our heater is broken.

so i sit here.

sweatered, vested, hatted and blanketted,
drinking tea (out of our famed shih tzu mug), and eating overcooked saltine crackers (which has absolutely nothing to do with the temperature).

there is only one redeemable aspect of this sudden domestic cold snap: i have the urge to do dishes: my dishes, kate's dishes... anyone's dishes, really.
water, you see, is the only heat-emitting thing in this house, at present.

thus, all the dishes are done.


oh, ok, and my blanket. well it's covered in the most hideous collection of cats that you have ever seen. but i don't have another fleece blanket, so it's almost constantly wrapped around my waist (since i am the coldest person alive). so the quote of the day is from a certain roommate who will (ahem!) remain unnamed:

"rachel! how can you be cold?! you have like a thousand cats wrapped around your butt!"

hahahhaaaha.

(i will add a picture to this later)

Doing the dishes on a cold day? You are one tough lady! It is really hard to get anything done when you are shivering, sans the heater. I’m sure you can do more when the heater is fixed and the room is a little warmer.[Althea Tumlin]

Having a bunch of cats surround you definitely feels warm and cozy. Haha! Kidding aside, having a very cold night would be disturbing. Even though it’s cozy and you can drink coffee to get a little warm, the cold will be too much to handle at one point. I hope you got your heater fixed. Take care! :)

I prefer to sleep in the freezing cold than to be bathing in sweat! Anyway, next time, do yourself a favor and make sure to have your heater checked for regular maintenance so you won’t have to experience untimely inconvenience again.
