Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Happy April HPUD, y'all! This time around, April HPUD - Hive Power Up Day - 89.225 HIVE Powered Up, I powered up 89.225 HIVE, which took me from 17,599.315 HP to 17,688.540 Hive Power (it's already past that), so it's a given that I'll exceed 17,700 Hive Power before the end of the week. With Hive's current horrible economy, the APR for Hive Power has been constantly reaching new all time highs, which means that our Hive Power is growing faster than ever, and more quickly all the time. That's the only benefit to these abysmal conditions.

At this cadence, 18,000 Hive Power will be surpassed in about 2 1/2 weeks. I'm gaining a fair bit more than 100 HP per week now, and with these monthly HPUD powerups, achieving my 2026 year-end goal of 25,000 Hive Power is becoming all the more likely, even without a manual boost, though we shall see.

The most surprising bit of information that I discovered today, is that since my March HPUD powerup, I gained more than 630 Hive Power. That is by far the most HP that I've gained in a usual month, outside of my occasional mega-powerups. I get the feeling that it will surpass 1,000 HP gained in a month quite soon.

While I don't notice the extra HP so much in my vote values, I definitely am seeing how useful it is in terms of being able to accept more HP leases, which is allowing me to invest in Hive-Engine's layer-2 assets ever more strongly, especially in assorted excellent diesel/liquidity pools. I'm almost done reworking my HP leases so that I'm only accepting self-renewing leases (those to @centtoken), with only one more significant auto-expiring lease left to replace. That will help out a lot with the consistency and stability of my daily SWAP.HIVE income.

I've still been contributing/donating 1 SWAP.HIVE per day to building and growing our 'We Are Alive Tribe' financial infrastructure and framework, with a total of 118 SWAP.HIVE having already been sent and invested so far. If any of you would like to join the fun and assist me with this noble endeavor, asset contributions/donations can be sent to our @waat-swif account, which was created to receive community funding for this purpose.

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 2:30PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and with that completed, to a few small jungle-community tasks, including going on a banana hunt around the property in sesrch of harestable bananas (I didn't find any). After a short asset-management break up at the Flow House, I worked on bracing the Doghouse (an essential part of our internet infrastructure) up on one side, since the whole structure had begun to lean, in preparation for more solid and long-term support soon. Once I wrapped that up, I set up my ASUS RT-5300 router in the Flow House, since it was no longer needed in the Doghouse, after which I went to make myself some food (spiced-and-seasoned beef burger, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, and Dijon mustard) in Wabisabi, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I headed back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got everything done by around 9:30PM, and after some asset management, and scanning my X feed, I went to bed by around 11:45PM. I woke up just after 7:30AM, having slept well, going to make my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, returning to the Flow House to power up my HIVE for HPUD and write and publish a post about it, then beginning on this post. It's now just after 12PM, so it's a wonderful time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before preparing for a session that's scheduled for 1:30PM. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's incarnation of these posts! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2026 Life Goals

1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.

2.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.

3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.

4.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
