Here we are in April and the reports were right when they said it would turn frosty again as it's been very cold for a while or in other words winter returned. But at least its staying lighter for longer, today was slightly different while still cold in the morning the sun was out for most of the rest and warmed up if you were under the sun enough. Since my return to work I have not seen the lady who's workload I had to cover, at first I thought it was because there was a death within her family but seems this is not the case "this happened to another colleague" but rather her daughter got into some kind of serious trouble and I don't know more than that but I can't think of what it could be for her to be away for so long? People have also began to ask questions on her where abouts. I have been working mostly shifts that are around the middle of the day I thought that after Easter they would return to being more volatile but so far not the case yet, but admit and been telling others I have enjoyed it more this way. One of our superiors as now left I was hoping to avoid the day of her leaving as all I can really say is good riddance because she turned out to be a very bitchy person, truth is she was a nice person "well I think" it's just our boss got to her and so turning her nasty. Most colleagues have mention to me how relieved they are that she as left. Seems I was right as at least for now it will be another colleague stepping up to cover her who is a individual that I have got on well with since she started. Thing is in that place I have seen it all too often as power gets to people and so we will see how she goes. Day 7 of the lockdown opening, pubs also opened and seem to be causing chaos with government warning businesses to keep control of people who are not social distancing or face hefty fines. For me it was to no surprise this weekend ended up being a busy one as it's considered the first weekend "partly" out of lockdown. There was also trouble in the city where a mass of people were again outside yet another store in large groups queuing or hanging out to the point the police force were called to investigate. Apparently there was also news that since being shut many places have a new rat infestation to deal with as the pest control companies are over the moon with all the extra business. Today it was back at work and luckily like I said I didn't have to deal with the farewells of my superior who must of left yesterday, my boss wasn't in either so it was a chill day for me on my side. After work I still had time and enough sun shine to make it worth going the long way home which I did, I was very surprised to how peaceful it was this afternoon at one point it was so quiet you couldn't ear a thing, a little scary but also very nice. With this lockdown regardless of still working during it I noticed some personal weigh gain, and so I have continued to try and shed some of the weight off with small daily workouts. I will continue to do so until either work get's too hectic again or when everything opens up, which is unfortunately around the same time of both those things. But was pleased that on April 11 I finally noticed some of the weight shifting, still there is a long way to go but happy to see at least some results as I had started like over a month ago. I had missed a whole bunch of days like 6 at one point but have now managed 8 in a row, I feel I should have a rest day which again I was going to do today but I guess I kind of did as I'm not even sure if what I done today would count, still at least I put in some effort as I wanted to try and keep it consistent. With part 2 of the new curtains received I checked over the ones in the bathroom too and think those I will replace I just need the time to get around to measuring them.

As for Tron I started by learned some of the basics, then I looked into "Tron Stacking" and done a few votes with my frozen Tron and after a few days I went back to check on the votes. I noticed that I had successfully earned a little Tron, well a whole $0.01 lol. I tried again and made $0.04 worth of Tron, I recently checked and made another $0.04 which I honestly expected more, but I think I got the little extra because of the price going up. But still even with that I'm curious of it's potential and so will see if I can get hold of more Tron so that I can upvote again and see if I can increase my Tron earnings. There were some issues with receiving Tron tokens to the wallet which I wrote about here TRON CLAIM ISSUE but it seems the issue at least for claiming Tron as been fixed Community Notice TRX Rewards also the Team recommend waiting if your still missing Tron tokens as it's in the backlog process to be given out.

But for the moment I will watch Steem as it's been going in the upward direction, even shockingly seen at $1.30+. Perhaps we wont see Steem fall back to $0.16 this year and so could this mean time is running out for the gathering of cheap Steem? Many thought Steem would hit $1.00 by June but actually on March 30th we hit $1.00 already, we experienced a fall, but there as been good recovery and so beating our record again for the year. Also the Steemit Crypto Academy as really gained some momentum after their break marking homework and the search for more professors but many people have continued joining in for their weekly updates and doing all the "homework tasks". Did you know you are actually allowed to follow as many of the courses as you want? Which you could be rewarded for by taking part in with upvotes from the steemcurator01 or steemcurator02 accounts. You can go here Steemit Crypto Academy, to learn who are the new professors and some of the new rules, as the Academy is basically one of the most educative programs running on Steemit with professors on different topics within the cryptoverse.

💚We saw recently this April STEEM almost reached $1.45 but unfortunately even with these insane 💰$60000 Bitcoin prices STEEM as continued to not move much, which is a shame as people should be investing into this great coin as you can do so much more with it. But when was the last time you saw Steem at $1.00!? Well it was the downfall back in Sept 2018, yup that's a long time to wait to see these heights again. Steem had been mostly holding around the $1.00 mark or around just above $1.00. The lowest Steem price this year as been $0.15 and the highest $1.43 which broke this years record on April 11th, the previous record for the year was on April 2th at $1.38! It would be nice to see if this year Steem can atleast hold above $0.17 for most of 2021. Still this brings opportunity as it's a good price to "power-up" your account, I don't say this as a way to improve your financial situation but rather to enjoy the benefits of having Steem, like speeding up your account's Steem accumulation or how much Tron you gain plus other general tasks within the blockchain etc.

