June 16, 21: Routine, Bit o’ DeFi, Oculus, TV, and Games

Have to be honest, I definitely paid today for running a ten K yesterday. 🤕 I kinda’ knew I was pushing it, but the sense of setting a goal and achieving it was worth it. I wasn’t in much condition to do any real exercise today, but I moved around enough (or hobbled as the case may be) to keep my ten thousand steps streak alive. 👍

Sleep has actually been a little better lately, not crashed out in the afternoons and been able to stay awake until adult bedtime. Last night was pretty late, though, we’ll past eleven and I ended up two full hours short. Going to try and stay active, but we’ll see how that goes. I probably have caffeine and energy drinks to thank for making it through the day.

Got on with the morning routine and was a bit unhappy to see that the crypto markets decided to reverse…very reds, much sad. I took the opportunity, though, to snatch up some more FIRE and stake it up at a discounted price…I still don’t quite feel completely comfortable with what I’m doing, feel like I could get stuck holding the bag at some point. Thinking I should maybe try and pull some out, but it will take a while to get back what I’ve put in. (Not to mention the tax headache).

Been trying to go back in and properly record all the swaps and everything…I have a strong feeling that I’m losing a lot of value when I swap into the LP tokens, but I don’t really have a way to gauge that other than divesting and seeing how much I might have lost. 😡🤔

Spent an inordinate amount of time shifting and staking H-E tokens and staring at my FIRE interest. Kind of stuck getting motivated to work on the website, but I folded and put away all the laundry that was piled on the table, so at least now I don’t have an excuse not to fire up the computer.

Did my post and there’s another hour down and the morning is gone, whoosh, and I have little to show but some dishes and laundry not laying around. Figured I might try something different and start reading the new philosophy book I got: Camu’s The Myth of Sisyphus. Read the introduction and realized that his thesis is that human existence is absurd…not sure that’s going to help with my angst. 🥺😨 Perhaps, in wrestling with his thoughts, I might persuade myself to the contrary that being me isn’t meaningless…

Put the book down fairly fast (dropped it like it was hot) and turned to my old friend Oculus. Cranked a bunch of new Beat Saber high scores and worked up a serious sweat. Grabbed a shower and then Wenche made an omelette for dinner.

In the evening we watched the rest of Manifest…binged two seasons of that right quick! Hopefully the third season will come out on Netflix, but for now it’s back to the search for what to watch.

As seems to be the new usual, I can’t stand just sitting and watching TV, have to try to earn moar crypto somehow…so I played some Splinterlands.

This is how the Trample ruleset is supposed to go! Check out this first round Splinterlands victory!!! 🤣💪

First Round Ass Kickery

Well, I suppose it’s simply more hassle to dump out of dShitty than it is to complain about it every day. I do, for some inexplicable reason, have an ember of hope that someday it won’t suck so bad, but it’s like the dim light of the last white dwarf at the heat death of the universe.

Abachon, oh Abachon, where art thou Abachon? No go on the Holybread tasks today, well, at least the arena wins; got the other ones done.

Is it just force of habit that keeps me playing this at this point? I really don’t know.

I think I have a brew set to collect over on CryptoBrewmaster, but I haven’t been bothered to go in and claim it.

Went on a little bit of a Rising Star shopping spree today. I more than doubled my collection! 🎸 Just trying to focus on getting more unique cards to hopefully get higher in the ranks and participate in the daily rewards.

Getting closer to unlocking the ego bar, but I still don’t know how to unlock more band members; hoping that will open at level fifteen as well, but dunno.

Played quite a lot of Splinterlands today.

Was a little frustrating going back and forth, but I did make some progress toward the next tier (so better than yesterday).

Strictly speaking I should quit today. I got my quest done, which was three wins without neutral, and didn’t get a single card or enough DEC to buy one:
