Woke up super early, around three or so, but I actually just used the bathroom and went back to bed (that’s super rare, usually once I’m up, I’m up). Only made it another hour, though, and was up again at four (this time for realsies) and another good hour and a half short. 🥺
Did the usual morning routine. Crypto markets are looking nasty, don’t even want to look! Shoulda’, coulda’, woulda’ sold a few days ago. Hindsight, right?
Not exactly sure what got under my craw today, my exchange wasn’t due up or anything, but I decided to go for a #AutomaticWin. Still haven’t really felt like going out in the cold (minus ten hardcoreness points), so I just paced laps around the house until I got it. It’s not an official one (didn’t post ActiFit), but I achieved it nonetheless.
Of course, been thinking a lot about my game idea. Not as much the gameplay stuff as wrestling with the business and legal aspects...or more the technicalities. Had initially thought to create an NFT and a token on H-E, but why? Then I’m subject to their programming and dependent on their servers and APIs and have to pay for it to boot!
While I hate to reinvent the wheel, and I’m not completely decided on the token side of things (market exchange would be cool), there’s something to be said for independence. I think I might be starting to see ways to do it without them...
Still been watching a couple more tutorials. Starting to see some repetition of information and things are sinking in a little better. Got to try and get the development environment set up!
Otherwise, the day was pretty much dominated by the fact that I had yet another dentist appointment. It was a regular cleaning and X-rays, so no numbing, but he did do the mean hypersonic water spray thing (my fault for mentioning it to him). His assistant wasn’t there, so he was running late and the appointment ended up being almost three hours from when I showed up to when I left! 😱 Thankfully I’m still borderline periodontal disease, there’s still hope I won’t be diagnosed outright.
I had some errands to run, but unfortunately, they were on the opposite side of town. Not a biggie, just hit the highway. Got Mom a remote control light switch for her basement light, got some stuff I needed, and then hit the pharmacy to fill a fluoride prescription from the dentist. I had meant to go over and install the new switch, but I was hungry and worn out after running around all day, so figured I’d try and relax and install it tomorrow.
Like I said, I was kind of worn out by then and I hadn’t even eaten anything all day, so I grabbed a sandwich and laid down on the couch to relax. Put on a movie: The Conjuring 2. I was kind of like “whatever” since I hadn’t seen the first one, but it was good and vury scurry! I have to give it two eyes open...even though I moved to the bed it had my heart pounding the whole way. It was based on a true story, kind of like the British version of The Exorcist. I’d never hear of it before! Wenche doesn’t dig scary movies, so that’s why I figured I could watch it while she was working.
After she got off work we watched a new series Ginny and Something, can’t remember...interpersonal drama (not my thing) but it wasn’t terrible, at least not so preachy that it makes me gag like most of them do.
Surprisingly, I watched several episodes of that and didn’t get to bed until much later than usual, about ten o’clock. We’ll see whether that helps to reset my sleep cycle or just cuts me shorter.
No robbery in my dCity today, so that’s something. Taxes are crazy, there’s a disaster, and there’s still a weird discrepancy in my income...looked at my SIM balance this morning and was surprised by how little it has grown lately.
Not thinking about selling out or anything, but it has become somewhat more of an aggravation than anything else. It certainly doesn’t demand that much attention, so there’s that.
Got all my Holybread tasks done for the day! 🤩 I pumped some more gold into stats, but still not able to regain my position on the leaderboard.
I want my ten spot back!!! 😡
To be completely honest with you, I don’t think I even logged in to CryptoBrewmaster today. Maybe once in the morning, but I don’t really think so. Thinking again of maybe just withdrawing everything, getting what I can for my time, and leaving this one behind.
I guess the fire under my ass had briefly dimmed, but the clock running out relit it! I played a lot of Splinterlands today! Didn’t hurt that I had like an hour just sitting waiting for the dentist...put it to some “good” use.
I played for a while earlier in the day and got the Fire quest done and then picked it up again later on to complete the new quest and try to get back up to Diamond.
I made it up to Gold I, but held off on playing up to Diamond right away, so I still have a chance to complete the daily quest tomorrow and hopefully not have to actually fight in Diamond.
Had some DEC saved up, so splurged on some quest potions. The first one was an absolute bust! Either laugh or cry time.
The second quest rewards were much better, got a few cards at least:
