Some nights I'm so tired that I have to fight to stay awake, and other nights I tinker on my computer until the sun rises and still feel uninclined to go to bed. Perhaps it's the difference between 5 and 7 hours of sleep, or between 4 and 6.
For some time, I had an issue with my feet. After a day's sedentary work, they would start to feel strange, tingly and sort of swollen in the ball of the foot area below the toes. I felt it when I walked, but the feet looked normal to me. Until one day I finally noticed my ankles were only slightly visible, which did indicate swelling. The bones and veins of the feet were also less visible.
So I switched to sitting on the floor while working. That keeps my feet on the ground. No more weird foot feelings; no more swelling.
I'm not sure I want to keep sitting low long term, but getting a comfortable padded stool would help. Right now I have some thin cushions and a small sturdy box to switch between. There's also a style of cross-legged chair I've considered.
The pretty sun is brightening while I ramble and delete rambles.
You can go to bed, Darkoshi. You can do it. Caw caw from outside. I finished the week of work. I have 2 days. So many things to do.
Only a few can get done. But none will get done if I just sit and ramble and don't go to sleep. Up, up, darkoshi, up and away and dream dream dream
