    Yes, that's pretty bad. A couple of years ago (I think) when we had the smoke and soot from the BC fires make their way to Puget Sound, it looked like straight out of the apocalypse. I thought it was snowing in the summer, and it was ash.

    Do you guys have an air purifier inside your apartment?  I have a couple of little desktop units in our house, and they work very well when the wildfire smoke gets really bad.  They are "HEPA" rated, but the nice thing is that the filters can just be vacuumed and re-used.  I have such terrible allergies, and those things really help in keeping the air clean. 
    And PS - how is your eye?

    A few weeks ago, I was a chaperone for the high school senior graduation party. I was assigned to the Gold bus. When we were ready to leave, I stood up and said, "Gold Leader standing by" 🤣 Only the other chaperone appreciated my Star Wars reference 🤣

    You made it through!
    I'm guessing that's just a minor complication and you'll be fine.  Now the secret is to stop looking in the mirror and don't think about it.

    Thanks so much, I avoided Googling as you know that tends to bring the most horrific results to the top BUT I am glad I did as the articles I read seem to indicate a painless procedure for the most part, a topical applied to the eyelid for freezing so the draining is painless. From what I read their can be minor bleeding due to eye structure so most of the annoyance or discomfort is after the procedure and the healing process but I can deal with that, normal recovery type stuff I am fine with, considering all I have gone through with my eyes the last several months that is the least I am worried about but I am relieved some about the initial procedure now. I will be glad when it is over with.

    I'm sorry, man.  Seems perfectly normal to feel as you do.  Aging is just a series of one indignity after another, isn't it? 

    Don't worry too much, I'm sure all will be well.  And hopefully you'll be able to see better after it's done. 
    Good luck!  I'll be sending good vibes your way.

    Well, on a consumer level you are best to wait until it’s officially released rolled out as an update, it is an early release not meant for consumer use, nobody is advised to install this as their daily driver let alone update to it at this time. It’s for tinkerers like me to fiddle with but that said everything seems fine so far, no hiccups, it is really just the look/design/layout so far, literally Windows 10 with a new skin. Still, seems snappy, using little resources, personally I like it so far. I think it will be a while before anyone sees any real new features or changes to the core.

    First shot 5 days ago - UPDATE : Well after this I slept for like 12 hours, got up a couple times to pee, considered getting up half way but thought well, I will just lay down again and see what happens and yeah seems I needed more 😆so roughly 12 hours sleep but I think I am back to my usual self now, no more brain fog or out of sorts, just needed proper rest to recover. Hope it's over at least until the next Pfizer follow up shot, 🙂

    I have another friend who had the same thing happened.  Quick flash of symptoms about 5 days after the shot. 

    I hope you feel 100% quickly.  I say it's worth it.  For me, it was about the same as the Shingles vaccine.  Just a day of feeling slightly flu-ish.

    Hope you're in z-z-z-z-z land by now 🙂 I've been experiencing difficulty falling asleep since my heart surgery. I'd be awake until 4am-7am two or three times a week. I think it may have been caused by one of the meds which I stopped taking starting today (consulted my doc yesterday) 🤞
