Manual labor. Who would have thought it felt so good!
Rocks in my socks
blistered thumbs
sweaty brow
spintered hands
breathing dust
sore muscles
aching back
dead bugs under my nails
...and loving every minute of it! Eleven straight hours of hard physical work couldn't wipe the smile off my face. I am just so happy to be working. I feel so alive with the sun on the back of my neck, pickaxe in hand, dirt in my eyes, sipping over-chlorinated water so cold it gives brain-freezes. I wasn't even phased when my rake unearthed a long-dead squirrel. I just thought, that rodent is paying my phone bill. :)
And when the theatre season starts up again in the fall, I will have a new appreciation for the work that I do, knowing what I went through during summer and what some men go through year round.

The new job is landscaping, ferret.
A far cry from puppetry, but I was lucky to find a job at all. I really do enjoy it. It's interesting to do something so manly after wiggling dolls for a living. It's only for the summer, until the children's theatre season begins again.

3rd day of work.
I am in pain, folks.
I am still happy, mind you, but OUCH! Flowers_from_Safeway aches from petals to stem. No_longer_damn_scared just damn_sore.
Pass the Icy-hot.
