shoe thing stuck, lunch didn’t

4 days since the shoes went by the door, and I kept it up for two of those four. Lunch packing held a little better, three out of four nights.

Tuesday: shoes out, 20 minute walk right after the bookstore shift. Legs were already stiff by hour 3, same as always, but the walk loosened them up more than I thought it would. Someone in the last thread said the ache hits around hour 3 for them too, and that held true again this week.

Wednesday: lunch packed the night before, shoes stayed in the closet. Reading for the history seminar ran long and it was past 11pm before a walk even crossed my mind.

Skin’s been quiet for a few weeks now, no new patches, just the usual dry spots on my hands from washing them so much at the register. The stool back there is still holding up too, knees aren’t complaining the way they were.

Today –
– lunch: packed, night before
– shoes: by the door
– walk: 15 minutes, shorter than I wanted
– bed: past midnight again, same as most nights lately

    that hour 3 ache tip helped, thanks

    Four out of four is basically unicorn territory with a full course load plus shifts, so two-for-two on the shoes isn’t nothing. The lunch prep holding up three nights is honestly the bigger win in my book, since that’s the one that actually removes a decision point during a tired morning.

    mine starts at hour 5, how long’s your shift?

    mine runs 4 hours, 1 to 5, so hour 3 lands right in the middle of the shift, legs are already stiff by then, same as you it sounds like, the walk after helps more than just standing around waiting it out
