June 7, 21: New FitBit, Errands, Oculus, Laps, TV, and Games

almost 3 years ago (Edited)

Well, it’s wicked hacky and I don’t like it, but I was finally able to export my dashboard by going in and manually setting the phone’s date back a day. Stupid, but at least I figured out a workaround!

Was rudely awakened at four this morning; no, not by the cat this time, but by my FotBit having a fricking meltdown and turning “do not disturb” mode on and off over and over and blinking and vibrating every time. 😡 It only took one day from the first sign of trouble to complete self-destruct mode.

So, spent most of the morning trying to make a final decision about a replacement. Although I have had some troubles with FitBit, between the price, being on sale, and being the “devil you know,” I went for a Versa 3.

Switching devices wiped my steps and everything for the day, but I had 4,107 before the switch and my count was actually 15,058 for the day. Let the record show! 😝

I had to go into town anyway, so I took care of a couple errands as well. Hit the smoke store and the puffity-puff store on the way home. Been really working on trying to be conscious of how much I’m smoking and (not quitting) trying to cut back.

Grabbed some lunch quick and unboxed my new toy. 🥳

Spent quite a bit of time, of course, getting things setup and trying to find a clock face I liked and giving all the apps permissions and blahdy blahdy.

Played a few rounds of Beat Saber, but it was acting super weird and the tracking didn’t want to behave either with recognizing the room and getting me in or tracking the controllers when I finally got in. Was worth a few steps, though, and FitBit recognized it as cardio. 😀

Otherwise, just dinked around over on Discord, grabbed some soup for dinner, and then paced laps for quite a while to make up the four thousand steps that I got ripped off from switching devices. It did keep the streak alive, though, was worried that might get reset.

Wenche ended up working about an hour past her time, but once she got done we watched a little tube and then hit the hay. All-in-all a pretty productive day - no napping at least. 😂

I spend more time complaining about dShitty than I ever have playing it. 😝🤣 Again, at least the SIM income is something greater than zero.

Only got one win in the arena today, so didn’t complete my tasks on Holybread, seems to be the new normal, but not unexpected since I quit hemorrhaging bread to renew potions.

I continue to be amazed that I’ve been able to hold my position relatively well, but one vote in several weeks doesn’t really make it too worthwhile.

Can’t really recall bothering with CryptoBrewmaster today. I think I got one ingredient in the morning, but that was it.

I’ve only just started with it, and it’s still a bit frustrating in terms of having to log in twice basically every time I go in to do a quest, but I’ve started my rockstar journey on Rising Star! (New referral link below 😃)

Even so, it seems pretty cool so far and it’s possible to deposit into VFTlab (which made me try it again). It is a blockchain games I’m spending time with, so I suppose it gets a section too. 🤩

I’m a long way from being able to start doing withdrawal or anything, but considering maybe throwing a few HIVE into it to get going, we’ll see.

Played a bit of Splinterlands today.

Not too bad, kinda’ hovering back and forth still, but not worse off than when I started, I suppose.

I had Water splinter for my daily quest today and got it done still back in Gold. Rewards were ok, got a rare:

Haven’t dumped out any of my DEC lately, though. Picked up a few more of those white ones (I can’t remember or be bothered to look it up) with opportunity. Only ten more left to go to hit level six, but they seem to be drying up, or at least getting more expensive…the ones I got yesterday were $.031 but they were $.041 today.

Got my stats for the last week. Lots of green arrows this week and a nice #DoubleDay showing in there. 💪 My sleep has been rough, but seems to be improving slightly and it doesn’t hurt that we’ve been getting some weather conducive to exercising and working outside.
