Our first week of working

We finished our first week of working and only have about 6 1/2 weeks to go until we are finished! Yes, my feet hurt or ached at the end of each shift but by the time I got up the next day they had stopped aching. We were both glad to see Monday night or Tuesday am arrive! We even celebrated by going to eat a donut at 4 AM with Dennie and Karen! Then we went home and went to bed!

Tuesday I really felt for quite a while like a Mac truck had ran over me and forgot to tell me about it! But after moving around the day got better...we fixed some fish for dinner and had Dennie and Karen come over...we were all so tried the evening was short!

We stayed the 3 nights in receiving and we are happen about that...we hope to stay there...... we both have finally gotten the hang of it and like that area and want to stay ...whether they will let us or not is in the air yet Iguess..... we have heard beginning on Sunday night we are to work 11 hours daily...we will see how we handle that!

Wednesday morning, we were up and around early as we decided to go to Chanute because Dennie and Karen wanted to go through the Hitchhiker RV plant. It was a small tour and Bill and I could really tell the difference in a Newmar product and the Hitchhiker..... Just the level of quality was evident for sure! We stopped at Walmart. We drove downtown to a restaurant called Main Street Restaurant...it was very good and we had a great meal. It was in an old hotel/...the hotel had 6 stories and was in an old old building. The downtown was really pretty neat area with lots of old buildings but many were also empty..something we have found very common in this area of the state....
Early evening we decided to have some ice cream so we went to Braum's and had an ice cream.

This morning we got up and did our laundry at the laundrymat. There were 2 other couples there that were also Amazon people and we had a nice visit with them finding out different places they had been and what they are doing at Amazon now....we are all in the same boat.... working to make money and then taking some time off!

I have some ironing to do and it sounds like Bill is napping already! His "daily" job.... taking a nap! :)

So that is about it for now.... 1 more day before we head back to the grind!
Take care
Until next time!
