My daughter and I are house/cat sitting for my good friends and we have settled in, much like we did at my brother’s house over Christmas. My friends’ home is exactly like what I am looking for… a small bungalow cottage with a huge front porch and hardwood floors. I love it here and love being back in the city proper, without a half-hour drive each direction to get anywhere.
Last night, another of my good friends came to hang out with us and watch a dvd. I don’t remember the last time I had a friend over to visit, even when I was not living with my dad. It was fun to laugh with her and just relax in a space that already feels like my own, although it is only temporary for a week.
I look forward to the time when a space such as this is my own to call home. I feel excited because it seems it could be just around the next bend…
