On the off chance that you have a drop ceiling or some other means of doing some light wiring, I recently installed these and the feature makes for a lovely ambience. https://a.co/d/cBrNSwU
If linky no worky, search Amico 6 Pack Black 4 Inch 5CCT LED Recessed Ceiling Light with Night Light
Bonus feature: it comes with The Big Lighttm too. Install is 3/10 for simplicity.

High quality post 👍
I too have a chicken-kicking story. Posting now so’s I’ll remember to write it out later.
It was precisely like a bad, dirty paper cut that stank of fish munge.
Haven’t seen it mentioned here, so a word to the wise: their beaks are somewhere sharp-edged, and if you were to grasp the beak and your hand were to slide lengthwise (towards or away from the tip), you could sustain a nasty cut.

This right here. I’ve known two drivers with this exact habit. Spectacularly infuriating.
Just let me out right here. I’ll walk.
Mrs. Ersatz86, native Spanish speaker with (normally) great English skills, to our daughter and I:
Wait, you guys went to the pub without me?
Me: Well, you were at yoga.
Mrs. Ersatz86: Did you at least stop at the liquor store?
Me: Sure did!
Mrs. Ersatz86: Well where’s the booze? What am I, shoplifter?
Me: … blinks…
Me: do you mean “chopped liver”?
Pandemonium.
Heh. I know a Misty Hyman, who achieved some notoriety as an athlete (swimmer).
It is difficult to say or even think of her name with a straight face.
Rechargeable is key here. Amazon has them for under $10. There’s no going back.
Learn a paid skill you can do with your hands. Welding, painting, HVAC, long-line fishing, building PC’s, anything. Get proficient.
You may never use it again. Hopefully you develop a skill-set that pays you better/is less physically demanding/is sexier.
But you will never starve and may be able to feed your family even if your primary occupation falls out of favor.
People either enhance or diminish your life. Very few are neutral.
Treat them accordingly.
Ice cream.
Toilet paper.
Get the good stuff or don’t get it at all.

Listen to this guy/girl OP.
Your dentist will almost certainly recommend:
-Getting an electric toothbrush, READING THE INSTRUCTIONS, and using at least twice daily.
-Simultaneously, getting a water-pik or similar (they make travel ones too) and using it twice a day. (Tastier if you fill it with mouthwash).
Or shell out ~$10k or more (in the US) later for ignoring this advice, like I will in April, for gum restoration procedures.
Plus nobody will tell you you have eye-watering bad breath, but they will certainly hold it against you.
Yikes! What a cringefest.
