home alone

by Eli

so here i am. it’s about 11:30pm on xmas evening. i spent last night here by myself as well, and after a FULL day of eating with friends and family, i’m back where i started. overall, i’ve had a wonderful time. sure, it wasn’t what i’m used to, but there’s a first time for everything. this was the first time in 24 years that i didn’t wake up on xmas morning with my family and open presents. instead, i woke up to slater sitting on my back and purring in my ear. so precious. urchin and slater have given me the best present they could possibly give: love and affection. i love those damn kittens so much!

but i haven’t actually been at the house all that much really. i was house sitting up until about 8pm on saturday. i stayed in at the HotBox that night doing some interneting and cleaning the room a bit. i worked all day sunday, watched a movie at the ass chapel with brandon and shane that night, and got home in the early hours of xmas morning. i slept until about 10:30 this morning and went to the cousins’ for xmas brunch. i just got home from that a few hours ago.

the time i have spent here has been great, though: the kittens have been loving the shit out of me, i’ve been having all kinds of me time, and i know exactly who keeps leaving the mess all over the place (me!). of course, i couldn’t do this all the time and i do miss the hustle and bustle that is usually common place around the HotBox, but it’s kind of nice. what makes it most tolerable is knowing that it will all be over soon.
