"Female lobster - very greedy.
Small male lobster - eats so speedy.
Big male lobster - eats real slows.
That's how feeding tank 2 goes."
-Lobster Tank, original poem by AquaMarie, brought to you by: boredom at work :happy:

Currently reading: How to Winter - Harness Your Mindset to Thrive on Cold, Dark, or Difficult Days by Dr. Kari Leibowitz.
It's really interesting! It's absolutely not about seasonal affective disorder (the author goes on a bit of a rant about that in the second chapter :chuckle:), but the information she presents can be used to help those that do have SAD. Most of the techniques (so far, I'm only about 1/3 of the way through) are cognitive behavioral therapy techniques that I've been introduced to for my anxiety, but geared to changing one's mindset specifically about the season. I picked the book up because I'm interested in bringing more seasonality into my life, and the author talks about attitudes and traditions of winter worldwide, which is fascinating. And because I really don't like the chill and grey in winter. Honestly I'd be happy to just stay in bed under the blankets for three months :scroll:.

Speaking of winter: I finally got chilled enough yesterday to turn the HVAC from air conditioning to heating. It, uh, set off the fire alarms :shoked:. They only went off for about five seconds (burning dust doesn't create much smoke, I guess), but given it was 6:00 AM on a Saturday, I felt bad for the neighbors. :tap:

This morning when I was getting ready for work I heard the next door neighbors' fire alarms go off for a few seconds, and when I went downstairs to my car I heard the downstairs neighbors' fire alarms. I guess I wasn't the only one to get cold this weekend! :glee:

If I finish Foundation Light before New Years, I'll make my year goal of 3 challenges and 3 programs in 2024. Hopefully I'll remember that I need to do a workout everyday to finish that program in time, or else I'll have to double-up on days :curlz:.

If I do make it, I'm going to buy the video game Celeste as a reward. I checked it out of the library a few weeks ago. Even though I finished the main story and turned the game back in, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I kinda want to go back and unlock all the secrets and alternate level soundtracks, even though I know it'll drive me nuts :smash: It was hard! (Platformers are very frustrating for me, and I have a low tolerance for frustration, lol) But it was so much fun, and the music was fantastic!
