[I’m thinking about heading out to try and get a #AutomaticWin this morning (got about two hours, so totally doable), so going to try and get my post structure done quick and hopefully have time to finish before posting time at ten…I got it 💪 and I got my post done on time. Today’s going to be a good day.]

I didn’t get to bed until quite late last night, after eleven! 😳😯 Got caught up with messing around on Bitdegree, getting myself set up, completing the first course, and then finding another to sign up for. The one I’m going through now is about Polygon and the second video did explain a bit more about what was going on in the first one…seems that moralis is a platform for creating Web3 dApps. I’m not sure how they’re providing servers and services for free (so I’m a little skeptical, especially about connecting my Metamask to it) but it seems like it might be something worth looking into to get linked up with Polygon and a few other chains…ETH, of course, as well, but I’m not going to bother with that until the TPS and gas fees are actually fixed.

Was up around the usual time still, though, about six thirty which put me an hour short for the night. I didn’t feel it too bad, but I sort of blasted the day messing around with games and watching videos and stuff rather than getting any kind of real work done.

The morning routine was was pretty usual. Cryptos are right back where they were before the little pump the last week…BTC just below $20k and HIVE basically pegged to $.55. With the hard dump on ETH, I did actually gain back some on Polygon…even considered swapping back to lock it in. Unfortunately, I’m still down .7 ETH from Ray’s fucking FIRE investment and I should probably face up to the fact that I’m not going to make it back. (Wait until I swap out and then MATIC will pump 😛)

Worked on my post for the day and got it done and shared and then looked toward heading out for a solid walk. It wasn’t too hot and the doggy really wanted to go, so I took him down the nature trail. I was kind of expecting that he was going to start turning around and heading home about halfway, and he did, but we did go the whole way around if not a full five kilometers.

Really starting to get hints of Fallishness now…mid September? Probably only have a couple properly warm days left…

Not too cold yet for the turtles 🐢, though. Saw quite a few swimming around today:

Not so sunny today, but still a nice day to enjoy being outside.

Saw a few butterflies still out and was even able to get a shot:

After I got back I had my usual sandwich for lunch and dinked around killing some time playing WombPlay games and watching YouTube videos. Hopped in the shower and then went over to Pizza server early for pre-Trivia hype music 🎵!

Then, of course, it was Trivia Time!!!! 🥳 I did quite well today and got a solo win for two PIZZA right off the bat! 🤑 Ended up staking a little over fourteen, not too shabby!

Once Trivia finished up, I kinda’ considered doing some web work, but my tummy had other ideas and I made myself a grilled cheese sandwich and chicken noodle soup for dinner.

That was basically it for the day. Chilled and watched some TV in the evening, played some Splinterlands and got another NFT for playing War Alliance and buried it in Dungeon Master. Thinking I need to try and get some work done on the website tomorrow. 🤔

So I guess twenty-three SIM is my new more or less stable income for dShitty. Never mind that it says it’s supposed to be five and without all the tax nonsense it would actually be closer to four hundred…

Well, I am truly surprised that it took this long, but my Ego started to grow on Rising Star, so having to take a break from missions and hit some lessons for a bit to get it back down.

It appears my current wait on HashKings has come to an end. Now I either have to sit at the computer or feel bad that it’s sitting there idle. Can’t really say I’ve enjoyed much of this game even since the beginning…I thought I saw some potential there, but they just keep creating more tokens and more mechanisms to make it seem more complex, but ultimately it’s all just click a button and wait.

Despite my trepidation, I played Splinterlands and, as expected, it sucked and I immediately lost right back into Silver. Seems my choices are: play with crippled monsters and have moderately easier opponents or have OP opponents and crippled monsters anyway. 🤬

Got one whopping Focus chest pending…what do you want to bet it’s either 9 potions or like .2 SPS? 😛😡

For the amount of SPS that I had liquid, I could have gotten three RW packs in-game…not going to getting enough to make the airdrops worth anything (and already missed the presale, so whatever), so I went over to H-E and found some for sale at $3.8. For that amount of liquid SPS I was able to get five packs. 👍

Honestly, though, I immediately had buyer’s remorse. That was like three or four days’ worth of interest and twenty-five cards? Even if they were all the same common card, that would get me to what? Like level three maybe? More likely to have ten or so level one cards and either never use them or feel like I have to buy more to make them worth anything.

I might play the same game as I have with the CL packs…not open them and sell them later to someone for exorbitant prices on the potential for a Legendary…

Otherwise, I claimed my interest for the day and am still keeping it liquid for now…thinking about DEC for tower defense and then asking myself why when I just regretted buying RiftWatchers…🤷
