Tired arms

Ok, I have a new appreciation for the mortar and pestle.  I spent many hours today grinding up rock hard clay into a fine powder to ship out for some tests.  My arms and hands are very tired now.  But it made me wonder how the ancient people did it.  Or how people do it now, grinding corn and stuff to make flour.  It’s kinda crazy!  But, I’m building some interesting muscles I’m sure.  My biceps are already much more toned than before, along with my forearms.  It feels good, even though my muscles are annoyed.  lol

Thankfully, tomorrow is friday.  I need to work 9.75 hours to make 40 hours for the week, which means a 15 minute lunch and working from 8 to 5:30.  That means I don’t get home until around 6:15, but maybe that will be better since I found the best route home today.  It’s not easy to find low traffic streets in Austin, but it is possible if you’re sneaky.  lol

Oh, and a random thing.  Some guy sent me a message asking me if I wanted to join the American Legion.  I’m really hesitant because I’m really not like a lot of vets.  And I feel a bit weird since I think of the American Legion as people who fought in wars, which I didn’t do.  I think I’d rather join the Marine Corps League if I had the time.  So we’ll see.  I really don’t have the time to consider any options anyway.  Not while working over 55 hours a week.

Ok, time for a shower and bed.  Maybe I can hang out with Carrie for a little while longer before going to sleep.  But I really want sleep since I don’t drink my ginseng tea anymore unless desperate.  It threw my body into a heat condition, causing my weird cycle this month.  And since I don’t drink coffee, it’s all me.  I’ll just have to get better with energy management.
