Wintry Updates
Posted under Everyday ramble by Recovering Straight GirlWinter Term has started and I feel very spoiled this time. I am only attending classes at the university two days per week and taking one online writing class. The online writing class is a fiction writing class, which completely terrifies me beyond belief. I have absolutely no idea how to write fiction, but I guess that’s why I’m taking a class.
I’m taking a break from Spanish this term, not because I wanted to, but because it just didn’t fit in my schedule. So don’t send me emails in Spanish for the next ten weeks, I’m putting it aside. We can have margaritas however.
It’s so wintry in Portland right now. Cold and rainy. It’s the toughest time of the year in the NW. Pushing through the next few months is going to be difficult. It makes me want to run away to somewhere sunny and bright and warm. If you would like to fly me to your beach house in the Caribbean, please let me know.
Derby season is starting next week and Cher will be leading her team on a world domination tour 2010! If you’re in Portland, come to the Season Opener on January 16 to see some amazing derby!
My mom has a few feral cats that hang around her house. One of them had four wee small kittens in September. Two of them are still around and one in particular has become very friendly and even lets my mom pick him up and pet him. My mom thinks that one of you should adopt him (she thinks he’s a boy but I don’t know for sure.) I told her I would ask. So if you want a wee cat, let me know. This would save my mother from becoming more of a Crazy Cat Woman than she already is and I would appreciate that.
Finally, my column came out yesterday. You can read it here. Be one of five and have five. Read the piece and you’ll understand that! It’s my campaign for the year!
We already have three cats, and he might not appreciate flying to Oz, so I decline your generous offer. Looks like Mom will have to assume the mantle of crazy cat lady a little while longer.
LRSD is performing in the opener tomorrow. Hope to see you there!
I have one of those compact SAD lights that blasts my eyes & brain with fake sunlight for 15 minutes every morning in the winter. It makes a huge difference in my ability to function this time of year. Not sayin’ you need it, just sayin’, its how I get by.
There is probably an organization that will take the kittens and place them in homes and neuter the feral cat your mom has living behind her house. They neuter them then nick their ears so other rescue workers will know that they are fixed. Then they can live out their feral lives without breeding more kittens and Crazy Cat Women. Its a win-win.
