But I'm back!
I never really disappeared from the chain, I was in the Splinterlands side of things (SHOUT OUT to my guildies 🐼 @minismallholding @buggedout @kiokizz @blingit @ctrpch) and still floated around Discord, but posting was just too time consuming to continue with a little toddler floating around.
Said Toddler has now progressed to Little Girl status and we are now Home Schooling - hence the come back.
Blogging was always a way for me to release and document my journey, and I really feel the need to record this new phase in our lives.
I'm finding home schooling to be both so rewarding and so challenging. Rewarding in the sense that you witness growth and achievements every step of the way. You can see the results of all the hard work you both put into it and know it's all worth it - but it's not until you see the light :D It's a challenge until you get there.
I want to be able to read back and go.. See!! Remember that time you were teaching Blends and Digraphs and almost went bald? Worth it in the end!!
BUT... Before I blog away, is there anything important that I need to know? Major changes to the blockchain since 2022?
I only recently found out Witness Votes reset every year. Apparently this has been going on for a while :D Apologies guys! I thought I could leave it and that was it. Probably a good thing since I don't know who does what anymore and Id like to vote accordingly.
Is Hive Power UP day still a thing?
Fill me in! What did I miss?
❤️🐼
Always great to see OGs like your fine self :)
@ctrpch is running a witness node; also a SPS validator node. https://splinterstats.net/validators.html
Thanks Matt ❤️
Ohhh what?!! He's got a Validator Node too? @ctrpch SAY SOMETHING!! You're so damn low key.
Validator node vote weight is based on staked SPS? Need to know before I convert more SPS to HP 😅
I could a better job promoting stuff I do for sure
Hell yeh you could!!
Yes, the more staked SPS you have, the more your vote is worth for the 10 validators you're supporting.
Ok! I'll keep a bit in then :D
Welcome back to the blog Bear!
Thanks Bugg! Its been a long time that's for sure!
Same here, I have recently lifted my posting game a bit, after about 5 years of saying that i am going too. rocking the Drop Bears!!!
Good for you! and me.. cos I got you on the auto the other day, so bring on some curation rewards!! :D
Also, been meaning to say, good to have you in the guild. Felt like you were a missing piece <3
HELLO OLD FRIEND
HOLOOO!!!! Man! How have you guys been?! Its been forever. Ask anyone, every time your name pops up I always say, wish I sold SPL when Holo did! 😆
Very good. Sold old house, got new house. Sold old car, got new car. Seen a lot of live music. Got made redundant - never been happier. Looking for new work at the moment - but spending my days by going to the gym and writing too much content on hive.
haha sounds like you're living the good life! Good for you! Is there such thing as writing too much content on hive though? :D
Probably, yes :)
What about in your corner of the world?
Im actually resisting the urge to over blog. I have so many things to write about!
Its been good! Busy, good and cold pretty much sums it up.
Homeschooling is taking up a lot. Tried smart phone astrophotography, relaunched my business, now it's on hiatus again due to the weather and homeschooling 🤣 ohh and Im learning Chinese. Im on a 26 day streak atm 💪
I have a list of stuff that is unwritten!
Edited out the photo I took because it appeared as a white square for some reason... but believe me, there's a list!
Hellooooooooo! So nice to “see” you!
Hive is in a lull. That is all I know. 😂😂
But welcome back to the blogging bit.
Hey Girl!!! Haha good to see you too! I swear being back is like coming home to see your people 🥰 I hope life's been good to you.
Thank you! Good to be back, now I need to resist the urge to spam everyone's feed 🤣
