      There’s usually still a drop of water in the empty thermos, just that it shrinks by an order of magnitude after every extra sip.

    Every time I fill my thermos with water I fill up the purifier and leave the thermos in the kitchen and continue whatever I was doing. Could be minutes or hours before I wonder where the thermos is. So annoying all the half completed tasks I have to fix.

    Somewhere, deep in our brains, a neglected circuit says : Not just the water ! We need exercise !

        All good, DDR (Dance Dance Revolution), like some other activities, games and sports, helps us having more fun while exercising 😌

    That’s why I started drinking out of the biggest cups I can. One time I was sick or something, and I just kept two big-ass cups of water so I didn’t have to get up as much.

      Same. I either drink from my massive 1L Ikea glass, or my 3L water bottle. Some day I’m gonna get one of those water dispenser cisterns and drink from it through a straw.
