything in dShitty. This is scaryâŠhave we fallen into the Twilight Zone?! I guess the shitstorm continues to brew off the coastâŠ
I actually remembered to go in twice today on Rising Star. đź Went in, as usual, in the morning and set a lesson going and then went back in the afternoon and my Ego was still at one percent, so I ran another lesson. Finally got it back to zero, so got another mission going again for now.
I did consider sitting down at the computer today, but honestly, thatâs as far as I got. I suppose there was enough time, but went outside in the afternoon and the day just zipped past; as such, HashKings continues to sit.
On the other hand, what is not sitting is my Splinterlands cards. Iâm kindaâ thinking about putting in some SPS interest in as a prepayment so I donât have to worry about it, but I intend to check on it every day for this section of my post and to give an update about how itâs going, so itâs not that much hassle just to pay the invoices every day.
I still havenât actually seen any income from itâŠhave to withdraw and then swap, but it seems to be at about three dollars a day give or take. Not exactly going to pay for much, but (more or less) passive income is passive incomeâŠmight use some of it to try and grow Solairitas a little, weâll see, still have 350 tokens to buy back first. đ
Claimed my SPS interest for the day and decided to stake it up. I did go in, though, and swap out all of what I had on the market. Vouchers were down about five or six percent, so I left them for now, but Iâm considering using the interest to pay for the rental feeâŠI suppose itâs a wash whether itâs paid with DEC or SPS; somehow it feels like paying in DEC cuts into my profits whereas paying with SPS is getting Splinterlands to pay for it (but either way itâs less in my account).
