So I havent posted in a few days...
So I started work today. And damn if I dont want to go back. Toughest day in my life I swear. And its not just because I am no longer in perfect shape. Its because of what I had to do....
Okay, so I'm working this summer at my eldest bro's glass installation shop (automotive windows, shower doors, windows, etc), so I thought I'd you know be working with glass. WRONG. Today was spent repaving his driveway by myself...BY HAND!!! I mean, who has a 19 year old kid pave an entire driveway by hand in 90 degree weather with massive humidity? For 9 hours!!!! I suffered from both massive dehyrdation and overhydration at the same time!!! I had to haul these 60 lb bags of driveway sealant up a giant hill and crap, which was fine for the first five but by the time I hit bag seven I was DEAD. I totally ruined my brand new workboots with tar, along with a pair of nice jeans and one of my few white tshirts (which is totally DESTROYED now). Ugh...dunno how i'm gonna do it tomorrow. I cant even close my hands right now they're so stiff and sore. Who knew I could get so many blisters on my hand? And when i hold my hands up, they shake uncontrollably. I had 2 10-minute spasms where i totally lost control of my arms today, and I think I sprained both of my wrists to boot. Oh well, if I survive this summer I am going to be RIPPED. I just wish I didn't have to be popping painkillers like no ones business to drown out the pain. I mean, my hip joints are killing me, as is my left shoulder (the shoulder that I've always had issues with since that ski accident). I dont want to go in tomorrow, but I still have to finish the driveway and then weedwack the shrubs away that fill the driveway's edges. Should be easier though, since I'm nearly done. At least next week I get to actually go on jobs and do glasswork. :)
So I came home after that at around 5:30. Took a shower to wash off the tar that COVERED me and then just crashed on the couch for a few hours. Watch the new Pink Panther and then the Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Awakening. SUCH a bad movie. Horribly cliche and not a horror at all. I swear, its like they only focused on the gore to try to compensate or something!
Chatted for another long spell with Meaghan tonight. The more and more we talk, the more I find myself digging her. No, not crushing, just digging. She's got a lot of potential for something though, I'll say that. Who knows, maybe something'll happen when I come back in the spring. Damn my timing. I'm also getting better at the flirting, Kels says so. And thats a huge thing for me, considering my attempt this summer to become more assertive and less of that old, over the top romantic, shy Dave. I'm well on my way. :)
Anyways, I'm hookahing now and talking to my favoritest person ever! (Of course its you Kels). Nice to be chattin w/ her again. I just wish I didnt have to go to bed at midnight to get up again at 6:30 to work again. Gonna be a longgg day tomorrow. But at least after that, I have until Monday to recoup. And then this weekend I'm definitely doing NH. I just hope Kels can come up and partake. But whatever, I'll busy myself if she doesnt. It'd be nice though... (hint, hint Kels).
Ok thats enough of a spheal. Later gaters,
