Someone mentioned unclenching the jaw on purpose after that review meeting post, so I tried it today. Caught myself holding it tight around the usual mid-afternoon stretch and let it drop for a moment, then again a little while later. Didn’t fix the headache completely but it felt different than just pushing through it.
Legs did the same swelling thing by the end of the shift. Propped them up on the ottoman the moment I sat down instead of flopping onto the couch first like usual.
Piano happened before dinner again, not after. Easier to actually sit down and play when it’s not competing with being tired.
Book stayed closed on the shelf.
Writing this down mostly to remember to keep checking the jaw thing tomorrow, since today was actually when I paid attention to it instead of just reading about it.
