As we grow older, we all seem to have a fear or two. Mine has always been falling down and not being able to get up ..... yes, just like the commercial. I just have known many older people who can't get up when they fall, so about ten years ago I started sitting on the floor every day and getting up...so I knew I could.
Well, with this job at Amazon.com I have no doubts as I kneel down or squat 50-60 times a day/night. I sure am building up some thigh muscles! And carrying around a 2-3 pound hand scanner for 10 hours not only has built forearm muscles, but also is making for some sore thumbs from holding it up and squeezing that trigger thousands of times a shift.
Our hot water heater went out last weekend. The seams rusted out. The former owners never changed the anoid (sp?) rod. We did change it when we bought it but rust damage had already occured. Thankfully we have Good Sam's Continued Service Plan and for $300 a year it covers that kind of thing. So luckily there is a certified RV repairman amongst the workampers here and Dennis ordered us a new water heater. He installed it this morning and oh, did that first really hot shower feel good. You there in your stick and brick houses don't realize what a luxury you have in hot water. We flip a switch and wait a while to get hot water. Most times I just heat water on the stove to wash dishes.....kind of like always camping.
Well, today is our fifth, ten hour night and now it is time to go to work for the final time this week. Yippeeeeee!!!!!! Think we will go to Bartlesville, Oklahoma on Monday just to get out of town for a while.
Remember - you are loved!!!

You are SOOOO funny! Bobbie, that sounds just like you: to sit down on the floor each and get back up, just to make sure you can. Thanks for making be LAUGH!
