brrrrmeooow

I am so cold today. It is sunny and 10 degrees but I am freeeeeeeezing. My blood has gelled and it takes me twice as long to do anything. Think it is the broken heater. I have neck and back cramps from curling up for warmth all night. And really I shouldn’t be complaining. It is warmer here than in Canada. I feel like an old woman with no circulation. This morning I was contemplating cat lady life. Particularly, what I should I be planning for the immediate future so that I may pave my way to be a proper cat lady. What makes the successful cat lady?

- should I get married so that I can have dusty weddings photos in my attic (that is the disc they are stored on is dusty) or should I stay alone with the exception of say, one flame who dies before we can marry and I can hold onto the memories forever.

- should I have one child at least? A child who moves away at 18 and we spend 6 years communicating through IM but then he/she joins some antitech movement and I never hear from her/him again

- what should my smell be? there’s always the smell and it is an old smell so it needs to get started early. I am thinking a mixture of rosemary and overhead projector transparencies.

- I should start dancing so I have one picture of myself at a young(er) age costumed for some performance.

- when should I get my first cat and what kind of cat? Friendly? Snobby? Mean? Friendly cat that becomes mean with age?

- what should my obsession be? besides cats, what do I love? Maybe I should start out as the cookie baking cat lady. But then I will stop putting sugar in the cookies so the kids’ll think I’ve gone all weird and stop coming over for cookies. Then I will try to sell them at the park for a few unsuccessful years. Then they will become food for my cats. Because my cats will be my children.

I no longer feel like an old woman. I can’t complain about being cold. The office room is so toasty warm – it’s great! My cheeks actually feel flushed. At least I hope it is the warm room and not a feverish me. Probably the room…this is one of the things I love about Japan…people like warmth.
