Home Alone

Steve dropped a bomb on me last night. He let me know that in one week’s time he will be leaving me home alone in our new house while he goes to New York for work for five days. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous. What if the landlord’s wife (who lives above us) falls asleep while smoking and burns the house down? What if we have a raccoon invade the house via the cat door? Or worse yet, what do I do if something happens to the cat.

I knew I would eventually have to stay at home alone but I guess I didn’t think that it would be so soon
