799... hours before my next vacations?
Nope (Although the travel bug doesn't stop biting me). Not as great, but still something I'm really looking forward to: reaching 10000 HP!
And since a new month begins, it's the perfect time to reassess some metrics and check my evolution. This time, I powered up a little bit from my liquid hive to reach a more round number. With a quick look to the awesome leofinance's tool Hivestats (apart from all the other helpful info) the 30 days graph clearly shows I'm on the right track.
Picking up my usual table, this is how I stand now:
| Jan 2023 | Last Month | April 2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| HP | 8500 | 8904 | 9101 |
| LEO | 1064 | 1168 | 1231 |
| HBD | 735 | 829 | 880 |
A 600 HP growth since the beginning of the year seems a pretty good growth rate to me, and the evolution of my HBD savings makes me happy as well!
If my memory doesn't fail me, somewhere this month it will be my 5th anniversary on Hive. Mind blowing, realising how long I've been posting and exploring all the plethora of dapps we have!
This month, I finally upgraded from my old computer, and with a great help from a tech savy friend, got a new desktop with very good specs. My productivity went up the roof! So many things I thought were slow, were so simply because my old laptop couldn't do any better; so now, apart from doing all I was dong before in a fraction of the time, I'm able to explore things I couldn't before, such as more demanding web3 games. Apart from my usual games, I started exploring 
Off our blockchain, I've been poking around some new projects, but it's insane the amount of things happening and being developed right now. It's hard to keep up! Between new coins, new blockchains, an ever more sophisticated/scary AI, there's plenty of stuff to keep me occupied. But apart from the crypto world, I really am missing some nature contact. Fortunately, it seems the chance to do some hiking and birdwatching will come soon: best way to recharge batteries!
Let's see how April goes!
