I Ache

For the last several days I have been helping my husband split and move our woodpile. Our winter heating fuel. We have been approaching this in a rational manner...I think. We only work at it for a couple of hours a day and on the days that I go to my day job, we work for less than that when I come home. While I am gone hubby, stacks the wood that we split and moved the day before. He is doing the bulk of the work, but I am standing on my feet for longer than usual and I am certainly tired at the end of the day. I am sleeping very soundly. My muscles ache but the joints are not any worse than ever. Which is a good thing since we have a lot of work still ahead of us.
