Ah chronic illness, hello my old friend.
I had been doing so well I started to think I was invincible and pushed too far this week. So yes I absolutely had to go to bed at 7:30pm and lie here in the dark, not moving. Hoping this helps and tomorrow I wake up ok.

Your body isn’t a collection of muscles—it’s a fascial web.

Most fitness programs ignore that.
That’s why pain keeps coming back, flexibility plateaus, and injuries repeat, no matter how “targeted” the exercise seems.

This started off so well, but I've noticed much like The invisible Life of Addie Larue, it just gets bogged down somewhere after the middle but before the end. I find myself skipping pages of repetitive storytelling #booksky 🪐📚💙

Saw a line of noisy school kids queueing on the train station, and felt relieved that it seemed like they were at the next platform.

Settles onto my train, and they start boarding my carriage 😬. I get up and walk 2 carriages down, hopefully far enough out the way 😂
