I walked to Maurie Jacobs Park and the Owen Rose Garden this morning, playing Pokémon Go as usual. There’s currently an “egg hatching event” running, which I don’t find super compelling. (My screenshot shows me with nine 2k eggs which is apropos for the event since 2k eggs are the focus but many of these were picked up before the event started). It seems like the gen 4 evolutions of previous generation pokemon are sort of in the game now, but you need a Sinnoh Stone evolution item to get them and I’m not sure if it’s possible to get those yet. I’ll be hitting my “first pokestop of the day” seven day streak tomorrow, maybe that will grant one?

The results of the #AutomaticWin step challenge were posted and I didn’t make it to the top 10. If I’m doing the math right I missed by only about 2000 steps. The prize isn’t huge (especially with the price of STEEM crashing) but I’m really disappointed I didn’t win. I’ve been dealing with a lot of anxiety and frustration for the past few days and was hoping this would be something positive to offset that, but that didn’t happen so it’s having a disproportionate impact. Hopefully I’ll find something that can help me boost my mood.
