Aching Muscles

We were happy that this week we only worked Sunday and Monday night. Next week it is the full 4 days - in a row. I suppose it is normal to feel more aches and pains after the second day of strenuous activity since the muscles haven't had a chance to recover from the first day. We hope so. Last night (early this AM) we were both very sore from the stooping, reaching, walking and standing of the full day. The work is kind of fun though and we don't mind the different hours that we have on this job - at least not yet.

There is no time to go anywhere and see anything on the days we work. The fact that we sleep so late into the day, coupled with the 5 PM start time, doesn't allow it. We will try to do some things this week on our days off that will give us a better appreciation for Kentucky, which we already see as a very nice state. One thing we know is that Abraham Lincoln was actually born in Kentucky and lived his very early years here. We always thought he was born and raised in Illinois - the Land of Lincoln. Anyway, there is a National Historic Site that is not too far from us (30 miles) in Hodgenville, KY. There are other historical sites that we are just now exploring that will make the stay here a memorable one.

The weather has taken some swings here the last 2 days. Today it is raining (.12" so far) and rather warm, whereas yesterday it was freezing. We'll take the rain. It's nice to be looking forward to 3 days of fun. Until tomorrow...
