The Ink Stain..

Okay, i have way too much time on my hands today. I am on base in TLF and I do not report until the morning.

Yesterday, i decided to wash a couple of uniform shirts and get them all ironed and clean before the week begins. I threw them in the washer before I went to bed and woke up to put them in the dryer. However, when I removed them from the washer I noticed a pen had been in the washer and now my uniform shirts were covered with huge ink stains. I paniced! I used some spot remover and now have washed and re-washed those shirts five times - without totally removing the stains.

So, today I will need to locate a uniform store on base and buy two new shirts. I so did not want to spend even more money on uniforms! It really adds up over time! I have to be pushing $3K by now and with two more items to buy. However, I know when Iget there I willbuy more than just that.

I think a store is open today. At COT they were closed on Sunday. So I must keep my fingers crossed.

The sad part is that I have washed so many pens over the past two months. This time I checked all my pockets. i don't know how it got passed me!
