Moving Coal, Taking Two Days Off

Loading coal this year felt like some kind of ordeal...

I used to break out in cold sweats just from standing too long, but before I was even halfway done, I was already completely wiped out...

Now, besides exhaustion, I also felt nauseous, like I was about to throw up, dizzy, and muddle-headed.

Even while showering just now, I was hit by intense vertigo, like I could collapse at any moment...

But no matter how awful I felt, I still had to do this job myself...

I took today and tomorrow off. These six thousand jin of coal felt like they were taking half my life...
