Neck’s actually been fine since I started propping the laptop on books. Back’s the one still complaining, same spot low on the left, and it’s getting old.
This week was just sitting, sitting, sitting. Desk during the day, then the kitchen table after the kids are down trying to get through practice questions for the exam, 2 months out now and the chapters aren’t getting shorter. No standing breaks, no stretching before bed, none of it stuck (mostly because by the time the kids are down I just want to sit).
I keep telling myself I’ll reset once this exam’s behind me, but I’ve said that about other things too and they didn’t magically fix themselves once the deadline passed. Right now it’s just the same ache in a different week, dragging into the next one. Even Saturday’s hike felt more like something to get through than something that helped.
