I washed clothes today. Not unusual, since I am not allowed to go to work in the nude. But as I was folding them, I noticed.......... they are the same clothes that I wash every damn washday! Why? Because I only change them once a day. I get up, take off the jammies, put on my work clothes and head off down the yellow brick road. (Or in my case, the black/gray cement, tarmac or whatever it is.) I work. I come home, get my shower, put on my jammies. On the rare day that I don't work, I might put on shorts and a tee shirt. Or sweats, if its cold.

When I go to the store, I do so in the clothes I wore to work, because I stop on my way home. Once I unlock my door from the outside and walk into my apartment, I lock the door on the inside. I' m done for the day.

Do I go out with the girls after work? No. Do I date? No, Hell No. I work. Period. From 9:30 in the morning until 7 or later at night. For a salary. No overtime, no comp time. I'm a dedicated worker. Or so they say. I'm too tired after my day to have any kind of night life. Except my computer. I live on it. lol

I used to have a life. Do I miss not having one? Yes. I would love to go for a drive, stop for a burger, see a movie, anything. Besides not having the energy, I don't have the desire at present. I think I am more focused on getting bills paid, so I can move back home. I could move back tomorrow, but my kids did not make my bills, and therefore they will NOT help me pay them. And they would try. God Love Them, they would try. So, in two months my car will be paid off. After the new computer I want to buy, I will take that money and apply it to the other bills. Hopefully in two years, they will all be paid, and I can go back where I belong.

OR, I can look for a job at a sister facility. There are several I'm checking on every week. Close to home. I even thought of applying at a Convention Center or such. I enjoy that part of my job. I deal well with the clients, and I listen to their needs. However, I will find one. And then I will move home.

And then, just maybe, I can have a life. And a more diverse load of clothes to wash!
