I have the house

All to myself because my two housemates are currently out of the country. The absence of the male housemate is something I've been looking forward to for a little while, excited by the idea of not having to chat with him or endure his bragging and aggressively conservative political viewpoints.

I was so thrilled by the prospect of having almost 2 weeks alone that I even took the plunge of buying yeast so that I can make bread unencumbered by my housemate's request that I only bake early in the morning to avoid heating the house that he doesn't want to cool with the AC.

So far, however, my solitude hasn't been as enjoyable as I had anticipated. Today's rainy weather has resulted in a series of splashes on the windowsills long after the rain had stopped, the noise from which was just ambiguous enough to make me unsure and worried about their source. The bathroom has been inhabited by a giant moth, which is actually not really something to complain about since I'd rather have a giant moth hanging around than a giant cockroach. I was going to catch the moth with my yogurt container, but it went to sit in the light fixture, which I think is an acceptable place for a moth to be.
