Diary - Jan 18 to Jan 24 2025

Sat Jan 18 2025

Sleep 0500 to 1330 (8-1/2 hours)

  • Oops. Missed out on the Night’s Black Agents bundle. Guess I calculated ending date wrong. It’s because they never have the ending date, just the time remaining. Not like I really needed it anyway.
  • Kansas City defeats Houston as expected. Washington upsets Detroit. Detroit had lots of turnovers but were only like 10 points behind at the half. Then more turnovers and they couldn’t close the gap.
  • DDO with Dave S and Dave W. Did the last two Sands of Menechtarun walkups then the first two Attack on Stormreach. Had a bit of trouble with the latter two at R5 then R4. Used two spirit cakes.

Sun Jan 19 2025

Sleep 0900 to 1500 (6 hours)

  • After gaming I was up a few hours and then waited another 1-1/2 hours for the 0900 STFC daily events.
  • With the second half of my property tax due at the end of the month I’ll be fairly close to running out of cash. Most likely need to sell stock of which it’s almost all Oracle stock that I can sell like normal, everything else being 401K or Roth IRA. After they missed their target last quarter the stock went back down so I can gamble and see if they make their target this quarter.

Mon Jan 20 2025

Sleep 0815 to 1445 (6-1/2 hours)

  • Second night going to sleep way late. This time I was trying to get to sleep earlier but couldn’t make myself sleep.
  • Martin Luther King holiday. Also Presidential Inauguration.

Sleep 0015 to 0545, 1300 to 1400 (6 hours)

  • Last night when I got tired about 2200 still took me a couple of hours to get to bed and sleep.
  • A bit surprising how much memory VLC uses (almost 1 GB) even though it’s idle.
  • Got a haircut at All Star Barber Shop. Today I wasn’t in the mood to eat out afterwards and I forgot to bring a bag so didn’t stop my the Spanish market.

Wed Jan 22 2025

Sleep 0130 to 1030 (9 hours)

  • Dinner at C3. Deliver from Thai Charm.
  • Christopher and I started playing on DDO Cormyr server. This is their first 64-bit server and for now (maybe for always) is VIP only, but from today until mid April it’s free for all. So a good way to get 1000 favor bonuses.

Thu Jan 23 2025

Sleep 0145 to 0945 (8 hours)

  • Spent the day prepping for HOA meeting. The meeting went well.

Fri Jan 24 2025

Sleep 0330 to 0830, 1515 to 1745 (7-1/2 hours)

  • Got a bit of prep for D&D.
  • We played about an hour of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands but we’re kind of tired so ended early. Dave W was late and we ended before he showed up.
