We both recovered quite nicely overnight Friday, and walked to work Saturday morning with great optimism. We wondered if we had finally gotten over the proverbial 'hump' physically and mentally. By the end of the day the question had been answered for me....yes! I felt good physically, and my brain had not turned to much by 5 pm. That is a first for me. TLE reports she felt good all day long, also, but admitted to a couple of 'brain freezes' late in the shift.
The long workdays have really come down to visiting at breaks and lunch with good friends, and a lot of laughter, and that as much as anything else is what gets each of of through one 10 hour shift after another.
Saturday was a continuation of Black Friday with lots of work, and a lot of people moving hither and yon throughout our one million square foot facility....each with a specific purpose without which it would all grind to a halt. There are the mostly unseen people who keep the conveyors conveying, the large semis rolling, the air moving, and the computers humming sending out one 'pick' order after another. Without these, and many others we are just a lot of people wandering aimlessly around the interior of a large concrete building with no purpose.
When we exited the concrete bunker late Saturday afternoon, the sun was just setting over the Campbellsville water tower reminding us that within a few days we will be walking home in the dark, just like it is when we walk to work each day.
While I queued up a couple of recorded shows to watch TLE prepared Chicken Alfredo Fettuccine for dinner.....OMG! What a great dinner! The Alfredo sauce was to die for! TLE never 'mails it in' when it comes to food preparation, and for that I am eternally grateful! We watched 'God Rush', and then another English Premier soccer match between Tottenham and Chelsea with Tottenham winning 3-1....another great performance by Harry Kane and Dele Ali! We were off to dreamland a little after 8 pm as is our custom each night during our work week.
