Reflection and Study.

Today is my day of cleaning and EMT studies as well as still soar from last week. I did a little figuring and came up with a one week long equation of disaster. It all starts with a grueling cyclocross race which not only plays on the mind but the body suffers greatly as well. Fill the next day with cleaning, wheel building, and studies. Turn the next day into 4 hours of digging and the rest of it planning. Then comes day four: sit on a mini-excavator for 8hrs along with getting on and off. The next day turns into the first of the trailer loads. First is to empty the trailer of 1300lbs of sheetrock and demolition debris. Then come back home and fill it with another ~1000lbs of stumps and bush trimmings and take them out to the grandparents burn pile. Then come back and clean out the ditches and load the trailer with 1160lbs of concrete. Now to the next day, finally. This day was a rainy day and emptying the trailer and researching supplies were all that were done. Now for the seventh day; just clean the house and take a bunch of measurements in the bathroom. This does not sound that bad. But now let’s add in that not much real physical labor has been done in a while, the gym has not been in the daily activities, and bike riding has been hit and miss. Then through in there that you go on a bike ride the day after this disaster week. So this should be a lesson to all of us: “Just because you slim down, and appear to be in decent shape, be aware.”

  1. The term "Sabbath" derives from the Hebrew shabbat (שבת), "to cease", which was first used in the Biblical account of the seventh day of Creation (Genesis 2:2-3). Observation and remembrance of Sabbath is one of the Ten Commandments (the fourth in the original Jewish, the Eastern Orthodox, and most Protestant traditions, the third in Roman Catholic and Lutheran traditions). Most people who observe Biblical Sabbath regard it as having been instituted as a "perpetual covenant [for] the people of Israel" (Exodus 31:13-17), a sign in respect for the day during which God rested after having completed the Creation in six days. ; Sabbath desecration was originally officially punishable by death (Exodus 31:15).
