Dec. 23, 21: Routine, HIVE Pop, Oculus, PYPT, Errands, TV, CryptoF$&kmaster, and Games

I made it all the way until five thirty this morning and having fallen asleep pretty early last night, I ended up with almost nine hours tonight!!! 🥳 I suppose that makes up for the hour I lost yesterday…must be teetering at about even, but I’m still in a funk as far as accomplishing anything…and the longer it goes the deeper it seems to get; I suppose I am getting things done here and there, but they’re those endless types of tasks that start needing to be done again as soon as they’re done (like doing dishes or laundry or garbage…).

Anyway, did all the usual stuff in the morning, got my post done for the day, and was pleased to find MATIC continuing to do well against ETH, BTC popping back up over $50k, and HIVE coming back up to test the resistance at $1.6:

[Seems we stuttered there for a bit, but have broken through! 🤑]

Even though I cleared off the table and got out the computer (sitting there taunting me), I still haven’t been able to bring myself to sit down to it. 😡 I have some good ideas about how to approach the problems that I’m facing, but just have a block. 😢

Instead, as seems to have become the new pattern, I played some Oculus for a while. I did get killed several more times by that big predator, but I also locked in some progress having found the three quest stones in the area (and found some bone to make a knife!). I tried just Leeeeeroy Jenkinsing it and bashing at that beasty with my club (since it takes arrows like a boss), and that didn’t turn out well either. I have some Lure mushrooms and there’s some poison mushrooms near my camp, so I’m thinking I might try making a potion and combining to make a poison lure…not sure if that’s possible, or if it will help anything with killing that thing, but so far nothing else has worked; worth a shot.

I quit out to grab some lunch and was getting set to head out to run errands when I remembered it was #PYPT today, so I joined in for a while. It’s good to have it back, very much like old times…didn’t present a post this time, but listened in and felt it out. 😄 Will probably present something next time; want to earn those #PIMP tokens!

I walked down quick and returned Venom, jumped back in to PYPT for a minute, and then headed into town to so my weekly bad habit errands. I took the dog for a ride with me, but he sort of wimpered the whole way…not sure if he was cold or if he just doesn’t like car rides or what the deal is. 🤷

Took out the garbage and did some laundry, just the normal mundane stuff…double washed the socks and then dried them on high temp. While my feet are generally significantly better than they have been in some time (looking clear mostly), the bottom of the one is still a painful (and constant) concern.

All but the worst areas seem to be clearing, though, so hopefully diligence will prove effective in avoiding any prescriptions and whatever…a couple people suggested a salt soak as well, so thinking about maybe trying that out. From what I read, it won’t kill the fungus, but it may help to dry it out and help to reduce it that way.

At that point I sort of hit the wall again. I put on the tube and I’m sure I watched a movie, but I can’t at all remember what it was…must not have been all that good, but I didn’t fall asleep at least.

Got up and made myself a fried egg and bacon sandwich with the yummy Canadian bacon we got a while back that had been in the freezer and did some moving around to finish out my steps for the day.

It’s wicked dark by like six or so, and my body seems to think it’s bedtime even though my brain says it’s way too early. Got ready for bed anyway (knowing that I’d likely fall asleep if I started watching TV) and did make it through about an episode or so of the Detectorists. Already into the third (and last available) season. 🥲 Plowing through it right quick!

Well, not a zero income day today, but more shittiness, as expected. We got a Bank robbery as an oldie, but a goodie, and it seems that the rise in the HIVE price likely caused some “math” to go on, making sure we get even less than what was promised going forward. Ah, dShitty, gotta’ love ya’!

Oh My Fucking God! I finally went in to CryptoFuckmaster to dump out the CBM for what little I can get for it, as it turned out to be ten times worse than I even realized! 🤬

First of all, they put up a paywall to even withdraw (the “right” to do which I actually PURCHASED from the mutherfuckers)!!! 🤬🤬😡🤬

So, I went in to check the market to see if it’s even worth the bother to get 1 ASH and they just discontinued the token. 🤣😂 Unfuckingbelievable!

I hope they choke on a fat one, bigtime!

To anyone still wasting their money on this:

Just the usual missions on Rising Star today. I suppose I am, slowly, approaching the unlocking of the next mission (angelic voices from heaven) for whatever that’s worth. I’ve still ever only recycled Starbits back in-game, might be time to sell a couple, dunno.

Time continues to tick away on the Splinterlands season and I simply cannot find the willingness to subject myself to playing.

I did make the mistake of signing up for the guild brawl (gold/silver), so I put in my battles out of a sense of duty. Three more losses to add to the streak, why not?

I still feel like packs are outrageously expensive (in terms of SPS) and so, even though I could get some more packs, I’ve just continued to stake my SPS drop and hoard my vouchers. Probably not the best decision, but it still does earn some interest as well (in an apparently falling asset 🤔).
