Saturday night and I'm too sore to go out....
Yeah, the subject explains it. Today was the worst day of work (physically) so far. I thought it would be easier when we got moved to ferrets and such, but oh no...
First, let me just say that I don't think I have ever gotten up at 5 on a saturday before. At least not to stay up. To get in the car to start a trip or go to the hospital or something like that, but then I sleep again. Not today. For those of you that have never gotten up at 5 on a saturday, I would not advise trying it. Luckily, I get up better at 5 for some reason. I'm no morning person, but apparently my body thinks 5 is still night, so I'm okay. 6-10 is not a good time though...anyhow, not fun.
So we (Chris and I) started on our little furry animal aisle. All was good in the land of rodents and we were getting very good at putting rodent accessories in their proper places, until Steve decided that he wanted to unload all the new palettes of dog beds, kennels, and doghouses. So we get punished/rewarded for our hard work by being sent over to deal with that stuff. We still can't figure out if we did something wrong or what, since the powers that be seem to like us...but lifting 250-300 Ib doghouses over your head to place them on a shelf 9-10 feet off the ground while on a tilting step ladder, isn't my idea as a reward. I have been working out a lot. Really. I mean I have actually surprised myself with the amount of stuff I can lift/move/carry/etc. So I'm not exactly mr. weeny boy anymore. But this stuff was heavy! I actually had a vein burst on my left arm. It went all numb and red and swelly like things with burst blood vessels go.
So yeah, now my arm is slightly swollen and in pain. I decided a nice night with ice on my arm would be the best bet. At least I get to get up at 5 tom and go back to work. Oh well. It does beat staying at home and this way I'm getting my workout before I come home! =D Always a bright side.
