Savings vs Crypto

Boring savings is more than a nose ahead today.  Dana's monthly SS payment came in and per the plan I moved $500 to our 4.3% Paypal Saving account.  That account is our emergency money and the object is to keep it growing.  So far so good.

Meanwhile, exciting Crypto is just funny money.  Ethereum bought with Prolific dollars, all $200 of them so far.  I don't have a clue about the crypto market and so far have lost about $6 since 24 May when I bought in after, of course, the most recent big run up.  Looking at a long term smoothed chart it should be OK as long term interest.  I'll likely keep adding Prolific money.  I'm over halfway to earning my next $200 chunk.  

For the moment I'm happy and grateful that we're in good shape and I can afford to not worry so much about the price of eggs and butter.  Our needs are still less than our resources.  It does allow me to breathe.

But when crypto takes off........... 

I'm going to sit a lot tomorrow

Taking Zoe and Toby around the block yesterday kept me up last night.  I woke around 2:30 as my knee was hurting.  My hip is apparently connected to my knee.  There is some kind of limerick about that.  My knee is not amused.  My gait is so off kilter that the knee takes the brunt of dislocation.  So it keeps me up when I've overdone.

I got up and listened more to my book and ate a bowl of cereal.  Got an ice pack and wrapped the knee and went back to bed.  Of those things it was the ice pack that was the fix.

There is just so little I can do now.  You'd think I would enjoy that but, of course, if I can't move it is all I want to do.

9 more days

I've got the Ranch tomorrow but they understand I'm marginal.  There are a bunch of dogs that are no problem at all to walk and really don't need to go far.  They will be my buddies.  Down to the off leash area and back.  And lots of ice when I get home.

I'll feel better doing something even if it is not a lot.

And the dogs don't much care.  They're just there for the treats.  Unfortunately two others who normally walk the dogs with me are out of town.  No matter.  I do what I can do.
