Chapter 18: STRETCHED OUT by Hannah Madison

Somebody woke up very early today. Like her body was on Colorado time. Or Alaska, maybe.

Since I woke up so early, I thought I’d do some stretching and floor exercises. More or less what I remember from a P.E. Yoga class when I was a freshman. I thought it would be good for my sore, tired muscles.

I’m not going to deny that Monday at work was sort of miserable, for the most part. My hands were so tired from dragging logs I could hardly move the mouse and my eyes burned from fatigue just looking at the computer screen. Exhaustion has that effect on people.

But the weekend was really good, if you ask me. Everyone had a chance to work closely with each other. And after we left the fire scar site, we had a chance to hang out and build on our new friendships.

Some of us seem to be building a little more than friendships! Not naming names, but I’ll add that I barely saw my roommate by herself the whole weekend.

Emma said that the jet-set lifestyle was a shock to her. It was to me, too. My family did vacation, but most years, it was a car trip somewhere. I think we all felt the edges of ourselves grow. And, if that’s the lifestyle this team is going to have—flying off for some weekend project, money’s not a factor—I’d wager we all have a lot of growing to do.

As for me? I’m hitting up Izzy for a class in Suitcase 101. Her years living on the road as a model definitely prepared her for this sort of thing better than any of the rest of us.

Or… I could copy Noah and go with “bare essentials; repeat once for each day.” That worked for him.

After the exhausting day—highlighted by Will Robetson taking Merritt and me to lunch so we could give him an hour-by-hour recap of Colorado—I crashed right after dinner last night.

Now, I need to start getting ready for work, but I think I have time for another set of stretches first.

Be your best you!
