I don’t know if it’s officially one, but I am also perimenopausal and seeing (lol) the same thing. Some days my reading glasses get a workout, some days not.

Oh it's not 4kg by any stretch - I expect the box has been reused. It's under 1kg, I reckon. Way under.

I hope you are sleeping well :). You've reminded me of something my partner says to our kids: "be good, be kind, make somebody laugh". That's a good goal for a day. Yours is good too.
