A Nerdy Serpent

I'm such a slacker lately.
I'd hoped the new month would
get me back in the habit of squiggling in Dreamwidth Land especially since I recently got my forked tongue on the Daily Stoic journal with a writing prompt for every day of the year.
Sunday evening is my catch up on decluttering & reading time ever since Duolingo moved the goal posts for the weekly leaderboards then
brought in the deliberately addictive Early Bird and Night Owl double points sessions.
I make a point of staying away until as late as possible on Monday evenings so that I don't end up with a bunch of Hermione Grangers or annoying Zaris.(Zari a Duo charter and such a sad little swat)
I think I've mastered the dark art of getting the most points for the least effort.
My number 1 rule
Never do a lesson that isn't either earning double points or unlocking them.
With the exception of Musuc which I do solely for the sake of learning. Especially as the points to work ratio is so abysmally low.
I'm certainly getting my money's worth from upgrading to Super in the dying days of 2023 when they had it on offer for $108.00
I'd already turned down the $120 deal on offer after the free month trial from the partnership with Chess.com
I've also noticed that Duo is a very good way to test out the state of the old serpent grey cells.
Sadly, the Green zone days are rather less frequent than they used to be
I am still hunting and pecking in the tweet stone because I'm logged out of DW on the Big Mac and the whole reset password business is beyond my ancient brain lately.
There are so many interesting posts from friends that I want to reply to.
I do hope this is the month where I finally start lurking and squiggling on this site.
