I work as a mover so a 12 hour walk sounds like....well, a nice walk haha. but I limit myself to 4 days/week and naturally some moves are easier than others

I used to have a 9-5 desk job for quite a while and seppuku nearly occurred at the tail end there. not for me.

I think I got enough old dna in me. My ancestors evolved to wander fields for hours to find nice roots to eat. I think my body still yearns for that lifestyle
