Working Vacation!

So here I am, in Huntsville doing a paint job with the company I work with. We're staying up here, by we I mean myself and 3 forty year old dudes that I work with, they're my brother-friends (meaning we are almost like family but we're friends, and they treat me like their little sister!).

I've been up here for only 2 days so far, and suppose to be here until the 27th where I'm leaving for 3 days to attend a wedding (oh joy, so excited...sarcasm is dripping from me as I type). Of course, that depends on the weather, which is crucial when painting exteriors of 24 townhouses. If rain is the case, I still think I might stay up here! I left Barrie with not such a great experience from a friend of mine being shitty and I like being away from her drama.

It's not so bad up here. We have a great "cottage" that we're staying in. It's barely livable with it's 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, granite kitchen, fireplace, BBQ and porch, but we're somehow making the most of it. I've adjusted to getting up at 6 in the morning and going to bed at 9:30, which I'm sure is something I haven't done since I was a kid!

We've all got our morning and nightly rituals figured out so we're not stepping on each others toes, and having a couple buds to have after-work beers with doesn't hurt. What does hurt though is my back and these bruises that keep on appearing out of nowhere! Ah well, such is life being a painter, I think school started to make me too soft!

I'm taking this "vacation" from Barrie as a personal break from some things...things that I need to figure out, probably before I go back too. I'm sure at some point I'm going to think about these things, but for now...I'm enjoying just working and not thinking about anything other than what's for dinner!!!!
