Image Upscaler I kinda like - imgupscaler.ai

Trying out Amazon's Polly text to speech voice. Not bad for the price. Hope to make a longer format audio tonight. Talk more later.

Slept in my own bed for once
Last night I tried to sleep in my own bed. I made about 5 hours. The reason I haven't been able to sleep there is that I hurt my back years and time is just making it worst.
It was nice to sleep there. I can't wait to try again tonight (and wake up a billionaire from winning the lottery, LOL). Talk to you later!