🏅 We reached "🐬TRIPLE DOLPHIN🐬" in November last year which means our collective STEEM POWER is now over 💪15000 SP!! There are around 616 Triple Dolphin accounts, and if you add all those up "it's ALOT of Steem Power" like nearly 10mil, you going to join us or what? We will of course continue to collect and lock-up even more STEEM! My goal 🌍 now is to reach 20.000 SP🏆, hopefully by June 2021. It's beginning to get tight but I do think it can be done now if we continue at this pace and get a few more whale upvotes in these coming weeks, thing's have slowed down in April, we are still doing well so lets keep going as best we can as we are now into the last final half of the big stretch into reaching the 20k goal. And so I want to thank everybody who does vote in, and for their kind support. I have now been on here for over 4 years and have never powered down✔️ not once!! 🚫, I also continue to invest into STEEM in small quantities✔️, your votes can help with this also, but essentially all of this means that your votes are safe with me and help to retain STEEM's value, since now being a "Top 350 Steem-Power Holder" it's beginning to count, your votes may even help make it go higher in the future with plans for purchasing more STEEM. We totalled 7.841 SP at the end of 2019 and reached 15.000 on November 24th and so if you want to help me on this quest "locking away 20.000 Steem Power" with the intention to support and retain more of it's value 👉 then please consider leaving your best vote below.

✺ The covid19 madness continues with us slowly coming out of lockdown 3 as the government continues with it's roadmap of 5 week gaps between opening up sectors, lots of shops have now re-opened and with no surprise tons of people queuing-up outside to get in. Many places mentioned the influx of orders to pick-up from the pre-day of the gran opening, rather stupid really as people have been buying things normally for months. The government often states that we are doing well listening to their rules for staying indoors but for months I have seen people out everywhere, insane traffic and crowds, it made headlines in the papers many times to which I wondered if this would affect when we are to open FULLY in June but apparently not🤷‍♂️. The government said that after this there will be no more lockdowns and that we must treat the covid like a common flu, doesn't surprise me as people who have had it "who I know personally" said it was like having the flu. But yet the mass vaccination process must continue.. it's said those who are 40 will be getting their jabs done. The government wants to give employers powers to sack staff who refuse to be vaccinated, which I don't see how that is giving people a choice..🤷‍♂️? The most effective vaccine was said to be around %95 effective but it's also been reported to be far less and I have seen the government often state that they "even after all this testing" don't know exactly how effective it is against the virus. ✺ The Oxford vaccine was paused in many countries as it may have been causing blood clots. There are also more reports of people going to to hospital having problems with the side effects. But yet they keep pushing for people to take it and we might also have to take many more jabs for all the different variants and a yearly one also. If you were one of the first to get vaccinated I counted 5 jabs all together would be taken. How will our bodies react to so much of this stuff being pumped into us I wonder? These companies are rolling in our money👍. Remember they firstly said this was a "cure" but then said it would protect you for up to 9 months, later it was only for 5 months.. they simply don't know. Scientists have told us even with the vaccine you can still catch covid and you can still pass it on to others. I have been told by friends who's parents have had their jabs that even the nurses will tell you while vaccinating you that this doesn't mean your fully protected. We simply don't know that much about the jab, it did seem very rushed and why aren't we doing this for all the other thing's that are killing even more people? Did anybody catch the death count graph for covid? It showed us which age groups are dying the most from covid, well shocker but its those who are over 70, as for all other age groups the death count is V.low. I also saw another graph that for once showed us the number of people who recovered from covid. It indicated there is mostly a %97 chance of survival in most places, and as for the deaths if you took the number of people who normally die from other things, the covid numbers are strangely similar to those, and so I guess it could be possible that they are replacing the cause of death from other things to covid. The vaccine minister wanted people to take the vaccine or get shut out from society, meaning you wouldn't be able to buy food, attend a school, watch movies at the cinema or travel anywhere, to which I then don't see how exactly this would be giving the public a choice?🤷‍♂️ He changed his mind about that statement but basically news came out in April that they were going ahead with this plan. But because of the severe backlash from the idea it might be a temporary plan and only to be used at bigger events. So perhaps still in the pipeworks as Mr Bill Gates is said to be working on the technological system for a vaccination type passport, plus Gates continues to warn us that the next pandemic 😈 is going to be far worse? There was news that from June after opening that any clothing stores would require you to have a covid green pass to enter. ✺ I have worked all during this crisis as our company used a loophole within the system to keep us all working despite our government stating that all non-essential work places must shut-down, it was either work or be fired kind of attitude. The food 🍔🍒 shortage problems seems better now but not sure if it's safe yet to let our guard down.✺ I also noticed other things were becoming difficult to obtain, like ovens, microwaves, printers, laptops, gaming accessories, and I'm sure there are other things, but while it's got a little better lately it will hopefully be corrected once lockdown rules continue to ease, if that ever happens.

Always do your own due diligence the above is only a opinion.
