Tonight is m first night in my parents' home alone. They're both in Cyprus still and I've been otherwise sleeping at m friend's house. It's not being alone which bothers me, I quite like the freedom of being able to skip around in pjs or to use the loo/shower without setting up armed guards outside the door and having to roar "IN A MINUTE" when someone knocks on the door for the 5th time. I just like bathrooms, they're good for contemplating. Even if I'm not actively doing anything, sitting there/standing under hot water lets your mind flow! My parents dont' understand this.. my mother smugly tells me that her showers take 3 minutes and she even turns the water off between soap stages. I then reply that I'd prefer to feel clean than efficient.
Anyway, unfortunately, Tilly the tiger-in-training is on holiday at my brother's flat down the road so I don't even have her for company. She likes sleeping next to humans, or preferably on top of their face which is fine until you breathe in her tail and choke or she kneads your inconsiderately bumpy skull with her epidermic claws. Her favourite game is chase the toes whch involves lots of tail swishing and resulting in a dive bomb towards innocent footies and clinging onto them by anchoring her claws in emulation of Wolverine from x-men.
Point is, she's not here and even she would be nice to have around. Hope I get to sleep quickly so that I don't have to pretend my pillow is an unsuspecting nocturnal victim.
