exercise 3 times a week

I worked so hard today at work, all of it pretty physical. I’m exhausted. But it does feel good knowing I got a good workout in. I don’t like sweating at work, but I hardly got a moment to sit. We spent most of the day packaging, taking in boxes, and selling, selling, selling. We were soooo busy. It was a wonderful day for our store.

We cleaned out the disgusting creepy once-flooded garage at the old house we bought in Tillamook. At first we just picked things up off the floor, off the shop benches and off the shelves. We loaded them on the trailer and I set about sweeping away the cob webs and vermin nests and then used a heavy push broom on the crispy flaky dusty mud-caked floors. Most of the time I had to keep a (surgical?) mask on. We made two dump runs before we ran out of time. Wow, tho, what a difference. I didn’t realize how hard I was working until I went into the bathroom to comb my hair and saw how red my face was. We are both exhausted.

It was a small start, but I walked about half a mile yesterday. That means I’ll need to do it again – and increase it – on Sunday or Monday. I’ll be working really hard Sunday – cleaning out a huge garage at the house we just bought – and that may wear me out. It may even qualify as exercise. We’ll see…
