Stories for the Grandkids…

So the last few days I’ve been doing some manual labor at the coffee shop; hanging drywall, pulling up carpet, etc.  This has all been rather strenuous.  It’s not that I am not aquainted with such work.  I grew up working with my father doing these things and I have had many jobs that require breaking a good sweat.  But the problem is, after a long day of physical work, I have no desire to sit down at my computer and fulfill my other obligations with the youth group and church.  I’ll literally sit in front of my computer and mess around for an hour or so and get no where.  I’ve been dragging my feet.  I’m only 22 years old and am in the prime of my life yet I feel like I don’t have the energy to get done all that I need to.  Its quite frustrating actually.  Makes me feel lazy and unproductive.  Bottom line is I have a job to do and I need to suck it up and get it done.  Normally my days are filled with productive work and many checks next to things on my to-do list.  But not this week.  Makes me wonder how I’ll handle working 50+ hours a week at the coffee shop, once it opens, and coming home to many things that I must also do at my desk.  We’ll see…
