Staying Different Places and The Art of Cutting Lemons


So...this is my thoughts on how it feels to be staying at different places, primarily other than your own home.  

I'm sitting at my cousins house on a bench with their weird friend Eric.  He likes hippos.  It's nice being here away from home without any real responsibilities or duties.  I feel like I can truly relax at times.  At other times, not so much.  You see, we are preparing for a wedding.  

I've always known there was a lot that went into wedding preparation, but I don't think you ever really realize it until you are there in the moment doing it.  Then you realize you have a lot of work and not enough time.  

Today I have been chopping lemons, washing dishes, cleaning the kitchen, husking corn, ect.  Keeping busy.  

Lemons are a lot harder to cut actually then I thought.  I was trying to slice them thin but only succeeding in slicing them into oblivion.  

I'm a lazy person, I'll admit it.  But somehow work at someone else's house isn't quite as odious.  Actually I quite like it.  

Why is that I wonder?

Everything seems different when you're staying at someone else's house.  Food, routine, interactions.  I guess that's because each household is made up of very unique individuals.  

It's strange; people can be so alike and different at the same time.  Why is that?

What is that feeling of being somewhere different or unusual?  Is there a word for it?

Literate thoughts.
