Aster and I have been living together for almost a year now. We've had our ups and downs, and we're still figuring things out, but for the most part it's good. But this post is dedicated to a single weekend that happened a few months back.
So Aster has weekend school that happens ever other weekend. One weekend though he overslept a bit, decided to skip the first lecture since it wasn't that important and then show up for the rest of the classes. I was like that's okay to do every once in a while, so I decided to make breakfast a bit early so that he could eat something concrete before the rest of his lessons.
He hangs out with me in the kitchen, Bax of course is there as well wondering if we'll put anything in his bowl. We chat casually about everything and nothing until eventually Aster admits he doesn't really feel up to going to school at all today.
I look him over and can tell he's feeling drained. He's trying his best, but work and school seem to be tiring him out. With my mind made up I give him the push he needs to make his decision. "Well as long as you don't make this a habit and you have someone you can get notes from, then it should be ok."
He looks at me, a bit relieved but also feeling guilty, knowing his parents would be worried that he's going to drop out again if they find out he's skipping. But he'd been going dutifully to all of his classes so far and I found little reason to force him to go if he felt he needed a break.
So we eat breakfast together and Aster asks me what my plans were for the day. I told him I was going over to my dad's house with Bax to hang out with everyone since I hadn't been able to go during the week. I ask if he wants to tag along, expecting him to say 'no,' but surprisingly he agrees. So we head out around 10:30 to my dad's place.
That whole weekend ends up being we do everything I want to do. It was fun for me. Saturday we spent some time with my family than went for a long walk with Bax before I cooked up some dinner and had a chill evening. While Sunday Aster, my brother, Bax and I drove to a beach a bit farther out where Bax got to run free and really get rid of his energy.
That weekend felt very domestic and we still have those moments, but that's what they are moments. I wonder if I can get away with that kind of day on my birthday. Instead of a present you have to hang out with me all day! That'd be fun, for me at least. I don't think Aster would mind too much, but I also know he can be a lazy bum when it comes to certain things.
I know I've been quiet for a while. A lot of things have happened that I'll talk about in another post or two, but for now I wanted to start of with something light. Just to help me get back into the swing of writing, since it has been a solid two/three months since I've written anything at all. I know here it's been like four, but I write stuff that doesn't show up here! More positive stuff thank you very much.
