Perking up

I'm no fool, I know the world is facing disaster on many levels. I just keep the thoughts out of my head because it makes no difference if I think about the issues or not, I'm powerless to help. So what do I do? I try to fill my little life with perks. 

The British McDonald's restaurants are supplying this game for a short time called monopoly double peel. You remove laminated plastic tabs that are attached to their food items and that reveals a playing piece. To win a prize, you must complete a district of properties;
It is like a game of bingo styled with the monopoly board game theme. If you don't win a prize then you still have the meal. 

My wallet has a small plastic pouch that can slide out, I never had a use for it before: it is too small for standard bank cards. I just put game tokens in there. I slide it out and put all the tabs I have won on the McDonald's monopoly game. In the small print of the game rules it advises you keep the tabs with you incase there is a glitch on the app that causes you to lose your progress. 

I also get £5 scratch cards and scratch off one game per day: that is so I play the game responsibly. I spend less than £1 per day on scratch cards because I use the winnings to buy the next scratch card and I only scratch off one panel per day, some scratch cards have 3 panels, some have 4, the one I'm using now has 5. I try to fill my little world with perks, I sip coffee before I start my work, I buy scratch card tickets and participate in fast food games. We also have movie night once a week at home. I also play computer games while I learn Spanish from my smart speaker and write blogs.
