You know, while working, there is an overkill, and there is The Overkill.
Today I experienced the last one. Usually, Sundays are days for lazying away, but not this time, because my brother decided to exercise his sadomasochistic tendencies, and dragged me out to sawing and putting away the logs.
Urgh. And ick.
Nine hours of working, him sawing the logs, me gathering 'em and putting 'em away. Really, warmth in winter months has a high price, and what's more, you have to pay it with work in spring, so to say even before autumn comes. I don't know what out neighbors thought about the whining of the saw, but luckily no one complained... too much.
Ick, ick, ickitty ick - I am feeling dirty from all that sawing dust and sweat. /shudders/.
Good news, we put away a little more than a half of the logs, from that one quarter is already stored, and the second quarter waits to be stored - and luckily, my right wrist held on through all the torture I put it through - seems the wrist bonds are on a way to mend from the incident from the four years ago when I broke my wrist. There are small pains still, but nothing that a good massage wouldn't get in order. Honestly, I am positively surprised, because some of those logs were darned heavy, and I was throwing 'em as if they were boomerangs or lances. Brother can count himself lucky my aim was far away from him /teasing smirk/, but last year I had to throw even heavier logs, even if not with such a tempo I had the today ones.
Tomorrow, someone will be loco enough to finish the work, Dunno if I will participate, but if I will, I'll at least try to drag one another with me - AKA my brother.
Weather today held - sunny, with almost summer temperature, and if tomorrow will be the same, then we are in for a small hell.
Mom once again did the stupid and went on bending when her spine is paining her. I so wish I could have twisted her ears.... Really. She should have known better. /sweatdrops/.
The only one who lazed away was my father. Lucky sod. /snorts/.

Going under shower to wash away the ickiness.
