While I was away my cat fell out the window and landed in a bush with purple flowers. At least we know she lives with the right family; it has been a difficult week.
Two good things: first, taking showers at someone else's house means you can use all the fancy potions they keep in there. I can't recommend using the bar soaps-that is gross-but the sparkling moisturizing body wash and the fruit salad fortified microbead facial and the sea salt exfoliating scrub that feels like scratching itches you didn't know you had. If you are really lucky they will offer you a washcloth and you can just stand there with a hot washcloth over your face and breathe in, out and think about how to get your poems to rhyme or a word for the sound of your friend telling you "I don't know" and how comforting it is.
second, when you get home there are welcome home phone calls.
Home is a very new thing to me; it is important to keep track of what it is like to be home and not home... that way, when I begin to panic at the idea of sleeping in the same bed every night, I can tell myself to shut up. After all, the cat wasn't trying to run away, she was trying to take a nap.
