What I "saw" was exactly what I had been feeling on my skin for some days ~ a sort of "crackling". Our Sun looked as if she was sparking energy bolts, and my skin felt like static energy was crackling off it. Well, obviously this isn't evident on the photo, but I thought I'd still post it all the same in the spirit of what I was sensing.
Since this post is going to be Sun-related, I thought I would also mention a personal anecdote. I was pulling out some songs to place in a playlist, and halfway through I realised I had ~ without planning ~ selected five songs with "Sun" in the title, or in the name of the artiste:
....and another had the word "Sol" in the title ~ Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel.
This made me curious enough to do a search in my music file to see what else was Sun-related, and found these:

After all that excitement over the recent trio of X-class Flares, here we are now with those reverse-spikes, occurring at 24-hour intervals.

The last time we had that was in Sep-Oct 2023 (here), and most interestingly exactly two years ago in 2022 (here), and in previous years as far back as I can remember.
I also note that this recent reverse-spike/heart-beat session started on 27 February, just a few hours I took the photo of our Sun.
And look at the SR chart, all sorts of things going on there juxtaposed against the recent blackouts:

The Sun Today has a video of the first two flares, with the following screenshot taken from the clip:

Speculation was rife that the triple X-Flares caused the nation-wide AT&T outage, but the video in EarthSky explained that this wasn't the case.

We had another X-class flare at 06:53 UTC today! It's the 3rd this year (in my timezone, else it's two in Western regions) and this one registered at X-2.5 (video here).
Chart showing the X-flare reading, with 20 flares registered yesterday:

Look at that eruption:
There's definitely an amplified restlessness, paradoxically coupled withe the feeling that the brain has turned to mush. (Coming up with this post was quite a feat for me.)
I'm also adding the SR chart, to complete the picture:
