Bread winner?

Completed day two. It is great. Busy with lots to learn. I have to admit I am very tired at the end of the day. Since September I haven't really performed any physical labor so my body is rebelling. It will take a few weeks to get back into the swing of things.

Because I've had such a hard time warming up since the snow started in Nov. This job is perfect for me. I enjoy loading and unloading the oven. Bread is the main item. Sure there are muffins, pies, and sweets but nothing like the sweet tooth people of North Carolina. In fact it is the exact opposite. In NC we baked very few breads and tons of sweets. Here, lots of bread. OK, I'm repeating myself.

I'm still pinching myself that I have an indoor warm job. The people I work with are very nice and the store is very close to home. Even this morning in a snow storm I made it to work in 5 minutes. Can't beat that.

Now Kirk has to adjust to this new life style. I left him with the job of starting a fire in the fireplace since I had to be at work at 6:00 am. (Saturday I start a 5:00 am) He is glad we have fire starters and that it was windy. (Windy days the fireplace burns just fine). Peaty is not crazy about his new life style. He doesn't like being in the shop but he doesn't really like being in the house alone. He will adjust after a few weeks too.

Still not sure how many hours I will get but every little bit helps. Looking forward to every day.
