Week Chit-Chat - 8-11-24

Finally, I have more time for myself and it's more relaxed. The youngest is back home and the couches arrived. We can sit but in most cases, the couch is empty (how can that be?) but it looks neater and like I told my friend he can sit where he likes and watch me.

No #wewrite part 2 and I also didn't start with it or the contest out-of-the-box in the freewriters again. Right now I have more urgent things to do and my attention is needed elsewhere. Just like before I hardly (limited) my participation if it comes to contests but who mentions me I try to visit, read and leave a comment behind.

I am trying to find a way to invest in Steem but so far it is impossible so my only option left (if I can't find a way in the next days) is to use another platform to exchange. This still doesn't solve my problem that I have Steem which I can't transfer to Steemit because they do not accept the screenshot of the Steemit wallet as proof I am the owner. Kind of strange since a screenshot of some numbers isn't any proof either. The biggest annoyment is that I read more than once they have Steem but after signing up and going through all the ID verifications (no way it's done within 5 minutes by now it's closer to 5 weeks) it turns out that there's no option to buy/invest in Steem and if at all I cannot transfer it. So the Steem I have is useless. @pousinha if you have a tip please let me know, thank you (btw Binance is forbidden but even if I can still not use the wallet address and VPN is noticed.).

It's only one month before the celebrations start and the gifts are not bought yet. It feels as if no one is in the mood or has a wishlist. It will be hard to have it ready in time. It will be small celebration with the youngest first who will leave and celebrate with their siblings (I will babysit the wolves and sick cat, indeed he's still alive but it's going downhill again).

Today is the first day of the year that I made a fire. The house is cold since weeks, if not months so it is necessary to heat it once in a while. Hopefully, there's no need to next week (I'm still waiting for the rise of the temp on earth which isn't high at all since we talk about an average of 0.5 degrees Celsius which is only a computer calculation based on assumptions (Do you remember that Times Edition not too long ago where the Ice Age was predicted?). It feels as if the Dutch expression: Het kan dooien het kan vriezen fits great here.

There was no chit-chat last week so I will look for a longer song to share.
I wish you all a great weekend, good health and fortune (mind first, next money we are in the middle of a bull run and who knows what Trump will create, the end of all those wars would be a good start.).
