After the wrong-shoes thing last week, I moved my actual work shoes right next to the door.
Not in the closet, not in the moving box with the rest of my shoes. Just sitting there so I can’t grab the wrong pair half asleep before coffee.
Worked an 11 hour shift yesterday and my legs didn’t start swelling until around hour 9. Usually it’s hour 3, so that’s a real difference for me.
Might be the shoes, might be I wrapped my ankles tighter before I left, might be both. Not ruling anything out yet.
The moving boxes are stacked by that same door now too, so the entryway’s a mess. Almost knocked the whole stack over grabbing my keys this morning!
Still not sleeping great, kid’s up a couple times most nights. But one less thing going sideways during the day actually helps more than I thought it would.
