Went back to that same walk to pick up the kids again this week, pink house and all! Swapped the tote for an actual backpack after a few of you brought up the one-shoulder bag thing last time.
It’s helping the side that was getting sore, honestly, but now I’m noticing something new — my neck wants to lean forward to balance the weight on the way home, like I’m bracing for it before I even step outside. Could just be me adjusting to the switch, could be I packed it wrong and it’s sitting too low, no idea yet.
Walk’s only about 20 min each way, so it’s not like I’m hauling it for hours, but it adds up by the second trip of the day, especially after sitting at a desk all morning.
Anyone else switch bags and have it take a while to settle in, or is that usually a sign to just go back to what you had before?
