Jan. 9, 23: Routine, School Prep,TV, and Games

[Woah, boy! Today is the start of the semester and I'm going to be teaching Tuesday and Thursday mornings starting at eight thirty, so I'm going to have to figure out a better pattern for doing my posts those days...up early this morning (woke up and realized I needed to do my post), so going to try and get it done before class, but getting up at five to do it isn't the best thing. Maybe I can get the skeleton done the day before. 🤔]

Got the results of the weekly step challenge for last week. I crushed the seventy thousand step goal, no problem, and I was in the lead for a day there, but ended up third. Still, not bad. 💪

Got to sleep a bit late last night, right around ten and (surprisingly) only woke up for a minute or two from the snoring, but she stopped long enough for me to fall back to sleep and I made it until about five thirty, but I did end up about a half an hour short of my eight hours goal.

Got on with the usual morning routine. I did do a little more in-depth token shifting, but there's still some SOL sales I haven't taken care of. 😫 Just so busy at the moment...

I guess one thing to note is that we got a new next-door neighbor in the rental that's been vacant for some time. Normally that wouldn't be notable at all except this guy (and his girl) both have tiny penis trucks. That, in and of itself, is just pitiable but the arseholes have literal amplifiers on their goddamn exhaust pipes and they shake the whole house every time they pull in or out. [Sitting here listening to it rumble as we speak] 🤬🤬

On the other hand, was happy to find some greens in the crypto markets, and not just fractions, nearly ten percent on a couple! I'm not holding my breath for a turnaround, though, thinking it's more likely a bull trap.

Got to work on my post and got it done and published on time and then there was really only one goal for today: finish getting ready for the semester start tomorrow.

Of course, I always underestimate the amount of work/time it will take and I literally spent the rest of the morning and all the way until just before four getting it all done (even with Calculus II mostly done yesterday)!

I still never heard a word from the lead faculty for Calculus I, but I added verbiage about doing the final on paper anyway and cleaned up the syllabus a little. The major work, really, was working out the calendar/pacing and converting it from the last edit (ten week semester) back to a fifteen week schedule.

Got the Blackboard gradebooks edited with the proper due dates and got WebAssign set, uploaded the new syllabi and calendars, and made the sites available (unfortunately, they were automatically made available earlier in the morning and I had a bunch of confused emails since all the announcements were old 😡).

I primed the chalkboard as well getting it set, rubbed it down with a layer of chalk and wiped it off...there's still a couple visual defects, but it's not bad and it's certainly much better than it was!! 😁

When I finished up and was satisfied that I was more or less ready for tomorrow, I was very tempted to bust out the Quest since I had about an hour and a half before Wenche was set to get home. I putzed around online for a bit, though, trying to figure out an Excel formula to calculate my seven day average so that I don't have to keep setting back the date every morning (finally realized all I need to do is select the last seven entries in the column and it automatically gives me the average 😁, that will make things super easy), and then just decided to start making dinner instead.

I made us pasta and meat sauce for dinner and we watched Trolls (I think she'd watched it before, but it was still alright). After that we put on Arrested Development (I've watched all of Letterkenny now 😢) until bedtime.

Oh, yeah, I decided to go in and change the daily step goal from the automatic goal I had to a solid ten thousand. I didn't mind the harder goal, and I've been achieving it, but I was already up to like 11,600 and I could see a day when I got ten thousand steps but didn't get the goal and then my numbers would have been seriously screwed up. Now, the goal streak is a ten thousand steps streak as well, so even though its a lesser goal, I'm not going to get stuck with that weird dilemma. 👍

[Kinda' thought today's post might be a bit tough to get done properly since I really just worked on schoolwork for the vast majority of the day, and that's proving true, but I still have a couple hours before class, so we'll see...Not too bad, got my word count at least and still an hour before class starts. Even so, got to make a better plan than hoping for getting up early to get it done. The other annoying thing is that scheduled posts don't show up as recently published drafts, so I'm going to have to clone the day before and be careful with the dates every other day...put in a request for them to fix that a long time ago and it was supposed to be on the list, but it seems to have been forgotten.]

I guess, at this point, dShitty paying out anything is the exception to the rule...a play-to-earn game from which you earn nothing for playing, sounds like a blast; where's my checkbook?!

I ran a lesson on Rising Star today and got my Ego back down to zero, properly zero as well since the drunks expired too. Now it's back to missions until we rinse and repeat.

We started moving in the right direction here as far as my Splinterlands rental income goes, all the way up to a whopping dollar forty for today.😛 Still, that is fifty cents better than two days ago.

Been keeping an eye on the DEC market to swap out what I pulled out the other day (and I want to get ready for PPUD coming up in a few days), but I still haven't sold them yet since they were down a percent or two.

Claimed my SPS interest, as usual, paid the fee and then staked up the rest.

HK:
I gots me a couple BUDS, wutofit?

GLX:
Did my normal claim and stake for Genesis League. I still have no idea why or what the point of staking these tokens is in the first place, but as long as there's some dollar value attached to them, I guess it doesn't really matter.

WOO:

I guess it's because I claimed earlier this morning, but my stake rewards took a bit of a hit today. Didn't get any mining rewards or airdrops either.
