I was absolutely famished when I got home and noodled around on my phone in my car (seriously, does anyone else here just love spending ages sat in the car after coming home? I live alone, but procrastinating in the car hits differently.)

But despite that and the cold I am proud to say I walked a TINY BIT today (650m each way to the Further Shops and back) when I didn't have to, as a form of self care that I am usually too negligent to engage in. Maybe I might do it again tomorrow. Take a more circuitous route. I'm so sedentary... I do miss field work :(

I absolutely love walking as "self care". I merge it into my transport where I can - walking from station to office instead of catching trams, getting off the train at a completely different station so I can walk a few km etc - but also walk in the very early hours of the morning when I first wake up. it's my favourite time of day.

Getting my licence and a car a few years ago definitely made me realise how much I relied on incidental walking for my well-being... having a car has been terrible for my health because of my current lack of self control 😮‍💨

I love walking but I have to be careful now 😭
