Battery Life in Summer

I've tried searching this but the posts I've seen imply the batteries last at least a few days...but I've had the issue where the battery lasts maybe 24 hours after a charge.

The weird thing is, I did not have to do anything with the battery from probably October until this past week. The same thing happened last summer. I'm in Northeast Florida. I thought I had the camera wired into the existing low voltage doorbell and thought that provided enough power to keep it online. Any advice on what to do? Or am I just stuck recharging the battery regularly during the hot months? Also the camera is not in direct sunlight.

Extremely savory/flavorful habichuelas

I need help -- I cannot make good flavorful beans for the life of me. I've followed a bunch of recipes, etc but they're never very good (not bad, just not great)...

I normally use goya red kidney or pink beans, some sofrito, recaito, tomato sauce , minced garlic, olive oil, adobo, and water and let it simmer for an hour or two

My grandmother used to make them and they were super thick and savory -- I've been told she used fatback but I'm not sure if that's what made it so savory and tasty -- but is that a thing? And if so can bacon grease be substituted?

Propranolol and depression/sadness

Has anyone had this as a side effect? My 15 yo started it last Sunday. 2x daily - first few days were great, heart rate remained in the 80s and she felt good. Then around Wednesday/day 3 after her second dose in the afternoon she got extreme stomach distress/nausea. She hadn't had stomach problems in months. I searched here and saw that as a short term side effect.

But has anyone dealt with depression? She's extremely sad, not like typical teenage angst and she's never really been this way and it came on at the same time as the stomach issues (which we're still dealing with).
