jon_chaisson Pretty sure the lingering back pain I have is due to my continuing bad habits of terrible posture. Finding myself leaning up against my right elbow in this chair and hitching up my shoulder for extended periods of time. Looking at the monitor at a slight angle to the right, slightly pinching the neck muscle. And of course using the mouse by extending exact same arm straight across the desk. All things I can easily fix by a) ensuring that I sit up and don't slouch, b) turn my desk chair to face the monitor directly, and c) stop screwing around with things where I need to constantly click the mouse (or c vers2, wherein I move the mouse and mousepad to a different position where I'm not overextending). Just a matter of remembering.
Speaking of desk things, the downside to having one with a dark surface is that I notice that it attracts dust like no tomorrow. I should probably get out the Swiffer and clean it (and other things in this apartment while I'm at it). As is my usual choice, I try to keep my desk surface as clear as possible because otherwise there would be tons of completely forgotten things hiding under the detritus. (Not food, mind you...a few past college roommates with no sense of order ensured I never got that bad, since they'd do it for me on a consistent schedule.)
And speaking of Spare Oom, we've had the windows closed the last few days due to Far Northern California Being On Fire (nothing in the immediate area, thankfully) and the smoke has been drifting our way as of late. The air purifier we bought last year is working just fine and kept us in breathable air, which of course is a good thing. And today has been quite clear, so I've popped open the windows a crack just to get some outside air in.
Other than that, not much to report...still writing, still exercising and stretching, still keeping busy!
