Since my last entry four months ago, I worked in a warehouse picking orders. I walked roughly seven miles nightly. My shift was 10 hours in duration and I worked four days a week. In addition to the walking (fast paced at that…. I had to pull 138 items per hour to make production) I lifted totes filled with items weighing anywhere from a pound to 20 pounds every 10-20 minutes as I filled two totes with orders and placed them on the conveyor.
During much of this time my dog was living with my cousin so I didn’t walk her. Now she is back living with me and we take two very brisk walks each day following roughly the same route (we change direction once in awhile!) making the round trip about a mile in length. We still have fun!
For me, this means that I have reached my objective.

Since I have to go to FL one of these days (soon), I decided to go to the site and sign up for updates and the schedules. Currently, the shuttle takes off tomorrow and it’s sold out. The next date is in August, which suites my schedule and time just fine. I am unable to tell if the event is sold out or not. It’s not real clear. There is one in May that sounds good too. If I do that one, then I have an excuse to go back to FL in the spring…. hmmmm. Sounds good.

Although I’ve not “settled down” and officially started this project, I am using my blog “Ranting and Raving: A Single Mom’s Story as my “notes” on the subject. My family is full of interesting tidbits and neurotic behaviors and my blog is a way for my to not forget any of their antics!
