May 11, 21: WordPress Tutorials, DeFi Victory, Oculus, Yard Work, TV, and Games
Up painfully early again this morning...four thirty, but I fell asleep super early last night and so was only half an hour short. I did take a quick nap in the evening, but only like a half hour or so, too short for FitBit to count it, but I’d already been working (or playing a physical game) most of the day, so I don’t feel too bad about it.
Usual morning routine. ETH pushing up to new highs again around $4300. 🤑 Bitcoin still in its sideways zone.
Watched some more YouTube videos on WordPress...trying to pin down how to solve where I’m stuck (calling a custom function). I think I might create a plug-in instead of a child theme and see if that will work or not. Didn’t get any actual work done on the site, though. Been feeling really bad, it’s been a while.
Soooo...it’s taken months and hours of frustration, but I finally had a DeFi breakthrough! 🥳 The reason why I couldn’t get anything to work was because Apple had literally fucking disabled it!
I was searching an obscure error I got thrown in Trust Wallet, got digging into the developer documentation and found this:
I clicked that link (a bit risky, but it was the Trust site itself) and boom! I’m in on sushi and openocean and uniswap and pancake and cubdefi!!! 🤩🥳 The wallet is stable (doesn’t disconnect every time I click something) and I see my (tiny) balances showing up. FINALLY!
Now I have to figure out how to get BNB...and decide whether it’s worth it to pay $12 in transaction fees to stake $6 in CUB. 🤪 Baby steps.
I tried to do a swap on openocean four or five times today, but the gas was at least $48 and at most $126. 😡 Basically locks (and renders useless) a hundred bucks worth of tokens when you’d eat more than that value just to send the damn things. I suppose I’ve waited this long, should just hold out for the fork and pray it fixes the gas issue.
Did some more odds and ends around the house, ran the dishwasher, folded and put away clothes, that sort of stuff...started to drag a little and so busted out the Oculus for a while to get the blood flowing.
Didn’t do too bad, posted a few new high scores, but I still didn’t clear any of the new songs on expert+.
I was quite focused on my goal of having two (more or less) productive days in a row, and the back yard was really looking like a jungle, especially with the super tall dandelions doing their thing, so I figured that was a relatively finite/achievable goal and set out to do it.
I got sprinkled on a few drops, but it held off long enough for me to finish and get the flower bed behind the back porch mostly weeded out. 👍😁
Wenche made yummy steak fajitas for dinner and we watched some of the stupid nun show for lack of anything better to watch at the moment. Ended up getting to bed fairly late...after ten or so, probably going to pay for that.
What can I say? 97% taxes make dShitty shitty.
If this game is so “mathematical,” what’s the probability that I’m going to rage quit in the near future? (Equal to the taxes 😜)
Well, got my tasks done on Holybread today, but I discovered why I’m struggling so hard in the arena: the potions don’t fu$&ing do anything! I logged out and back in to see if that would change anything, but no. 🤬 I have exactly the same life in battle as my hero shows (so no 25% boost)...wait, maybe the hero screen is taking the boost into account? 🤷
I continue to slip and can’t get it back...repeatedly losing to people I should be able to beat without a problem (from past experience). 🤬
Now that I think about it, I don’t think I even looked at CryptoBrewmaster today. 🤔 Oh well, no big loss.
I’ve been on a definite kick playing Splinterlands every day this season, but today? I stared at the screen, almost pressed the “battle” button, and then said “screw that.”
A couple of games went through for the guild brawl, but whatever. No rewards and no progress today, but also no swearing (at least at that 😛).
Got my stats for the last week. Red flags everywhere that matters. 😢 I guess my sleep was fairly consistent week to week, just wish it was an hour more on average.
