Alexander has enjoyed my absence. He had a nice apartment in a great NYC location. No one to wake him if he's not up by ten, tell him what to do, or worry if he's out too late. And, the rent is free.
But he's adjusted to my being home.
"What are you making me for breakfast?"
"Can you go to Costco and get some lox and more of those frozen Japanese noodle things?"
"I need your computer for the day. I have to run a program that only works on Windows. (My Mac also runs Windows; his doesn't). I might need it for the next three months."
"You need to help me with the application for health insurance; mine runs out on the 16th."
"The remote in the living room isn't working. You need to get it fixed."
"Where's a black magic marker?"
"Why do you care what my room looks like?"
"I want to eat dinner by seven 'cuz I might go out later. What are you making?"
"You need to take a picture of me today in a suit for my LinkedIn account; I want to look professional. C'mon, I know you like doing that." (more than the other tasks, for sure.)
