I went from being the roommate who spends too much time at home to the invisible roommate. Most days I came home from work around four thirty, took a shower, got dressed, got my bag together and left around six fifteen for Yonatan's. My time with Wassim and Majdi was cut down to the rare weekends when we were off together and didn't go home which happened around once every two months.
Occasionally, I still considered quitting on Yonatan. I really didn't need the money. My social worker salary was enough to live on and the caretaker money went completely untouched. I did not feel the need to save up at the time, though, I had no plans for the future. The thought of the long hours in the apartment waiting for Majdi and Wassim to come back from work, was what convinced me not to quit.
