A Week Off
Sherlock's been absent for the last week, working on that Harrington Case DI Lestrade had assigned him. Which meant I was left here at Baker Street. Alone. He'd said that he didn't need me for this one, and that I'd "just get in the way". And oddly enough, I agreed with him, I'm not as 'fit' as I used to be, and certainly not as agile. Oh, and a week being wasted by chasing after a suspect across Oxfordshire just didn't appeal to me either… Especially in this horrid weather..
So I've spent it as normal and as ordinary as I possibly could – like a holiday away from the mighty Sherlock Holmes… at home… - that meant no chasing after criminals, visiting the morgue, or being kidnapped.. cough..cough.. Mycroft.. cough..
Just me, sleep, and the television. It's heaven!
Though, I have to say, it's been weird waking up to the quietness. It just… it just doesn't feel right. I guess I'm so used to be being woken at stupid hours by that damn violin, or to help the ever-so-brilliant flatmate with a case, or some crazed experiment.. I will probably never know what 'normal' is anymore…
Anyway, I've achieved some things over the last few days. I've actually managed to tidy the flat up! 221b is entirely spotless, and the floor is actually visible! Sherlock will probably, most likely, hate me for it… But who cares, it's nice for it to be tidy, for once. And.. He may also not be pleased that I've moved his experiments to a... uh.. more suitable place..
This newfound freedom will unfortunately come to an end, sadly, as Sherlock will be back soon. Not sure when, but he'd said that he'd be gone for two weeks at the most. So I'm just waiting for that text… not that I mi—Oh, Mrs Hudson has just told me that Sarah's outside, so I must go. Ah, a date which won't be interrupted.. at last!
I'l update when he gets back.
