My neck is toast again by the time I log off for the day.
Spent most of today hunched over job listings and cover letters and didn’t get up from the desk until almost 6pm. By then my shoulders felt fused into one solid block, and my neck wouldn’t turn more than halfway in either direction.
Took a quick walk around the block to shake it loose, came home, threw together a simple stir fry since cooking anything more felt like too much, and sat down with the scarf I’ve been knitting to give my hands a break from scrolling.
Except tonight even that didn’t help much. My hands were fine, it’s the shoulders and the base of my neck that won’t let up. I keep meaning to find some kind of stretch routine I can actually stick with, something short enough I won’t quit after a few days like usual.
Did the same walk I’ve been doing for weeks now and it’s just not cutting it anymore. Feels like my body wants more than that but I haven’t figured out where to start.
