Non-aching backs and fires
You know, after loading and unloading nearly 2,000 pounds of grain last night, you'd think I would be crippled this morning. Amazingly, my back feels really good! What a relief. I am so paranoid about throwing out my back. A bad back equals a really bad life, in my view.
We were wakened at 4am this morning by the fire department calling for a second alarm - calling Kevin in to work. Kevin is on duty already scheduled today. NO ONE fro the other shift answered their phones all night so they had to call the upcoming shift in, which means he has to work something like 27 hours straight. How wrong is that? I mean, when you sign up for a job like that, you are supposed to be available when duty calls. To me, if you are not willing to go when an emergency arises, you need to go work at Wal-Mart or someplace like that.
t is 7am and I am ready to leave for work, and Kevin still hasn't returned. It makes me worry, even though I amsure everything is fine. You just never know what might happen...I lay in bed at 4am and imagined all these possible scenarios. I tend to over-worry about things, I think!
OK, I have a tiny ache between my shoulders, but that's it! What a great blessing to be strong and to be able to keep myself fit and active. I think I would die if I were forced into inactivity for any amount of time.
2 weeks from tomorrow - Congress equitation! Let's hope Taylor keeps all 4 feet on the ground this year!
Man, where did that tan go? Lost in the month of working all day and having 60 degree afternoons with little sunshine.
Bring on the heat...I miss it!
