I'm sore. From using my new tiller over the weekend. Oh, I knew I'd be sore in my arms and shoulders, and maybe across my back, but I never expected my stomach and ribs to be sore, too. It's good exercise, I tell ya.
That being said, I did not come home this afternoon and run the tiller. It's too hot. Instead, I spent about 15 minutes working on cutting up that tree I'd had cut down. It's slow going, but I'm making progress. Not as quickly as I'd like, again because of the heat. I just can't stay out in it like I used to.
After that, I picked my next ripe tomato and had a tomato and pesto sammich. It was a smaller tomato, so I was only able to get one sandwich out of it, but it was so good. Then I finished the charity hat I'd started...Saturday, I think. I don't remember.
Knitting is something I've also had to slow down at, because my hands get sore if I do too much at a time. I think that's one reason I like knitting hats so much. They're quick and easy -- and very forgiving. Even if your gauge is off, or you cast on the wrong number of stitches, it's still going to fit someone's head.
In work news, rumor going around the plant now is that The Warden is leaving to go to another company here in town. They're expanding their operations and adding some 400 jobs. I guess he's going to be one of them.
You know your plant has problems when the employee turnover rate is high, but when you've been through five different plant managers in the last seven years...well, something is definitely rotten in Denmark. We've gone through just as many Human Resources directors.
What with all these new factories opening up here in the next few years, somebody needs to figure out something, or that place will go out of business. I just hope they last until I can retire.
Now if you'll excuse me, I found one of my favorite old TV shows on the Roku channel, and I'm going to go watch a few episodes.
Simon & Simon, just in case you were wondering.
Laters.
