Good morning! Slept great. Woke up, took a shower and got dressed. Have that Christmas lunch thing in the community room later today. Feeling really good. Gonna read some of my chess strategy book later. Anyone here play chess? I’m learning how to I’m terrible at it but I’m still a beginner. But I find it very fun and satisfying.

Thanks for the reminder about the virtual Christmas thread Jane , I appreciate that. I’ll be sure to drop in there

There’s a game I play called Pokemon Sleep. It basically connects to one of three devices depending on what you have. Either a Pokemon go plus plus which tracks your sleep, a Fitbit/or Samsung smartwatch, or an Apple Watch and it syncs your sleep data into the game and you can befriend different Pokemon that way and level them up. It’s a lot of fun. Basically it’s been helping me to actually go to sleep at night instead of pulling all nighters. I feel guilty when I think about pulling all nighters now because when you don’t sleep your Pokémon don’t get enough rest and then they’re tired the next day and don’t have enough energy to be as helpful in the game, so it’s prevented me from the temptation to pull all nighters multiple times this week which is good lol

That and Pokemon Go , another game, is really helpful too for motivating me to get outside and take walks. In that game you can catch pokemon on your walks you encounter on your journey and it tracks your steps and location in real time. It’s a lot of fun too.

Two games that encourage healthy habits.
