Tis the season and I won't be jolly...

I've been mighty busy at The Garden Centre the last few weeks. And it's freakin' killing me!

November 1st we were tearing down the outside Halloween displays. This mostly consisted of hauling wet straw bales to the dumpster and disposing of the leftover unsold pumpkins.

Over the first week of November we started preparing for the Christmas season by setting up large wooden structures that resembled crosses, for displaying the Christmas trees we'll be selling. Then we had to sort through the orange spaghetti of outdoor lighting cables and nailing them up.

Then came a tree delivery to unload. 400 trees! None of which had anything at all to do with Christmas. Pear, Magnolia and Birch to name a few. Each with a large heavy dirt ball surrounding the roots.
Two days later another delivery. About 100 evergreens with similar heavy dirt balls.

This week we got the first of the Christmas tree deliveries. About 200, no dirt balls so they weren't very heavy. Just awkward and prickly. And the sap, my god, superglue isn't this sticky!

Yesterday our tree vendor brought us an additional 200 Christmas trees which they had loaded up in our company box truck. It seems the city and the neighbouring one order about 100 trees each, for their city centre displays every year.

Guess who got to walk along side a moving box truck, pickup and put each tree next to it's appropriate set of mounting stakes as his supervisor dragged them out of the back door? Of course, it was also the day I had to work the evening at The Deli.


Today, I spent most of the day raking leaves. I had hurt my back so bad that walking was very painful and difficult. I think I was using the rake more to stop me from falling over than anything else.

A Merry Christmas? At this rate of physical abuse on my body, I might be dead by then.
