Calendar Girl Blog: May Two Four, Day Three

As further study of the Canadians relationship with the first long weekend of our summer experience, Calendar Girl will comment on the final day of our three day celebration.

You can be sure that the following physical symptoms are manifesting in many of our finest citizens today.

1. Blisters. Mostly on hands, and occasionally heels. From grasping rough handled gardening implements with the 'grip of death.' Or, in the case of foot blisters, from sporting gardening footwear that is rarely worn and never fit well in the first place.

2. Very sore lower backs. From hauling dirt, rocks, compost, sod from trunk to yard and then here and there. The thrill of gardening wipes out the well known wisdom of 'how to lift and carry' properly.

3. Sunburn. Lily white flesh meets bright but not hot sun. Brain believes 'only hot burns.' Brain is wrong.

4. Destroyed manicures. Even with gloves.

5. Hangover. Can be blamed on a number of external causes. But mostly the pain can be boiled down to math. The number of drinks consumed, over a set period of time, exceeded your bodies ability to process the booze.

So there you have it. May Two Four via a blog.
