@sand I wake up a lot as well. Kind of rare that I sleep through the night, but I often make the mistake of drinking water too close to bedtime. I also tried a sleep mask since my apartment is bright from streetlights outside and it helped a bit. Hope you can get a better night’s sleep in the near future!

@sand I am supposed to be doing homework (I’m not a normal adult) but I often blow it off for social media and streaming tv time. 😀

@sand panic picnic is now in my head. 😂

@sand That sounds like a great day off. I need to remember to take days off like this. Usually, I am running errands or doing homework when I take a day off, or going on a trip—which is fun but also a lot of work and planning at times. Hope you get to have more me-time days off in the future. :)

@sand I could picture my face puckering. 😂

@sand They do! They also sold saimin but stopped a few years ago. We also have a Portuguese sausage, eggs, and rice breakfast that’s popular. I do think it’s neat how regional items get put on the menu at McD’s. I tripped out the first time I went to a McD’s in Georgia and they had a biscuits and gravy breakfast! (Which I liked). 😊

@sand I need to try the hot sauce! Did not know about an apple milkshake! Thanks!

Tried the #Minecraft Movie Meal a couple days back. You can choose #BigMac or chicken nuggets. The toys are pretty cool. I got the #Grimace egg and my friend got the #fries. The Happy Meal Minecraft toys aimed at kids are not as cool. #McDonalds #AMinecraftMovieMeal

@sand would this be similar to what you’re looking for: https://protexcanada.com/en/blog/window-film-how-much-do-frosted-windows-cost/#:~:text=The%20cost%20of%20having%20windows,a%20standard%20frost%20film%20installation.

I used the terms window frost and service.
Good luck!

@sand I do wonder about face pains. Could they be sinus related? Body aches are happening to me a lot. Usually whenever I ramp up my exercise too much without rest days, something gives … like knee or hip or some kind of pain. My neck is sore lately since I’m sleeping weird, I think. It’s true thinking back, nothing really hurt in my teens or twenties.. and I joined the army guard and was going through lots of physical training back then.

@sand 😂

@sand I imagine you can do a lot with it though. I still see folks using canva and making flyers with no margins and too much/too small text for events and things at work.

@sand hope you can get to the bottom of it. 😜 Seriously though, I know what you mean about random pains. Hopefully it gets sorted in the end!

This message is brought to you by the pain my left knee has been experiencing of late. I hope at worst, I have to do physical therapy. I'm not keen on any kind of surgery.

One of my goals in life is to live in a building with an elevator, or a house! But let's face it, I'll never be able to afford a house in Hawaiʻi. The elevator thing though.. That is probably doable. :blobcatcoffee:

I got an MRI last week. They asked what kind of music I wanted. I said golden era/90s hip hop. I realized my mistake almost immediately since I had to keep myself very still while lying there with headphones on. Hypnotize and Humpty Dance coming through. Not easy to do.

Waking up every so often with ideas. I email them to myself for later. This is how my brain works when I have deadlines and anxiety. My best brainstorms seem to come about when I sleep. 😴

@sand @Beachbum I do think there will be a pendulum swing and folks may realize their lives are not improving. I hope that doesn’t come too late.

@sand @Beachbum I want to believe dems can take some seats in upcoming elections. However, I won’t be surprised if Trump declares martial law before his term is up. Many of us wanted to believe that America had changed. But many folks are showing us they don’t want it to. Racism, destruction of information and education. Attempts to suppress opposition to authority. Destruction of social programs. It isn’t looking good for we the people.

@sand @Beachbum I know there are protests and dissent right now, but lots of news feels the same—same stories covered by multiple outlets. I don’t think protests are getting as much coverage, and they’re also not as large and organized. So, less news coverage.
