Happy new year!

2026

Really just want this year to end as quickly as possible 

February or march 2027 one of them is my last month for probation 

I’ll be getting court costs paid off this month

Then it’ll take a few months to save up for all supervision fees

But I’ll be done with the money part

I’ve been going twice a month the past several months

But I got it changed to once a month

It’s about 12 months to go

Meaning I only have 12 more visits

I’m so ready to get this done and be out of trouble

I want a beer and to smoke some green after I get off of work

I want to enjoy bud on all my days off

And most importantly I’m ready to start trying to quit smoking cigarettes

If I can’t quit then at least try to smoke them a little less

The only plan I have so far is smoking weed each time I get the urge to smoke cigarettes and just stop buying cigarettes lol

Probably going to be the hardest thing I’ve ever had to quit

Hopefully not hopefully it’ll be not so bad

I’m ready to quit but I don’t think I have a chance while on probation 

I smoke cigarettes because I experience small panic attacks but it’s enough for me to kinda lose it and smoking anything stops that from happening

I’m a huge pot smoker which doesn’t get the negative effects like cigarettes but I can’t smoke pot on probation 

Community service done

Anger management done

Court costs done

Supervision fees 1,100/1,800

10 months done out of 22 months on appointments

No showing up late, no missing days, no dirty ua

Not a single violation 

All I have left is to pay $700 and show up on time clean for 12 more visits

I’ve paid $9,300 and I only have $700 to go

So ready to have this all behind me

I won’t go on forever about this because I already do that on nothing to see here

But things are going pretty good

Just need to keep it that way

Get 2026 over with

And I’ll be done 

All in one broken

Should of made this post sooner

Better late than never

A recent game update broke the api.dll which broke my all in one program

A new api.dll has been released 

I just don’t have the energy to correct the code and upload

Considering taking another break from 11

I just want to rest during my time off

12 months left of probation 

Smoking cigarettes is really catching up to me

I’ve only smoked them for a year

Physically in terms of being able to do work like moving heavy things or standing up to pressure wash I’m stronger than ever but I get tired so fast now

I have to take breaks when before I wouldn’t need to

Starting to get this pain in my chest where it feels like something is expanding and I just hold on to it

Talked to my nurse about it and she had no idea what it could be

Like if I work too hard with my hands or my legs right under my heart expands like a balloon being filled with water I hold it and stay still a few mins then it goes down and I get back to work

Trying to save all my energy for work

Can’t spend my resources on 11 right now

Gemini and I got in to it last night

I edited my crafting compass to allow search from hq crystals and a escutcheon line to each crystal

It kept telling me I had a } at the end of my code

And I knew I didn’t

I tried in vs code I tried in notepad++

I turned on the extra characters in notepad ++

I copied everything until the last line and wrote that manually 

I deleted my file and rewrote it several times

It was so damn adamant it had a } at the end

I kept sending my .py and it kept saying

I’m sorry I know code not working can be frustrating 

And I was keeping it cool

But it was frustrating me Gemini kept trying to calm me down and so damn adamant I had an unnecessary character at the end

So for once I gave up on Gemini and tried my own things out

I had a sequence of code named “escutcheon enhancement hq”

I even asked Gemini if this was alright and it said it was fine as long as I used the exact same phrase

So I initially thought okay it’s fine

But that’s when the program broke

So I changed “escutcheon enhancement hq” to “escutcheon” 

Aaannnnd it fixed it 

So I told Gemini I fixed it and what I did

And Gemini was like that’s great but your .py still has the unnecessary }

And that’s when I hit her with no it doesn’t you said my program wouldn’t work if it did and it does work

Gemini was actually broke last night lol

I hope I don’t have the same issue in the future

I stayed calm and got a little upset Gemini kept trying to keep me calm

Then I told Gemini I fixed it and Gemini still said it was wrong

I even told Gemini there’s no way that character is there you said it wouldn’t work with it and it’s working perfectly fine

I was stumped lol

Glad I figured it out

Without geminis help lol

Officially Upbeat is a Capped Skill Digger 12/1/25

 Just to prefix, previously I thought I had capped skill but I checked during a chocobo digging campaign that lowered zone dig time. I ended up being rank 7 when I finally checked without the campaign, but for months thought I was capped and quit digging.

It has been a few months since then and managed to get that oh so desired rank 10 expert today.

Only took me about 15 or 16 days to go from rank 9 to rank 10 using sky blue silk, max endurance choco, and chocobo rope.

This is assuming 6,000 digs total, at 100 a day normally, 200 with capped endurance meaning instead of 60 days, 30 days and sky blue silk which gives skill 50% of the time so instead of 30 days 15 days

I can confirm once you cap you no longer receive skill up messages with sky blue silk.

chocobo rope seems to help quiet a bit but very hard to test.

Now i'm exciting to work on my other characters which I have been taking a break from doing.

So cool to have capped skill finally, I'm not sure which zone I want to dig first with my capped skill, probably rolanberry fields in the past, that's one of my favorites, very cool zone for digging

WOOOOOOOOOO capped digging skill on upbeat !
