Putting this on the calendar: one movie, alone, every other Thursday for the next 2 months. Its been 6 weeks since the last one, somewhere between the move and the kid’s rough nights. Matinee only — [before the shift ends and my legs start swelling], not after. There’s an 11:40am showing on weekdays near my old office and it’s basically empty that early. Evening shows are off the table anyway — by 7pm my feet don’t fit the shoes I left the house in. Nothing fancy, just the one seat, the aisle, no popcorn (the salt makes it worse by evening anyway). Every other Thursday, one on one off, for 2 months straight. If I skip two in a row the count resets. Haven’t had a block of time that was just mine since before the bins got packed up. Writing it down this time instead of just thinking about it and letting it slide like last time! One seat, every other Thursday, 2 months — that’s the whole plan.
[Rest] solo matinee again

the matinee only — before the shift ends and my legs start swelling, not after bit hits different once you’ve actually sat through an evening show where your feet don’t fit the shoes you left the house in. I get a version of that from sitting too long during work hours, feet puffy enough by the end of the day that putting shoes back on takes effort.

SkinHarmony said: I get a version of that too. Standing all day already has my legs swelling by evening, so by the time shows start my shoes feel like someone else’s.

the popcorn thing because of evening salt really stood out, I’ve learned to plan around small stuff like that too since my days are mostly sitting now
