Firstly, like in my last post, the picture in my thumbnail isn't our current packing process. Canva now has a nifty AI image generator (called Magic Media) that I used to create the image(s). I combined an AI image of "red clock" and "moving exhausted" for that spiffy little pic. I felt the weird number of limbs and eyes really captured how the three of us (hubby, son, and myself as our two girls are now fully moved out) are doing at the moment. 😂

   First, my big question to my US Hive friends - how do you turn your liquid $HIVE/$HBD into dollars? I used to have a BinanceUS account, but ditched it ages ago when they did that shady thing (which of course, now I can't remember the specifics of...lol), and didn't worry about it since they didn't even list Hive. I did get a suggestion on Discord (from the lovely @justclickindiva) that I might be able to use Coinbase (not sure if I have an account there yet/still) to sell BTC for cash (once I convert my Hive to BTC), and I'm going to check that out in a bit. But while I'm still trying to figure this out, any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

   Hey all,I know it's been a minute since my last post. While there's not one single big event that kept me away, many little bits of situations kept me busy while wearing away at my mental health more than I realized over the months, as I stepped away from so. many. things.

   Ugh. So, just as I thought all the unexpected hiccups had been given the boot, I found a reply to my unofficial results post that proved otherwise. In his comment, Power Up Day participant @intishar pointed out a possible miscalculation, and after taking a peek, I decided there was enough of a possibility to hold off until @arcange has a chance to review the data.

   I hope everyone has been having a wonderful start to this new year! I've been busy keeping my fingers crossed that the snow storms (one happening right now, and another on the way in a few days) will pause long enough for my husband's upcoming shoulder surgery. While I shouldn't complain since this is the first real stretch of winter weather we've had so far, I can't help but whine a little about the timing! 😜

   Firstly, Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉🥂✨🎇Nextly (yes, I was being silly, but that's actually a word), I'm still in the process of getting caught up with the past few months of HivePUD prize distribution but planning to get it done soon. Things went a bit extra sideways in early November when my husband hurt his shoulder at work - he's been home ever since, and his surgery is now scheduled for the second week of January. I'd say hopefully things will get back to normal not too long after that, but I'm not even sure I know what normal is anymore. 😂
