FIGHT THROUGH THE PAIN!!!

Thursday, May 28, 2009

Well my body has been further beaten apart but this time it is from my job. I had to unload a 40ft trailer with 1300 to 1500 rolls of fabric. They each must have weighed at least 50-60 pounds each. Not to mention we had to carry them several feet from inside the trailer to the pallets they were being sorted on. By the time my co-workers and I finished, we were all beaten to a pulp. By the end of the shift, I was almost unable to walk. I feel proud of myself though for finishing through it withou

All this work for $10.50, not worth it at all. This makes me appreciate getting an education and being able to be more selective with my career path.

Needless to say, I didn't need to work out yesterday and today I wasn't feeling any better. Especially my arms and shoulder were hurting quite a bit. I don't find the pain to be so debilitating anymore. In fact, the pain is making me feel more alive than ever, if that makes any sense. I guess I mean that it make me feel like I have actually done something with my life rather than sit around playing World of Warcraft and partying up with friends.

I've been living a humbler life since I have come home. I haven't gone to any bars at all and I haven't really drank alcohol. I've been active working and I come home and relax all night. I haven't seen the majority of my friends here but I know I will see the people that count in my life eventually. I'm way more focused on finding a job in Florida in order to get out of here earlier than expected. I might have found something but I am crossing my fingers that its real.

I don't know what else to say except that even though my body is broken my spirit is better than ever. I will continue to work out and hopefully put myself in a better situation!

    I know the sore-but-good feeling - it really is different to have your muscles aching because you accomplished something, as opposed to because you slumped in front of the computer all day.

Good luck with the Florida job!
