No rest for the wretched


I had an idea to record the progress of our work here, but I’d forgotten how tiring physical work is. Baby arrives in 4 days … I’m trying to prepare her … telling her to imagine the worst case scenario. This is addictive … a project … a long-term project. My body feels great though … I walk down the street, all dusty and taught, like I could kill anyone. What hurts most, interestingly, are my forearms and hands.

You really do have your work cut out for you there. Makes me want to go home and get obsessed with yard work. Sweat. Dirty hands and clothes. Violence (against weeds and overgrown bushes). Control and order in at least this one place. Yeah, I'm going home early today and physically exhaust myself!
