Russian term or phrase: в коробке уютной, где... девушка вечерами ждет его с горячим ужином

Мне казалось, он живет в коробке. Коробке уютной, где "не слишком" девушка вечерами ждет его с горячим ужином, и на работе его поощряют хорошими бонусами, и два раза в год он ездит отдыхать в "правильные" места, но через щели задувает пронизывающий до костей ветер тоски.

Explanation:
In a box that's cozy, where "the-not-quite" girl waits for him in the evenings with a steaming supper ready, where...and so on, and so forth.....

The sentence right prior to this one ends "in a box." And then I think you should pick up with re-iteraing those three words again, the way I've translated above because that preserves the stream-of-consciousness feel of the narrative.
