Progession of tiredness

On finishing leaflet bundle #1

… that wasn’t so bad at all.  There was hardly anything in that bundle.  I can do this all day if I have to.

On finishing leaflet bundle #2

… hey, still not so bad.  I’ll be home well early today. Maybe I will have the energy to tidy the house after all.  I’ll just go and have a wee bit of lunch and a sit down.

Halfway through leaflet bundle #3 it hits you

… oh, my legs and feet.  I can’t drag my weary self around another street, let alone another do hundred leaflets, I’d better take five minutes to drag my sorry soul to the garage around that corner for a can of coke and packet of paracetamol.

On finishing bundle #3

… can I really do four bundles in one day?  shall I go home and return tomorrow to do the last bundle?  Or is it better just to get it out of the way now?

On finishing bundle #4

… relief. Tiredness.  Legs and feet ache (must get new insoles for boots).

Have to do this again and again, three times a week at least for the next eight weeks. Oh dear, oh dear.
