The Jedi in Residence: Self-care
May. 4th, 2020 07:20 amMay the Fourth be with you!
I've started the habit of taking the odd Monday off - no work email, no notifications (ok, I lurk a teensy bit on Teams because my team is hilarious.) and instead indulge in grapefruit mimosas, computer games,watching Leverage, and well, basically extending my weekend. Mostly I'm aggressively NOT working. Household chores and mask-making don't count.
( Some notes on sewing masks )
I got out my bike last month for the first time in over a year. The bike path next to me is busy, but at least people are moving, which lends itself to social distancing. I was doing very well with my daily walks at lunch and sometimes a morning walk on top of that. And then I did something to my right Achilles - I've been taking it easy this last week, but it's hard when my desk is set up for standing or sitting in a high desk chair. I have to shift to one of the living room chairs to ice and elevate the heel. Fortunately it seems to be less sore in the afternoon and cycling doesn't seem to aggravate it, so I'm not completely sedentary. Stupid bodies - why does middle age have to hit me so hard?
