A heavy burden...

[linaewen]

That's the only thing I could think of today as I carted 40 lbs of books -- I swear it was at least that heavy -- to the library. It's about 11 blocks and I felt like a hobbit being made to carry more than his fair share. Ouch, my feet! My knees!

Boromir's voice was in my mind the whole way: "You carry a heavy burden, Frodo..." It was definitely heavy, but Boromir's voice in my head made it a bit lighter. ;-)

Worst thing was, not one of the books was mine! But I was the one with the day off...

Yes, I do rest, now and then, when absolutely necessary, hehe!

maybe you should get one of those pull behind carts that the OLD FOLKS use for shopping...*ducks and covers*

Hey, I'm all for things with wheels when it comes to books - they're dang heavy, and I haul them all the time. Furniture dollies work well, or little rolling backpack things...

So why am I always ending up having things given to me to haul down to the library when all I have is my shoulder bookbag? Must be Murphy.

Can I borrow Boromir to come speak in my head sometime? :-D

Murphy works at my house, too. I would have given any money to have one of those wheelie thingies just then!

I have to say, Boromir in the head did help me put one foot in front of the other! :-D
