Today I worked for a friend of mine doing light construction-- mason tending, tile grouting, fence mending, and other such fun labors. It's hard work, but it's pleasant in a way. I'm sure it helped that I had a protein shake before I went in and I kept myself hydrated all day. My hands ache a little and I definitely blistered one of them but other than that I had a great workout. When I came home Tina saw me coming up the walk and said I looked very masculine. I said "I'm exhausted and covered in filth." She said "Oh, yeah, that must be it." :)

I work again on Tuesday. Tomorrow I rest.
