I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #809 - 8,000 HP Incoming, and a Notable Change to BXT Payouts - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, October 14, 2024

I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 5 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I'll be crossing the threshold of 8,000 Hive Power this week, which is quite an exciting milestone for me. Since my mega-powerup to dolphin level on December 1st of last year, when I added 2,715.315 HP to the 3,073.537 HP that I already had from organic growth, and which brought me to 5,788.852 Hive Power, I've gained another 2,174.699 HP over the past 10.5 months. Presently it breaks down to about 3,500 HP per year. That's not bad at all, and my rate of HP growth only keeps accelerating.

Since my year-end HP goal is 10,000 HP (yes, I should have perhaps chosen a slightly smaller number for this goal), that means that with the 7,963.521 HP that I have at the moment, that I still need to make 2,036.479 HP to successfully reach that goal. Yep, that's a lot, however, with the present growth rate, by the end of the year I should be just under 800 HP away from my goal, which is not that much at all. It's because of that fairly small margin that I think I still might have a chance of hitting my goal. I'm going to do everything that I can to make it happen. Between my ever-accelerating HP growth, and perhaps a small boost, I think it's very possible.

My large investment in BXT, which is one of my top favorite income tokens, along with DRIP, has been helping my HP growth along very well. Since it pays out liquid HIVE daily, I've been saving all the HIVE that I earn from it (along with the HIVE that I earn from other income tokens, delegations, contest awards, and my Ecency Leaderboard rewards) each month for my HPUD powerups. Doing so has allowed me to speed my HP growth quite nicely, so it's been a very important part of reaching my year-end goal.

With the recent BXT/BeeSwap maintenance that stopped the daily HIVE payouts for several days, and then no makeup payouts when it did start paying out once again, I was becoming pretty concerned about how it would affect the likelihood of achieving my year-end goal. I wrote about that in a few of my recent posts, where I expressed my dissatifaction at how the BXT/BeeSwap leadership handled the situation. Something very significant changed, however, with the last 2 BXT HIVE payouts that I received.

My usual daily payouts for my staked BXT is usually in the range of 0.6xx-0.7xx HIVE, but over the last two days I've had payouts of 1.267 and 1.713 HIVE, so quite a substantial increase from all previous payouts. I don't know yet if these increased payouts are a short-term, temporary thing, perhaps to make up for the past missed payments, or whether they are something more stable moving forward, but in any case they've definitely put me back on track for at least my November HPUD powerup. If the payouts remain at this level, they will give me a good push to being able to attain my goal of 10,000 HP by the end of the year. If the payouts do remain at this level, at the end of the week I'll rehash the numbers to see what it might actually mean in terms of my year-end goal. We shall see!

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, around 1PM, putting my focus first on collecting a wheelbarrow full of Melochia leaves for cow-milking food. Jo(hana) has mostly taken over milking the cow again, and since she's still getting back into the swing of things, I'm trying to make her job as easy as I can. After collecting cow food, I made some food in the Landing (eggs, sea salt, onions, tomatoes, and cheese), which I took back up to the Flow House to eat, as I did some token management. There were some bamboo plants (3 plants of 3 different species - 2 dwarf Japanese species, and 1 tropical clumper) that I had been meaning to get planted in the ground, so after I left the Flow House again just after 3PM, that's what I did. Once I finished with that, and after a second shower of the day, I collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and I made my way back to the Flow House, to get into my usual evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. Soon after starting that, however, Iolanthe texted me to ask if I could go down to Tutu's to make her and her brother Elohi some food, which I did. Once their food was made, I headed back to the Flow House to get to my Hive notifications. I got everything done by around 10:30PM, and after some token management, scanning and tracking events on my X feed, I went to bed around 12AM. I slept very well, super thankfully, waking up about 7:30AM, doing another round of token management, starting on this post, and then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee. It's now just before 1PM, so an excellent time to end this post, so that I can get to my few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first take more photos for these posts, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression of this post! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
