:D I'm so glad! I'm never sure how understandable it is over the net, and sometimes it feels really slow, but it's coming!
Also, the last few weeks it's really felt like dad did all the hard work -- but this evening I loaded in 26 sheets of drywall, so I no longer feel so guilty. It's inconveniently packaged in pairs, which puts 2 half-inch sheets at roughly 90 pounds, since I think I got the 'ultra light' stuff, and the 5/8 well over a hundred. Not that I was moving it by myself, obviously -- at the hardware store I went up to a guy in an orange apron and said "Excuse me, where do I get a brute to help me load drywall?" And he said "I'm the brute!" :P He and I loaded it onto the car, and then into my friend's truck. Once we got it home Xed and Erik helped a LOT -- Nancy and I pulled/pushed it out of the truck, and the guys actually lifted it. Still, that means I did my half of that weight twice, and maybe a quarter of it a third time.
I'm really wishing i hadn't let myself slack off on my little weight program this summer.
