Hard work and satisfaction

Well, I wasn't depressed when I wrote that last entry, not even a little bit, but it sure looks depressing looking back at it!

Kevin and I headed down and cleaned the garage and packed what would fit into boxes down there, then rearranged to make room for other stuff as we pack it.  He had an errand to run, so I thought I'd start bringing stuff up from the basement.  Boy, we have a lot of crap!

I wasn't going to do it all this morning, just the "storage" type stuff, camping gear, coolers, luggage, etc. off the pallets.  The problem was, the more I got done, the closer I was to being done, so the more I wanted to do!  Brett kicked in and offered to help, and we finished the basement!  Only things left down there are the washer and dryer.

An air hockey table is quite heavy.  When everything else was out of there, Brett and I collapsed the legs on it, then Kevin got home.  PHEW!  I don't think, wait....I KNOW that we couldn't have gotten it up the stairs without his help.  The stairs in this house have a 90 degree turn halfway up.  I swept it clean down there and fixed a tall glass of tea.

My body is tired as heck, but it's so satisfying to finish a tough job.  It's gonna be nice, when we're moving, to have that part done.  Besides, that was a project that Kevin and I were going to do tonight, and now my evening is free.  I can watch C.O.P.S. and fall asleep early.  I have such a wild weekend life.

You are ssssoooo right!  It may be very hard to start a tough or nasty job, but it feels swell to know it is done and behind you.  And the "tired" after hard work is a good tired that allows you to truly rest, while the "tired" from laziness is a nagging hinderance of any real rest.  -  Barbara
