Time to power up some HIVE to reach our HIVE goals faster as August #HivePUD has arrived! 🙂 But, before going there, I would like to do a short recap of things that happened in July...

In June, I had guests at my home as my parents were visiting us, and in July, I was a guest at their place... 😃 Okay, it wasn't the whole month and it wasn't at their home, but I did go to another country to visit my family and friends... And also, some HIVE friends too!!!
Somehow, I did manage to do 2 #HHHLive shows in July, in the part of the month where I had a "break from vacations" 😃... One of them was an AMA (or AUA - Ask Us Anything) that was great, and the other one with @alessandrawhite as a special guest, which was even greater! The interview-style shows are getting better and better, and I will try to continue bringing interesting guests in the future, too!

I have mentioned meeting HIVE friends... Well, I have organized the 2nd meetup in Serbia, and was more than happy to meet another 2 (new) Hivians IRL (+1 old Hivian IRL friend)! It was a rather small meetup, but we had a lot of fun and enjoyed superb weather and company!
Unfortunately, the last few days of July weren't that good... I got sick and I missed literally 4 days that I could spend with my friends and family... I got some kind of virus, which held me stuck in bed... I wasn't able to eat, which will probably show on the scales when I check my weight... lol... That's positive, but for the next time, I would rather do a regular diet and not a "forced" one... All in all, after visiting the Urgency room and getting an infusion with some medicine, I got better...
To be honest, I'm happy that we moved to a new month, hopefully without getting sick! Going back home tomorrow, which means more posts, more engagement, more work on liotes, and more hangouts with you guys!

Back to the #HivePUD and HivePower accumulation!!!
This was my HivePower BEFORE the PowerUP:

Another 250 HIVE staked!

And the final result...

116K is soooo close!!
Just for comparison, I have added 1745HP during July (including this power up), which is very close to my previous months, even a bit higher... I sucked at posting after another vacation and trying to catch up with the previous in June... Despite all that, I'm happy to see my account still growing nicely!

The fourth in a row #HivePUM badge is collected! This one was a big struggle... Being sick for 4 days was a big obstacle as there was a day when I didn't even want to get out of bed... Again, thanks to my to-do list, I managed to get another badge under the belt!
Congratulations to everyone who got this awesome badge! This month, 54 users got it! 8 more than in June! Woohooo!

To get this badge, you should power up at least 1 HIVE every day of the month OR create a post every day with rewards set to 100% HP...

So, what is #HivePUD?
Just a short introduction to HivePUD... What does it mean at all? #HivePUD is short for the Hive Power Up Day. It's an event when Hive members power up their liquid HIVE and stop any active PowerDown! It all began with great fellow Hivians @streetstyle and @traciyork, and is held every 1st day of the month.

Thank you for your valuable time.
