Polska
Anyone else remember that time Katya up and left to freaking Poland for like two months and then came back with a freaking tattoo??? What is up with that.
That time I took over Apt. 201
Katya left in late February and I took over her apartment. I was supposed to come by every now and then to take care of my bestie, but that changed rather quickly. Within a week, I suspected that Mayayaya had an eye infection and I couldn’t live with myself if I wasn’t there every goddam day to make sure she was okay. Fine, maybe (MAYBE) I also really enjoyed having access to the gym idk. Jokes aside, I found myself just living in her apartment. What was it like?
Honestly it was a fantastic time. I felt so fancy with my credit card looking key fob that granted me access to this luxurious building. I gained a new appreciation for the decor in my partner’s appartment. The plane with pastel colors that compliment the beautiful posters next to it. The floating shelves holding trinkets and plants that always get the proper amount of water every time. I appreciated the view from the huge windows that let in refracted sunlight. The view that Mayayaya and I would share together as she made noises at burbs and I eavesdropped on people below. Speaking of Mayayayaa…
My Bestie
This lady is so freaking funny. She dragged the same goddam toy into bed every night. I would wake up every morning and bring the toy right back to the living room and she would of course feel the need to bring it right back at some ungodly hour in the night. I can’t speak completely to the way that Mayayaya viewed me before, but I believe she saw me as a fun dude that occasionally showed up here and there. However, through this time together I believe we grew closer. I saw the ways in which Mayaya gradually built trust with me. I rememeber the first few times we were alone and I was petting her. There would be occasions in which she’d hiss at me to inform me that maybe I was petting her too much or she wasn’t comfortable with me getting my face real close to hers and telling her how much I love her. By the end I was picking her up, giving her little head little kisses, and cuddling with her. Anytime I returned to the apartment from my weekend at home she woudl bombard me with meows. “where do you think you’ve been —MEOW— don’t ever leave again — MEOW — feed me wet food now —MEOW”. I love the time that I got to spend with Mayaya and the closer bond that she and I formed. Now she sometimes even cuddles with me at night even when Katya is there and I like that :)
Maya is so Cute!!!!
Maya is 35 yr old
Maya can do no wrong!!
Some of the things I did:
The comfort I felt in Katya’s home was incredible. I found myself writing actual verses again—something I had struggled to do for the entire time I had been in DC. Not only was I writing but I was finishing songs (thats unhead of). I also found myself closing every goddam night (I mean I do that when Katya is here anyways). I really do enjoy it though. I find closing to be a beautiful night time routine that calms me as I see the mess of the day disappear. I was making kombucha, refreshing sourdough starter, collecting veggie scraps, eating blackberries as I worked…who has Katya turned me into?? HAHAHA in all seriousness, I gained a new appreciation for the crunchy things that my partner does on the day-to-day. I feel closer to her from this whole experience. However, as fun as my time in APT 201 was…I did feel Katya’s absence. I missed having her close by. I missed the slow mornings, the naps that begin as cuddles on the couch, the walks around Capitol Hill, the meals we made and enjoyed together.
