Yesterday was pretty epic!
Had my second work day and worked around 5 and a half hours this time and was in the sun much longer and feel less tired this time!

Definitely feel like I'm getting stronger and more "used to it", however... It's still so friggin hot. That's my main problem right now... The work itself is physically demanding, but that so far has not been "too much" for me.

I got to use the air blower thingy for the first time and I have to say... It's actually kind of fun. I like it, lol. 
I still am learning how to use it obviously and had a few funny times where I blew dust and dirt and debri back in my face. 

We had some Mexican food afterwards that was so incredibly good... They made me a dope vegan burrito. Also, the salsa was like some of the best salsa I've ever had... Maybe it was partly because I was so hungry, but... Definitely would like to eat there again some day! *drools*

I bought myself a few work items, some cargo shorts which look more professional and some neck face protector thing that will help me keep my neck out of the sun... I think that will help a lot! My buddy bought me a bandana and it helped, though wasn't quite as effective. 

One sort of other funny thing that happened and maybe it's not that funny but, I think it's kind of funny cause I'm such a weirdo... My friend said I did something he would have fired me for if I wasn't his friend. 

I was feeling quite tired and a bit exhausted from the heat and I was super hungry and my stomach was bothering me and I was done with all the work I had to do at that location and I laid down on the ground for a bit and he said that's not good, lol... That you shouldn't be laying down on the job site like that and I can see why... I get it.

So, that's nice to know! Especially since I don't really know what I'm doing. I'll do my best to not do that anymore and as long as I get a warning and understand what's going on I think I should be able to keep learning and improving and getting stronger and doing better hopefully!

The plan right now is to keep working every few days and keep trying to build up my tolerance for the heat and get stronger and... We'll see how it goes... It's still pretty rough and I'm not quite ready for a full 8 hour day in those conditions. 

Hopefully in time I get to the point where I could work a full day in the summer heat, though even if that for some reason doesn't happen I can still work the rest of the year and maybe just do some part time stuff in the summer? 

Anyways... The more I think about it I feel like this is kind of the "opportunity" I've been looking for considering my situation with OCD and everything and how difficult it's been for me to make money... Even doing photography.

It's not just the job... It's my friend. He's helping me to get out of my comfort zone and is challenging me to become stronger and more accomplished and happy in life. 

Me and him have also been talking about some other adventures and potential money making projects and... I feel very grateful that I have someone in my life who is willing to work with me and help me get out of this really difficult place I've been stuck in for so long.

I've been saying for a while that I felt like the two main things holding me back from a romantic relationship and eventually hopefully having a family someday is my OCD and my money issues... And, now with my friends help I am making some meaningful progress in both of those areas. <3 

I feel so inspired and so full of life and I feel like... The future is going to be very interesting and exciting and amazing in a lot of ways if I work hard and don't give up!!!  

Peace friends, hope you have a wonderful day. <3
