this has been a great summer for me so far. so much better than the last couple. 2 years ago in june my boyfriend jasen got in a serious accident racing motocross and and we spent over 2 months at various hospitals... a couple weeks at MassGeneral; a few weeks at MaineMed and then 5 weeks at The Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Georgia. It was the hardest thing i have ever done. last summer was crazy at my job as the director of the rec center here on the island. it sucked in so many ways i don't even want to go there... (however, not nearly as bad as the previous summer)
this summer i have been the happiest i have been in 3 years. most of it has to do with my job. seriously. i deal with smelly bait, grouchy lobstermen and spend most of my time on a float and i love it. i love being outside, feeling strong, and working with my brother in law, stephen and my friend carly. at the end off the day i feel exhausted, i smell like dead fish and my body is bruised, those crates of lobsters feel heavier then 90lbs after dealing with 40th, 50th, 70th of the day. at the end of the day i feel great. like a want to eat a whole cow and run 3 miles and go to bed. who would have thought that happiness can be found on a small float with 50 barrells of dead fish?
