About a week and a half ago, Mark and I bought some cheap knee pads at Walmart.  They’re already nearly paper thin.  There are times when I get down on the floor looking for the places others are reluctant to stow things and I crawl from shelf to shelf.  Tonight we went back to Walmart and bought a more expensive pair that should last through the rest of this job.

Last night I could barely walk when I got home, so I took a prescription strength ibuprofen and two Tylenol before I went to bed.  It worked!  Today I was still aching, but I wasn’t in a lot of pain, if you understand the distinction.  I think I’m also beginning to build up more stamina.  If our evenings didn’t already feel so short, I could probably even volunteer for the 11th hour, but I won’t.  😉
