Do you find yourself preparing physically or mentally for the colder months ahead and what does that look like for you? Um, huh. Not not really, I guess not in any tangible way. I mean, I do, you know, I do count the days down. You know, when, when, when we go from the winter solstice, I had, you know, I know how many days it's going to be until spring. But no, I mean, I try to, I try to set, like, personal goals, like, you know, reading or doing something creative or things that I can do at home that will kind of give me something to focus on other than the fact that it's cold and dark outside. So mental health, I would say, you know, I try to just focus on things I can do inside it. I like doing hobbies and interests. Health-wise, no, I just kind of hibernate for a couple of months and hope for the best. Sure. And are there any changes in how you care for yourselves or engage with health services during the fall? I mean, checkups, vaccinations, changes in habits? Really, I mentioned before, you know, I kind of overeat in, you know, in the winter. I rely more on packaged food or ordering out just because it's simpler. I don't have any problem connecting with my health care providers. I have a zillion of them, it feels like. So, no, that part's not a problem at all. I don't have any issues, you know, reaching out to if something's wrong. But yeah, habits, I would just say just, you know, healthy eating and things like that just are go out the window.
