Curation Trail, Powering Down and other updates/thoughts

I joined the @freecompliments curation trail. I am still manually curating but this does help automate some of that stuff.

I also started powering down some HP to use for donations. The good news is that I am adding more HP every week than I am powering down so that means the HP will still grow. Every day I'm getting closer to having this account be sustainable in fact I may actually be there now. Thanks to everyone for all of your support.

Another thing I wanted to mention, I will be scheduling posts mostly the giveaways for both this account and my main account @cryptounicorn420. We are closing on a house this week and I expect this month to be busier than normal with all things involved with that and moving. I actively practice pacing but this is bound to cause major PEM flare(s).

I may not be as responsive to comments etc even though I may appear to be actively posting. I will do my best of course but please don't be offended if I miss your comments . Being able to schedule posts ahead of time is a really effective tool.

I hope to maybe automate some of these tasks even more using python scripts. I don't really know how that all works but my husband is planning to be active on Hive and said he'd set up a server and see what he can do (he's a programmer and uses python a lot). That is likely several months out , but something to think about for the future.

In the meantime I will be online enough to make sure prizes from the giveaways are distributed. I may slow down the pace of the giveaways as well if that is necessary until I am settled in the new place.

**Thoughts... **
Once settled I am considering doing SBI giveaways on this account. Maybe I will reward people for posting in the Spoonies Unite community with SBI tokens. Doing those types of rewards are great but I would need to have some sort of automation or a volunteer or something because gathering data on who posted what is a very energy intensive task for me and it's not really something I am able to do. Maybe I could have an assistant do that as a weekly digest post or something? IDK these are just thoughts for now. I haven't figured out exactly how to implement that quite yet.

Suggestions welcomed.

I am also experimenting with the INCOME token on my main account. If it's successful I may get some tokens for this account which would allow me to reblog posts and have those posts be upvoted (potentially). I am still figuring out how it works.

This update is a bit all over the place. Just thought I share things for the sake of transparency- also writing things out helps me remember :)
