Just a few more.

You stare at an empty wall in your work office and wonder how you would get RO upstairs.

You start refering to your inverts by the cutesy name your wife gave them when the they come home from the LFS.

You forget the dogs name but will never forget your feeding routine

You spend a Friday night with your aquarium ... poisoning worms even.

Or you come home on a friday night and notice that a few SPS are ticked off, so you procede to do a WC, change out the carbon, and test all water parameters knowing in the back of your mind that if you simply readjust the locline valve you tinkered with before work all will be fine tomorrow.....
