Heat in the AM, AC in the PM??

Up and down, up and down... the weather makes no sense anymore and there are no more seasons here (sad face).  So the weather has been very polarizing (no pun intended) in that in the morning, it is 50 degrees and the heater goes on automatically.  Then it jumps up to 80 in the afternoon and the AC could trigger!  I'm glad I have a Nest so I can control it from my phone and not run up and down the stairs all the time.  I don't understand these settings and I've tried to adjust them but then I guess it's different for each hour, to each day, to each week to each month of the year.  I just want a blanket setting and if there is one, I haven't found it yet.  But again, glad I have control from my phone.  I wish my whole house was automated like this where I can control the lights, garage, doors even (windows) through my phone or an app.  I have heard of things like this but also not sure if there is one that can control it all or if it's separate devices and apps.  That seems like too much if it is.

Weekly Update:
So I have some calluses on my feet, I'm sure most people do and I am trying this new lotion to see if it helps softens them up.  I did the pads and that thing that sort of sands them down but so far they don't really seem too effective.  Hopefully this lotion helps, if not get rid of them but softens them a little.  I did try one pad and that helped for when walking around a lot but not really heal them, just prevented soreness and making them worse.  So, I hope this new lotion does the trick or at least a little bit and I can combo it with the pads to prevent further harm to me feet (picture is not my feet, random google image).  I've also heard that bath salts and soaking in water helps but then... I have to get a bucket of water to put my feet in and that feels like wasting water.

At the movies:
No big surprise as Black Panther: Wakanda Forever keeps the box office crown for week #2 with another 67.3 million.  It is a sizeable drop (over 60%) but now it is very close to 300 mil domestic cume and should get that by the end of this week.  New at #2 is The Menu with a distant 9 mil to open and we are in full swing for award-season.  Also new at #3 is The Chosen Season 3 with 8.2 mil and this was more of an event than a film run so holdovers won't be strong.  Big drop to #4 is Black Adam with 4.5 mil more as it quickly fades out.  Rounding off the top 5 is Ticket to Paradise with another 3.2 mil and also fading out.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Two this week but one was in limited runs.  At #6, She Said with 2.3 mil to open and this may do better on streaming.  And new at #9 with a very limited run is Drishyam 2 with 1 mil, if it had a good per screen average it would mean something but unfortunately... it did not.
