I’m getting too old for this . . .
OK, so Monday was my birthday. Hubby surprised me on Sunday and had me pick out seats so he could order tickets to see Phantom of the Opera in April! I’ve wanted to see this musical for years and what makes it extra special is that hubby absolutely hates musicals. And that’s the only good thing that has happened in the last few days.
Starting this past Monday I am on moves/removes at work for two weeks. That means that any office moves or removal of pc equipment gets done by yours truly. I’ve twisted my ankle, had laptops chained to desks, had people try to have me move them into a different space than the one they were supposed to move into, I’ve lifted 21″ monitors which feel like they weigh 550 lbs (and this really should be a 2 person lift . . . I’m just saying) and the list goes on. I came home Monday night and had to lay on a heating pad most of the night due to soreness in my lower back. So today I have only one move and one remove that I absolutely have to do. Both are in the largest building on our campus. When I say large I mean that it is 1/4 mile from one end of the building to the other. I have no idea how wide the stupid building is. So I park the van at the end of the ramp (oh yeah, backing down this same ramp yesterday I managed to rip the side mirror right off the company van . . . oops!) and have to walk, er limp, to the other end of the building. The move went smoothly. So I go to pick up “a computer” and it turns out to be 4 computers and monitors and keyboards and mice. I managed to get all of that on my cart and pushed it all the way back to the ramp. By the time I got it all unloaded into the van and then back on the cart when I got back to the shop, my arms and hand hurt so badly. Right now I can hardly lift anything or move my arms at all. I tried playing the piano when I was home but that didn’t work out so well. I’m afraid that I might not be able to knit for several days and I have my last socks on 2 circs class tonight.
Speaking of class, here is a pic of my progress. I’ve had so much fun in this class that I think I’m going to sign up for the toe up sock class.
Well that’s it from my old, tired and sore little corner of the world. Hope you all are having a better week than I am.
