A month without boys

Much of November has been lonely. The roommate headed out of town first of the month. He'll be back next month.

The Boy has been out of town several times, and has otherwise been busy with teaching some classes, out of town guests, and work. He flies back tonight, but not until very late.

It's been nice to have the house to myself. Nothing but my dishes on the counter, my whiskers on the sink. The Dowager Princess has been free to roam upstairs and down, as she pleases. But the solitude is wearing on me. I need both of my boys to come back and keep me company.
