My Monday morning routine is waking up at 4:00 AM, showering, putting on my work clothes, gathering my remaining loose items not already stowed in my Jeep, namely my toiletry bag, computer bag, my cooler with my frozen prepped meals, and my two co-pilots, Little Miss and Buddy, toasting a bagel and be out of the house around 4:30 AM to begin the three-hour drive down to Moses Lake and be to work by 8:00 AM.
Fridays are somewhat similar; I generally gather my dirty laundry at lunch, close up my fifth-wheel and take the dogs with me to work around lunchtime. I’m usually able to get off work around 6:00 PM and then it’s a three-hour drive home to Winthrop.
I don’t mind this situation for the most part. What I dislike most is being away from Tiago and our other two furry-children, but I’m back in school and all I do Monday through Friday is go to the gym, work, study, and sleep – that’s it. No social life down here in Moses Lake whatsoever. And, since I plan on going onto get my MBA in the fall, I expect this to be my normal routine for the next two years.
