Oct. 12, 20: Routine, Posting, Xbox, Napping, MSP, and Games

over 3 years ago

Woah, boy! Today just absolutely vanished into the ether. 😢 Up before four again and it seems that my sleep cycle has shifted...falling asleep before the wife gets off work and then being up all not, we’ll never see eachother, so I actually set the “goal” to get a good nap in and try to stay up later.

Did all the usual stuff in the morning. BTC popping a little bit again, but still very low volumes. I have the feeling that I’m never going to sell out again between the trade fees and the capital gains tax, end up paying as much as I’d make. 😡

Still thinking a lot about the code I’m working on and discovered a new (future) snag that I wouldn’t have been aware of and would have broken it on launch. I don’t need to fix it immediately, but will need to before it goes live...also means that there’s a couple things I shouldn’t change at the moment, so that’s good too.

Still, thinking about code isn’t getting any coding done...need to sit down and focus again.

Got my post done for the day and staked up my HE tokens. Had some liquid sitting over there, so decided to invest for the long haul and got some SPI. 🤑 Seems the payout is once a week, so I’ll have to wait to see what the ROI is like later.

I played some Portal Knights on the Xbox. Still stuck trying to find the same dude I was the other day, so I ended up just warping to the next world for now. Did a couple of the tasks there, but no cheevos today. Finally found some iron ore, though, and was able to upgrade my workbench and get some more recipes as well. 👍

It wasn’t long playing before I started to lose focus and drag. Figured I’d better give in to it while it lasted, so I laid down for what was meant to be an hour or two. Ended up sleeping for four hours! And bam that kills the whole evening!

Once I got up again, it was already late and I realized I hadn’t eaten anything, so I snagged some cereal real quick. Was disappointed to find that (no surprise) I’d missed like three hours of my moving goal for the day and still had a good five thousand steps or more to hit my daily goal! 😱

I fired up the Fitbit and did some laps around the house. Tuned into the Clown’s show over on MSP Waves for a while. Mainly discussing the government responses to the Covaids and how much bullpucky it all is to so readily give up our individual Liberty.

Kept the ten thousand steps per day streak alive, though, so that’s at least something! Over two hundred days now! 🤩

Stayed awake for a little bit after I got done and watched an episode or two of some chick in France, a drama thing the wife is watching.

She turned it off and got ready for bed and we actually went to bed at about the same time tonight, so hopefully that will reset things a little and I can get back to a reasonable sleep schedule.

I suppose it’s bound to happen some of the time, but even though my crime rate was slightly down, my Bank got robbed anyway. 😭 That pretty much killed the SIM in one for the day. Ah, well.

Didn’t have too much trouble getting my Holybread tasks done. 😀 Should have plenty enough gold now for potions and repairs with a full day left to go.

Got a couple lucky matchups and was able to fight my way back up into the top ten!!! 🥳 Teetering on the precipice there, so not expecting that to last long.

Still not got all the ingredients I need to start a CryptoBrewmaster brew. I did one or two of the free ones that were available, but kinda’ lost motivation to mess with it at this point.

Really getting tight on time now. I resolved to play yesterday and then went to hit the button, thought “later,” and then ended up just leaving the browser window open the whole day.

Playing on the last day always sucks, so tomorrow’s basically it, I guess.

Got my stats for the last week. Got some more green arrows this time, which is good, but compared to the past couple weeks it still isn’t saying much...under a hundred thousand steps for the week. 😔
