I’m on the board of a HOA in the SF Bay Area. Does anyone know what the standard/average Mechanic Straight Time base rate per hour is for this area?

Thanks so much!

Ages ago a trainer in her 30s recommended I take Evogen cell KEM post-workout. It worked great for a good while. Surprise, surprise it’s now taking longer for my muscles to recover. Anyone have any recommendations for a post-workout drink or supplement for women in our stage of life!? Thanks so much!

Do people parking in the lot for the evening still need to pay? Some lots stop charging after 3pm. TY!

When I started HRT (patch + 200mg MP 12 days per month) my sleep was fine, but then it wasn't. Since so many women in peri regularly wake up at 3am, then 4am, then... I thought maybe the disruptive sleep that came shortly starting HRT was just perimenopause perimenopausing. Last month I forgot to take my 12 days of progesterone but noticed that I had been sleeping great. Remembered my pills, started taking them again, and sure enough, sleep disturbances have started again. I usually take my pills around 10pm and haven't noticed they made me drowsy.

For those of you who also experienced poor sleep while taking MP, what have you found that fixes this? I saw some comments about taking it vaginally. I've been wondering if I should take it earlier in the night or even the morning since it doesn't make my drowsy. Any comments on what has helped would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks so much!

(FWIW I've emailed my doctor too but would love to hear some anecdotal wins!)
