The Day of Labor

Today was supposed to be the day of labor. I, however, did no labor! I did lots of labor over the weekend. I helped Josh's parents put up half of our privacy fence. I used an auger, a post hole digger, and a hammer. My right arm hurt a little but my muscle is now bigger. I had a blister on my right pointer finger which is almost gone now. I also learned a valuable lesson about Louisville: never dig post holes during a dry season. The dirt was so hard and powdery. It took twice the amount of time it should have to dig one post hole. We put about 10 post holes and it took us 5 or 6 hrs. Needless to say I was glad for the rest today.

It was nice to have Josh's parents here. Josh and I showed them the victorian houses, brick streets, and beautiful architect of the city. We found a really great pizza place which is slightly over priced but I must say the best pizza I have every had. A small veggie pizza was $26. We visited the Falls of the Ohio which is a national park that shows that this area was once a sea.

My week ahead will be filled with the usual work and my daily workout routine. I will also be bathing Sahara, finishing my laundry, and sewing a husband (cushion) for Josh's classroom.

In the month ahead, I have high hopes to find a part time job and better full time job. My parents, Grandma, Aunt, and Uncle will be visiting at the end of the month to celebrate my Grandma's 83rd (I think) birthday.

Happy week to all!
