Summer is here on the outer banks and the season is starting to ramp up. Employees quit and I have to hire more, a never ending cycle of training. They had no returning staff this year so everyone is new, everyone is learning- and that makes for tough shifts some days. But I think so I'll be set and the rest of the season should be smooth. I worry about the days I will have to take off- days for Maggie's baby being born... days for court in Florida... It's going to be rough, I think. But, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
I've had some decent conversations, sharing my life with a youngster. So that's been good. Telling her of the magic that doing what's right even when you don't want to, the magic that that creates. Then the loss of magic when you choose otherwise. Basically I have adopted much of my staff as my children. They are for the most part all 19-20 years old, so I have to teach them about life and the real world of working.
On my one day off per week I've been struggling coming up with something to do. This working 80+ hours per week gets you in a routine that you forget how to live, you only know how to work. Especially yesterday when it rained all day, I was at a loss. I couldn't even go to the beach.
I got my visa to visit Australia. That's super exciting. I cannot wait. It's still 6 months away, but time will go fast. And the count down has begun for my 30th birthday. So weird. I'll literally be 30. Mind blowing.
I miss being active and I miss life on the water, but this season won't last forever and I'll have my adventure soon. Summer on the coast of Australia. Yep. That's happening. :) :)
