As you get older, it’s important to schedule time to disassociate.
This is why I take such long and frequent showers.

Existential dread after a grim reality crushes all hope.
It's not always that bleak, at least for me. Sometimes it's just deep regrets, shame, trauma, that sort of thing.

I'm lucky, in theory by car it should take me 30 mins to get to work, but traffic and parking make it a 1 hour trip if I'm lucky. If I'm not, it's 1.30h or more.
Train + bike is a 45 minutes trip every time so it's a pretty easy choice.
For me it's 45 minutes driving, around two hours by public transit (at best). Often the times I go to work and get off there's no lines running

Nah... In all seriousness, just exercise regularly and the pain goes away.

* ME gets worse with exercise. Sucks big time.

Ah yes the vacation disassociation time, it nice to escape the external horrors once in a while to just your own internal horrors, it's like a warm blanket before the waterboarding.

Why do people do this?
it's called "unwinding" and also staring into the abyss hoping to find answers about the future there to cure the mental depression and anxiety that dwells in us all (or most of us) since we don't know what the future will look like

My knee which feels like it exploded says otherwise.

And a bit of genetic luck also helps. I’m a flabby 40, but I don’t have backpain, two working knees and I’m flexible like a bendy straw. I’m more flexible than the skinny 20 year old intern at work.
On the other hand my hair started turning grey when I was 12, so you win some, you lose some.
My only physical problem at the moment (that I know...) is that between myopia and presbyopia my clear vision field spans maybe from 30 to 40 cm from my eyes. This sucks big times. Other than that, no backpain or the likes.

Running may cause this, yes. I've bought a relatively cheap elliptical machine for my house and it really made miracles.

I was late to my 9 o'clock meeting this morning because I was making coffee before I looked at my calendar.

Running is what triggered it originally years ago. Ligament and cartilage problems I think it was. Could barely walk on it for 2 or 3 months after. I have to be very selective about the sport I do now. I helped a friend move house a few weeks ago and somehow that has messed it up again. But now I know what it is so I know when to stop and deal it it better. I miss being young!

congenital cataracts means I don’t have my natural lenses. I can see about 20 percent with contacts or glasses.Still, I can ride a bike, I do watch repairs, and photography is a hobby. I like to challenge myself to do stuff that even normal sighted people wouldn’t do, like watch repairs with its teeny tiny screws. It’s only a disability if you let it be one.

Say hi in work messager
Back to bed
Even better: say good morning and change status in Teams to "busy" on the phone and let the mouse jiggler keep you from going "away". Never have to even leave the bed! Set the status to "away" again at 1700 once you're off the clock.

Luckily we don’t use teams, so I can just go back to bed hahaha

That's an awesome attitude! Congrats!
