dirt and hands

Today my knuckles are sore again, just like last Monday. I think I see a relationship here.

Both weekends I shoveled dirt from where it had landed in the creek going downstream to our neighbors (a total waste! They don't even want it!) into a wheelbarrow. And emptied at least two wheelbarrows (or as much as I can move, which is more like 1/2 - 3/4 of a wheel barrow full) of dirt into the flower beds. I can still see low spots in the flower beds... this is going to be a looooong process. T calls this "New House Cross Fit." He is right that it uses lots of muscles...

So it seems like I have the energy on a Saturday to do two wheelbarrow loads. And afterward my knuckles hurt when I try to move them. Last week the feeling had faded by about Wednesday.  I went to a website to see if I have arthritis.... No, probably not. I'm not sure what it is. And why it is my knuckles and not muscles in my back or arms or legs.

Our theatre had the sound up too high. Even with earplugs in, several times I found myself covering my ears. 

But otherwise it was a lovely romp into extremely unlikely violence. I recommend it.
