Feb. 6, 22: Routine, Grocery Shopping, TV, and Games

[Had a wicked rough night tonight and been up since the wee hours. 😢 Got teaching all day today, so been finishing up with my preparations and trying to get an early enough start on this post to get it done in time to get ready…need to leave a bit early as well and grab some gas before I hit the highway.]

Not too bad as far as timing tonight. Was up fight about five and was out about eight thirty. I was up a bit in the interim, so still ended an hour short, but I didn’t crash out, surprisingly enough.

Got on with the morning routine and was pleased again to see BTC looking strong. 💪 HIVE got a nice pump as well and we were back towards a dollar and a quarter! Of course we’re nowhere near the three dollar highs, but still looking good on the yearly. MATIC is recovering some also, but it doesn’t seem nearly as fast as ETH which means that I’m losing more again in terms of my original investment over there. My risk profile is looking a lot healthier, though, might start looking to borrow a bit more soon. For now, I just let it be.

Spent some time prepping for teaching Calculus tomorrow since I intend to cover some pretty heavy proofs and I wanted to make sure I have them down as much as possible to minimize errors. A particular sticking point was the limit product property because it has quite a few different approaches to take to prove it, none of which are especially straight forward. After digging through several methods, I went with one that is a bit ugly but is more consistent with the way I’m going to do the others. Did a bit of prep work for Algebra as well, but left the rest for tomorrow morning.

After that I got to working on my post. I was a little disappointed that I didn’t break a thousand words, but I came close which is impressive in itself considering I did next to nothing but watch television all day. (Got a mention from HiveBuzz for Power Up Month and the numbers have already quickly fallen off, but for the time being there’s more this time than last. Not sure if that’s really going to be a noteworthy thing since it seems to be on all the time now, but I’m still kinda’ proud of it.) Anyway, got that done, posted, and shared, and then we headed into town to do the grocery shopping.

Wenche drove this time since the back of her car was full of bottles to return. Not too bad, got twelve dollars back! While she did the bottles, I got going with our usual shopping list and then we caught back up right about when I got to the soda isle. We had quite a few coupons and there was quite a bit on sale, but we still busted $150 even with the bottles. 😱 We did get a lot of meat, though, which is a solid chunk of the expense these days; a package of bacon alone is like seven or eight bucks! 😡

Got home, put stuff away, got some lunch, and then my brain pretty much shut down. Wenche did the laundry and we watched Norsemen. I watched it a few weeks ago, but it’s still good and I saw a few scenes that I missed falling asleep. We already blasted through the first two seasons and are solidly into the third. There was a cop comedy show that just came out; probably check that out next.

Started getting ready for bed after playing my Splinterlands quest for the day and still had thirty-five hundred steps left. I moved around and did some marching, but then finished with a little cheating while lying in bed. Wasn’t too long after I finished my steps that I was gone.

I really don’t get it. No crime or crises in my dShitty today, and yet my income fell back down to only four! Seems like I should hope for robberies or something since I seem to get more those days. 🤷

Nothing major going on with Rising Star again, just the usual couple of missions. My Ego was at zero all day, but jumped due to some drunk fans. Only temporary, so not going to bother about it…in fact, it’s been quite a while since I got any, so I guess that was just a kind of unlucky streak I had there a while back.

Went in and played my Splinterlands quest in the evening. Still a little frustrating with the back and forth, but I did make a little progress! 👍

I got Snipe quest again, and while I do have some good snipers, they require pretty high mana battles, so it’s tougher than it seems. Rolled the dice and came up Life splinter instead. Not exactly my strongest, but did okay with it. I came really close to Gold I, but slipped and finished it early. I figured it best to go out on a win, so didn’t keep trying, just left it for the day. Not too bad on the rewards, got some cards with a couple rare:

Vouchers fell even harder, so my patience is starting to look like dragging my feet (shoulda’, coulda’, woulda’), but still didn’t sell any out. Although SPS have risen slightly, packs are still too expensive for my blood, so just staked for today.
