Perspiration Pals 16 October 2024

Hi there, Pals! How are you today? (As usual, I’m writing this on Tuesday evening because I know I will have another crazy day…) It’s the middle of October and here I am sitting barefoot with my windows wide open. I don’t like it. I want it to be chilly so that I can wrap up in my favourite soft blanket and light some candles. The weather is not the only culprit when it comes to my skewed thermoception, though. Tonight I’m going to stare at the Mystic Mountain Nebula. (galaxy projector)

OK, it’s Wednesday otherwise known as ‘I want it to be Friday’ day. I’ve just finished a total body routine with Brian (so I’m going to be sore) and I’ll be quick because I’m as hungry as a lone polar bear who’s been trying to hunt down an exceptionally smart and elusive seal. As might already know my go to (and quick) breakfast is overnight oats. I managed to find a trustworthy beekeeper and they have this canola honey and freeze-dried cranberry concoction which is to die for! I’m planning to add that to my overnight oats. Not much though because it’s quite expensive…

Anyway, moving on to our fact-finder fragment, I thought I’d tell you that lobsters have some really weird anatomy. Their brains are in their throats, their nervous systems are in their abdomens, their teeth are in their stomachs, and their kidneys are in their heads. Good old evolution must have been really drunk… Did you know that in the 1930s, two psychologists adopted a baby chimp and tried to raise her as their own child alongside their real infant son, Donald, to see if it caused the chimp to learn human behaviour? They stopped the experiment after nine months because their son actually started behaving more like the chimp..

All right, Pals, I need to rush, have an easy day and eat your veggies.
