my doctor flagged something kind of small at my check-up last month but it stuck with me anyway.
today I looked up and realized I’d been in the same chair for 4 hours straight. deadline week does that to me. I just don’t notice time passing when I’m heads down.
my back was so stiff when I finally stood up I had to hold the counter for a sec.
I’ve been trying to set reminders on my phone but I keep dismissing them without thinking, muscle memory at this point.
anyway, moving apartments soon too so everything in my place is half packed and I’m tripping over boxes every time I do get up, which is maybe its own kind of reminder.
picked the violin back up last week after years off and my shoulders hurt in a completely different way after practice, different muscles I guess.
freelance months are either slammed or dead quiet and there’s no in between, so the quiet weeks I plan to move more and then a big project lands and I’m back in the chair for hours again.
