Keep it simple, stupid.
The Muse Letter No. 87
For months I’ve been having neck pain. It would gradually get worse over the day, spread out into my shoulders and upwards transforming into pulsing headaches. I would blame the mattress and half-ass a yoga video once in a while but what I wouldn’t do is listen to my partner and the whole world telling me that: It’s probably because of how I hunch over my laptop all day. That could not be the problem I would say because I have been doing this all my adult life so why would it suddenly be the cause?
This morning the bluetooth mouse arrived completing the new and improved set up of my laptop being propped up on a wooden box leveling with my eyeline and the bluetooth keyboard that I am typing on. The fucking bliss that I am feeling right now is immense. It’s almost ridiculous how I feel so stupidly giddy about this.
It reminds me of last year February when I was writing about how I often lack the ambition/organisation/energy to solve simple problems with simple measures. It seems like a cyclical thing or just coincidence but something tells me that February really is about solving problems, solving tasks that have been left to do for way too long. Things that easily get overlooked. But in the light of a new year and in this in-betweenness of waiting for spring what else is there to do?
