It's the first day of the month, and that means it's
Hive PowerUp Day!
Well, it was the 1st day of the month when I wrote this. But things happened, as they always seem to do, and I thought I had clicked the publish button... but I hadn't.
If you haven't heard of it before, you should read this post by @traciyork - it contains everything you need to know to take part, and has links to even more information!
Two of the 12 HPUDs for 2023 done, and I plan to take part in all twelve. Is there a badge for that too, to make it a baker's dozen?
I had meant to do my powerup before going to bed last night, to give the added HP longer to recharge my voting power, but I fell asleep before midnight UTC so that didn't happen. I did it first thing this morning instead. Then I did a double take - 493HP? It should be 440 something! Did I accidentally power up more than I intended? Gaaah, what'll I do next month if I spent all my Hive now?!!
Rubbing my eyes and taking a closer look, I noticed that I'd been given a nice 50HP delegation, and still had my saved Hive for the coming months. Thank you @flaxz and We Are Alive Chat - for the delegation, as well as for scaring me awake! 💜
Only 28 days until next HPUD, and while my general philosophy is "it will sort itself out" I have set aside some Hive for the next couple of powerups. If all goes well I'll be able to add to that, and not have to use any HBD, but they're there if I need them!
