A Nothing Day and Shoulder Pain

I woke up feeling exhausted today. My back, the area around my right shoulder blade, was causing me a lot of discomfort. It’s an area that often gets sore, likely from years of sitting imperfectly and using my right arm for drawing and painting digitally.

Almost all the chairs animation studios give their artists are not very good for your back. Years of poor posture and bad equipment compound the back pain. I stretch most days, but when I get busy, I sometimes forget and neglect my muscles.

And as I get older it becomes much easier to injury myself just getting out of bed.

I spent most of the day in bed and watched some writing lectures and classes. The new sales copy class started yesterday as well and after watching the videos I did a little work on the first assignment.

I’ll nibble away at it each day this week.

I’m a bit behind on the 2026 Word Challenge, but I suspect I’ll be feeling more energetic tomorrow. Nothing wrong with taking a little time for yourself now and again.
