hello everyone, this is Refried Bean. Today is Monday, August 31. I just went to McDonalds. I walked there, about two miles. Then back.  I found a pair of sunglasses on the ground, and then a small compact New Testament. I can't believe it! Those are really awesome finds!!

At McDonalds I got the big breakfast. And I got a coffee. I was not able to drink the whole orange drink so I took it home with some leftovers.

I need to take today's iron pill. I feel mostly okay. My mom helped me with a banking error.  But I think the date of the deposit changed by five days with no notice.  But I do not know, but it is okay.

I sent my sister a text, also. I think that is good. I kind of think phone calls are good sometimes but what if they aren't? What if texting is better and some people figured that out a long time ago.

In two hours I have therapy. It is a surprise that it is today.

I think part of my feeling of not knowing what to do with myself is because I have more consciousness to spend because of reducing some medicine for health purposes.  Let's see how it goes. I think we will see an improvement on my health.

I also sent margarita a message. I might send some other people messages, too. But not right this second.

Well, have a good day, everyone.

 Hello everyone, this is Refried. One of my posts unfortunately attracted worship of a hindu idea. 

It was a googly eyed creature that reminded of them of something they call Jaganath.

So I mean what do I do, I do not know. I did not mean to do that.

I am not horrified by it. It is kind of a funny story for the future.

But possibly I should pause the ad or erase the comments.

Ok I am unable to upload the photos on this page but I will later on.

Ok I will figure out what to do. This boost just didn't go that well. 

I guess you live and learn. But it wasn't that bad but kind of lower numbers etc.

 Hello everyone, I just discovered a great new artist on instagram: April Bedard, known as aprilbedardartist.

Wow that is the ultimate plagiarism challenge is not to copy that. Did you see the googly eyed creatures? It looks like wrapping paper. I will have to be careful with my ai prompts which recently featured “googly eyed squiggles squiggling spaced apart on paper or blanket”

The renditions did not come close to being as cute as the art I just saw. I mean I can see that and not be jealous but it is definitely a style I believe in.

There are a lot of us who like googly eyed creatures. And I will not be the best at it. I need to accept that. I am just happy to have imaginary animals as my friends.

Anyway I think maybe my books are sharing ok and I just don’t get the cash for it and it is a secret.

I can live with that as long as it is not wasted.

It is about 12:44 right now. I think I will drink some more decaf soon. Do you think the pepperoni from the pizza I ate two days ago caused a reaction? Or the sunlight from yesterday? I just think this summer is a lupus flare for me.

But it could mainly be the low iron. I just feel that it is not getting that much better.

But my fatigue is not that bad.

Well, have a good day everyone. 

 Hello everyone, I just googled myself and discovered a very nice AI summary. Wow, it is hard to believe.

Hello everyone, this is Refried. It is Saturday, August 29. I slept a lot. I am okay about the Facebook numbers. I think the issue is that they gave me a deal last time and now it is normal.  That is different than cutting them in half. For som reason I feel okay about that.

I resumed the ads but missed the best chunk of time.  But I think it is okay and it means I will not spend too much as I was going to. I mean it would not have been too much if it had been at the super numbers.  But it is just normal and I can afford about double what I did.  Which will get me to maybe 14k followers. I mean that is cool to me. Like it won't be instantly 60k.  But let's think of other people for a second.  

Other people don't have those numbers. I mean think of Nut Smugglers Life.  They should have millions.  And they just don't, and it has to be fair, and actually probably is pretty close to being fair.

So that is good.  Maybe I was weird about interpreting the sky last night but I think it was real and cool and also kind of subtle, like people can take it or leave it. But I feel assurance that Claire and Elise etc and my family are all in good hands and there is a plan.  And I feel like there was a nice expression of condolences about grief and when I think well what is my grief, it is about some of the stuff that has happened in addition to traditional grief.  And it kind of makes it truly be okay to me.  And like maybe there is some support for the conspiracy's plan and even the weird NYU things I don't match on.

And it could be a good sign for the immigrants, frankly. I mean we do not know what is going to happen but I feel that we got some support from an up and up who sees and cares.

Also the stomach problems from later could have happened at the game.

So I am okay. I am drinking coffee. My weight said 197 this morning and that was a good surprise. That is three lower than that other reading. So I mean should I take a walk in a while, maybe.

Gice. the numbers. Man, double would be cool, but I really do understand. This is still good. And I needed to do a pause so now the pause is done and I did it at peak time and that is okay. A twelve hour pause so that save me 25 percent and I will probably save more again later.

Well, have a good day everyone.

 Ok everyone, the facebook situation is okay. They did cut my numbers in half.  Probably because of the hacking. That is too bad but it is still good numbers. I think I will end up at about 30k page follows.  But honestly I might not do the whole budget because the idea was to get a lot for it and if it is going to be kind of normal then I will spend normally too. So I am thinking pause it tomorrow.  They will not be happy with that but in a way they might not care. 

I think also the cut numbers are a message from the worker named Jasmine who helped me when I got in trouble for the houseplant post.

What does it all mean, I do not know.  And the fact that we have this trust system where the posts don't directly reach my followers. But I think it affects who gets the ad boosts.

So I mean that is interesting. This is meaningful work to me.  It is a good opportunity. I just think some of the fun of it is messed up now.  Like it is a good experience but not as amazing for 40 dollars. I mean that was awesome for forty dollars and now it is not that.

I just think what happened this morning was also dishonest.  They made my card fail on purpose.  They did that a long time ago, too.  It makes it seem like you are not good for the money when you are.

I just think as we tolerate things like that we are inviting true persecution into our culture and businesses.

To let a company make it seem like your card doesn't work.  

I just think this prayer mission might be a fail.

Maybe people don't want to hear that. Well I can revisit the people like I recently did for the jokes people.

But I just feel like the things from today aren't going that well. But it is okay but not great.

 Hello everyone. It is about 1:41 am. I am doing okay. I did not feel well for a while but am okay now. I think it was IBS for no reason. Possibly with some influence from an iron pill.

I will inquire about the Biscoline soon. 

I just drank some coffee. I think I will eat some of my ice cream that I got as a consolation.  Were people really disappointed in me? Or were they not surprised.  Let's think about how I have some wins. I did attend five different comedy clubs this year. And I finished another comedy class, and I did a lot of zoom meetings. 

I had a good time at the writers meeting today but I think my orientation was a little off because of the facebook and canva adventures.

I really like the new post.  

The numbers are not that great and that kind of disappoints me a little bit because I think it was right to go by the other indications.  So possibly if they have cut it in half then I will cut spending in half, too, for a fourth. And that will put me at 20k followers which is great. I just wanted the page to be a little more substantial in some ways. But as the people click like I am aware of how each person is a real person and I can pray for them all.

But I am not able to that well right now.  The mania is not happening but I do have more of a prayer feeling than when I don't run the ads.

Pals, possibly it would not have been good to be in the sunlight at the game. It might be that I have some issues just from being outside for that thirty minutes.

But I do not know. I think I don't feel that good because I did not eat much tonight.  And it will help to eat some ice cream. 

Does anyone have any thoughts about the past month or so?

I need to take my medicine soon but I will wait until I eat some food.

Does anyone have any thoughts about right now? The posts, the ads, the baseball game. I mean did I get left out on purpose because I had not taken my medicine? I have taken a lot of medicine lately. Probably that was not it but I guess we don't know.

And then later the interpretations like this is about Ravneet and I missed the hamburger event, the presentation, and the game.

Well, have a good day everyone.
