I like rereading my posts. It reinforces my memory of recent times. I reaffirms my decision to keep a blog. It inspires me to write more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Old blog post of note: last year in June I mentioned <a href=\"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/?p=23743\">trying a dead hang while on the walking trail<\/a>. I wrote, &#8220;My hands and shoulders were like \u201cWTF!\u201d Is it suspicious that I developed a serious shoulder problem later that same year? Can&#8217;t help but wonder. That brief dead hang seemed innocuous then (I made no mention of being in pain afterward), and maybe it was. But also, maybe middle-aged women with limited upper-body strength ought to be more cautious in the future?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I keep falling asleep while watching TV at night. At first it was accidental, but lately I&#8217;ve been aware as it&#8217;s happening and have chosen to snooze there instead of going to bed. It&#8217;s weird, because sleeping on my daybed, with the lights on and the TV still playing, is not very comfortable. But there&#8217;s a sort of logic to this bad habit. I&#8217;ve really come to dread the moment when I wake up in the morning. It will be too early and I won&#8217;t want to get up, but I&#8217;ll have to, because staying in bed will only lead to more shoulder pain, more grogginess, and a longer-feeling workday. I&#8217;ll be tired all day, and I will struggle to find enough mental clarity for my work, and the work will be grueling. No wonder I don&#8217;t want to go to bed! Meanwhile, if I snooze in my daybed, I won&#8217;t have to go to bed. It will stretch out the night and postpone the morning. I really can&#8217;t blame myself, but it&#8217;s not a helpful habit, and I should cut it out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The snow is mostly gone, but mounds and patches remain. From the upstairs bathroom window, which looks out on the woods behind the house, the ground is brown-and-white-splotched, like a pinto horse. On the other side of the house, where the sun hits strongest, the daffodils have started to come up!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24380"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24380"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24380\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24392,"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24380\/revisions\/24392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
