WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I GO HOME

-mum is late to pick me up from the bus stop
-my cat waits out the front, as if she knew i was coming
-i eat all the leftovers i can find as soon as i get home
-have to sleep in a single bed
-get woken up by my sister going to school
-bring dirty clothes, forget things to sleep in and clean things to wear the day after i arrive, so have to wear crappy old things, often they have paint on them
-act as pacifier in arguments between mum and sister (usually about school, probably the most infuriating things to deal with ever)
-take a big stack of books, intent on reading most of them, never open a single one
-make mum buy expensive or novelty food items that i can't afford
-end up making all the meals for some reason (probably because one of the things i don't miss about home is mum's cooking)
-get conned into being something of a taxi driver for my sister
-weather permitting, lounge around on the grass and read a book
-go for a bike ride to the river
-feel pretty tranquil
-manage to only 'go out in public' once or twice either to
-hire a ridiculous amount of dvds or
-go to my favourite cafe in town
-spend a lot of time hanging out with my cat
-play piano
-play piano
-get asked to play piano with my sister, which actually means we choose from the limited pop songs i know (ie 'teenage dream'), look up the chords and sing them together because she is positively obsessed with harmony
-hang with my cat again
-start to get irritated by my family and bored by tranquility
-miss the sound of trains going past my bedroom window
-miss being in my giant ass bed
-freak out about not getting stuff done
