Heavy Lifting

It was chilly last night. I got out my down comforter and wished the cold air wasn't coming in through the vents in my window air-conditioner. In past years, including this spring when I put it in, I have depended on my brother in law to lift it into and out of the window for me and put it into storage. This morning, I moved some furniture out of the way, lifted it out of the window with my very own muscular arms, and carried it out to the trunk of my car to put it into storage. Not only could I lift and carry it with relative ease, but I knew ahead of time that I'd be able to. It's nice to be aware of my own strength.
