Don't forget!

I need to make a list of things not to forget to bring, since I can't pack them yet because they are still in use. I hate making lists in Notepad - although it's the easiest, it's... ugly. And Word takes up too much memory and is too complicated and the page is too big blah blah blah. Anyway.

  • Water boiler
  • Toaster
  • Wastebasket
  • Printer
I'm being depended on for the first two, so I have to remember to bring them.

Edit: Just found this article in The New York Times, "Lobes of Steel"

"In the late 1990s, one group of mice at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, near San Diego, blew away the others in the Morris maze. The difference between the smart mice and those that floundered? Exercise. The brainy mice had running wheels in their cages, and the others didn’t.

Scientists have suspected for decades that exercise, particularly regular aerobic exercise, can affect the brain. But they could only speculate as to how. Now an expanding body of research shows that exercise can improve the performance of the brain by boosting memory and cognitive processing speed. Exercise can, in fact, create a stronger, faster brain."
