I Need To Move Back to Civilization

Oh dear Lord the drive to work is epic. I lay in bed and dread the actual drive into the office. And when I am in the office I dread the drive home. I even stay late at the office to ensure I do not get stuck in any traffic. I drive by at least three schools. And a dozen church's. Wednesday night Bible study is a killer. No matter when I leave the office it is an hour and half drive home.

When I get close to home there are only a couple bars to hang out at. One is relatively cool, except someone has "censored" the juke box. So no songs with any type of cussing or sexual innuendo. That may not seem like a big deal....except all songs have some cussing and lets face it - everything has to do with sex. So the beer is good, the crowd is cool....but the music is horrible. There is the bar across the street from this one - we have nic named it "The Cave". The Cave is a vacuum of space and time. You have no idea what day it is in there, nor the time, nor the season, nor anything. For some reason The Cave removes all responsibility and only insanity ensues there. This place can only be visited VERY infrequently. The last bar on the way to the house...well, it is a grave yard. The oldest people in all of Georgia hang out there. They all ask me where I moved from to be there.....I tell them. Every response so far has been "Well that was dumb. Where you lived before is way better than this." Thanks guys, like I needed you all to tell me this.

Here is another kicker about living out in East Bumble. NO LIQUOR STORE. I am not sure if you understand this but there are NO LIQUOR STORES. AT ALL. PERIOD. NONE. I can get beer or wine at the grocery store.....which is fine. Except I hate grocery stores and just about everyone in them. But sometimes you want a cocktail. Now I have to plan ahead. Buy it on my epic drive home. Which to me is dangerous because I am so tempted to start drinking while in the car. I have not but it is tempting.

I miss my single girl apartment. I miss living in civilization. I miss my old life. :(
