Calling Mr. Incredible

L: People.

So MANY perks during AND after. The massive undertaking of purging this house as well as getting ready to install new floors and windows has put me to work daily and I have a new found appreciation (read, I am in awe) of those that perform manual labor (heavy lifting + bending+ pushing+ pulling) on a daily, or even semi-regular basis and still go home to have sex with their partner. That work business is no joke. I feel like I’ve been horseback riding naked on a road in a third world country in the dark. My parts hurt.
