a Sore Puppy

ever hear that saying a SORE PUPPY? well, that's me today. Today I decided to do a 375 paper route myself. That's 7 routes: 3 foot routes and 4 motor routes all myself. Yikes! Well, at least I know I can do it by the deadline time of 5:01p.m. --that was my finishing time when I threw my last paper, laugh. But I tell you what, my wrists and Left elbow is so sore and hurting and I'm so tired.....I'll be heading to bed shortly here.

Come March - I'll be dropping probably the roughest foot route we have. It takes alot out of someone who isn't in shape. Its constant in and out of the car to drop papers in between doors and on porches. Its an apt complex with elderly folks and they simply want their papers in the doors and mailslots, like delivering mail......wore me out!
Good exercise I learned.

I did have a funny story to tell about todays foot route at that same complex. Here goes.........I decided to do the route backwards thru the apt. complex simply because most of the in and out of the car would be on my side if I go backwards, so I wouldn't have to cross in front of the car etc. So, of course the complex is setup ONE WAY......but our past training session (the lady who trained us) told us she goes backwards and if someone mentions going the wrong way - they know your delivering papers no big deaL. As I was almost done, some older gentleman and his wife was passing me by and he yelled out his window (quite ugly too) THIS IS A ONE WAY, YOUR GOING THE WRONG WAY! I turned around and just ignored him, but watched them pull in to their parking space and she went inside, he proceeded to head my way -with his cane in hand, not going fast, but heading my way and towards the office buiLding. I figured he was going to report me, no big deal who cares.........I got in my car and headed towards him standing along the road and he stopped waiting for me, I immediately put my window up ---and as I passed him I thought you cranky old' man, and gave him the biggest smile and waved..........guess I was being smart to him and he shot me the finger!!!!! Immediately I laughed.......gosh, he must have been at least 80 yrs old and gave me the finger!!!! Dirty old man..but a funny story.
He never made it to the office building as I looked in my rear view mirror he headed back to his aptt.............what a funny story, I think it was.

Well, heading to bed early tonight, I'm so sore.............have a good night!
