saving the world one box at a time: a recap of the week

number of days i was excited to work as a runner: 1
number of days i stuck to my exercise routine: 1.5
number of days i did the dishes and cleaned our house: 0
number of cities we worked in: 5 (orem, payson, spanish fork, cedar hills, pleasant grove)
number of trucks we worked in: 5 (3 different budget rentals, 2 different ups trucks)
number of snowstorms we delivered in: 1 (yeah--the storm with ice pellets whipping at you with 20mph winds)
number of times i bit the dust (ice): 1 (boy was that painful!)
number of times we got stuck in the snow: 1 (david was backing down a driveway and accidentally went off the driveway a little bit, which got us stuck on an incline before dropping off into a shallow ravine...we tried shoving weeds and our jackets under the tires to get us out, but that got us further stuck...good thing the owner of the house got home and let us use his chains to get out!)
number of milligrams of medication: 4320 (3000mg ibuprofen, 1320mg aleve)
number of times i had to catch myself from saying a bad word: mmm....probably 15-20
number of times i emphatically said "i hate boxes!": 1 (but i thought it a lot more than that!)
number of a's i got last semester: 5 (an a in all my classes!--my gpa raised from 3.85 to 3.91!)
number of dogs i encountered: 3 (all were nice)
number of times i washed the clothes i wore all week: 0 (don't worry, i did change my socks and underwear every day)
number of showers i took: 9-10
number of blisters: 2
number of boxes delivered and doors knocked on: no clue
number of times i will willingly and happily run for ups again: 0

don't let anyone tell you being a ups driver is exciting and fun and an easy job! i've learned firsthand what david goes through on a daily basis--at the end of it all, i have two things to say: 1. i am never doing it again, 2. whatever david wants, david gets. if i can make his life that much easier, i'm going to.

*amendment: david and i make a really good team, and we work really well together. we like each other and love each other, so we love to do things together. although i may not have completely enjoyed being a runner, i loved being able to hang out with david and work together.
