after today I can make a strong argument for making a living doing something that involves some kind of physical labor, rather than sitting in a chair talking to people like my current excuse for a "job" entails.
I mean, I'm fucking exhausted and probably shouldn't have exerted myself as much as I did in this kind of heat... BUT, I began the pool demolition today, and I haven't felt tired in a GOOD way like this for the longest time. see, I have trouble motivating myself into physical activity for it's own sake - if I don't see a PRACTICAL reason for it I won't do it just because (i.e. before I started working at home I used to cycle to work when weather permitted due to our lack of a vehicle - but the exercise was just an added benefit)... so having a "goal" or "purpose" like "hey, someone's gonna PAY me for doing this" might just be the ticket.
not that having a good reason to smash shit repeatedly with a hammer doesn't have it's own rewards, mind you

If I don't actually have to do it, than I won't.
I.E. I own a pool, last year I didn't go in it much, so this year I decided to not put it up, but now I really really wish I did but I keep telling myself its too late in the season now.
