(#6055) No work today

      I am usually working on Sundays getting vehicles to the shop for the mechanics to have for Monday mornings. Yet tomorrow is observed Labor Day and as such there will be no mechanics working. So instead of me working today I will work tomorrow which gives my dispatcher a wider variety of possible routes for moving equipment. I am flexible on these situations since I only work two days a week. Two days a week may not seem like a big deal but for me it is because I need the work but also I am worn out after just days work. A sort of love/hate relationship. Eventually in a few years I hope to taper down to one day a week if I am able.
     I have just had 5 days off to do work and chores around the house at my leisure so I am good and rested for the next two consecutive days of work. I work hard all day long when employed so I really do feel the wear and tear of the tasks by the end of each day. Two days in a row will not be too bad for me though as I will pace myself by not trying to do more than I am asked to do. I do anyway but maybe not so feverishly. I bust myself up chuckling to myself as I do try to work very hard regardless of me telling myself to pace a bit now and then. I am a creature of habit when it comes to work so slowing down is antithetical to my nature.
     However I am now a septuagenarian now and as such must take more health related compromises than I would have just a decade ago. I will always push hard when working and although the hard may be a step slower it is still relentless. But today I am going to relax as much as possible so that I can pace myself better over the next two on the job work days. Work around the house and daily chores will not do themselves so I am always still a bit active even when I try to rest and nap as much as possible. My animals love that I am home with them and they follow me around pretty much everywhere so even sleeping is difficult because of their constant much appreciated attention.
