Tired and sore
So, I took off work today to move a bunch of boxes off my new back porch and some more boxes out of my garage.
We sorted through and parted with many items we will never use again. We donated, we chopped up, and we drove loads of crap to the dumps. I cut worn boxes down and moved lots of stuff into big plastic bins which are much sturdier. I stacked boxes. Lifted boxes downstairs, making dozens and dozens of trips up and down. Before I wrote this, I also went to two classes of Tae Kwon Do. That pretty much squeezed the last bit of moisture out of my body. My muscles are sore. My back is sore. My feet are sore. But I have the glowing feeling of a job well done and all of the activity has left me with a clear mind and peaceful spirit. I’m doing all of this again next week when I open the pool and setup the “fun” part of my backyard. I expect that day to be just as active as this one. The only difference is I’ll get to jump into a pool once it’s all over!
Time to head to bed now and back to my sedentary day job.
UPDATE: 4/7/2008: For some reason, I had insomnia and could not sleep. Go figure!
PS: Oh, and here’s a stupid video just because :
