Thanks Lou x
I have often thought a modern apartment like yours would be better. Probably full of business professionals out during the day. As far as I know my neighbour works very part-time in the evenings.
It is a shame you say you have ruled out friendships though
Could you maybe get in touch with a few sex workers in your area and meet up over a coffee or something? Don't mean to give unwanted advice or anything, just I know how it feels to be lonely in this line of work. I used to go stir-crazy until I told a couple of existing friends and met a few fellow sex workers.
The 2-5 a day plan is going quite well so far (hope I didn't just jinx myself there!). I start off at a maximum of 5, then reduce the number to see that day if I see/hear evidence of neighbours in/around. So for example, if her house is quiet and no lights on etc when I get there in the morning, I will take advantage of that and see more clients as she will be out for the day, but if it looks like she is going to be in and around that day (ie lights, voices, seeing her hang washing out, short errands) then I reduce it to 2 ish. I am aware this "formula" and stalking of the neighbour may make me sound a bit paranoid and OCD
