First Full Week Over

It seems like our muscles are slowly rebounding from the strenuous work. Our first full week (40 hours in 4 days) is over. The only thing left for us is the 5 hour overtime shift we signed up for which starts at 5 PM today. We probably shouldn't have signed up for it except our goal from the beginning was to make as much money as possible while we are here. The fact that we haven't had a paycheck for nearly 2 months is putting a strain on our budget, so the overtime is welcomed. There will be an opportunity to sign up for a 50 hour week, each week until the end. The committee (Josie and I) is still evaluating whether to do that. We will decide today.

There was a strong thunderstorm that blew through here early this morning as we were getting ready for bed that dumped nearly .5" of rain. The sun is out again this morning and we are amazed at how warm it is this late in November. The high was 74 and the low was 58 yesterday. This Kentucky thing isn't as cold as we thought it would be. In fact, we sweat all the time while we are working when we thought we would be needing long underwear.

We are looking forward to tomorrow and are talking about a trip to Lexington to visit the Sams Club there. We need several items and it would be nice to get away for a day. So far, we haven't had a lot of time to go places - and with overtime, we likely will to be kept close to home...
