One clean, one dirty, and one on. That was pretty much the uniform issue when I wa in the service. In the Navy we had two different dress uniforms, a set of whites and a set of blues worn depending on the season, and three work uniforms. The idea of the work uniforms being that at any given time you would be wearing one work uniform, have one in the laundry, and one clean and ready to wear. That worked pretty well on a ship and saved storage space.

After three months on the road I've been doing laundry since I got home two weeks ago. I reaally miss that old one clean, one dirty, and one on idea about now. Having been out for so long this last time I actually wound up coming home with more clothing than I had left with as I'd had to buy new clothes a few times just to have clean stufff to wear. I had also done some laundry a couple of times while out as well.

I'll be leavng the cold weather clothing at home now. I really don't think I'll be needing it any more for a few months. I'll be taking more shorts this time as well. It really is amazing how much clothing a person needs for a month. That's what I normally take with me, a month's worth of clean clothing.

Ironing. I hate ironing. A large portion of my Summer clothing is cotton. Cotton is just cooler. It also has to be ironed as it wrinles pretty badly. I just spent the last two hours ironing up what needs to be ironed.  No fun. I should buy more permanent press items but have found they tend to be hotter in the Summer than plain cotton items.

I need a maid.
