Inside Kate’s Head
………. Do I have to get up? It’s cold…… Oh yeah… I do. I have to observe a class today….. Okay….if I get up at 7….shower….7:30…..get ready….leave the house at 8…..get to work at 8:30…. I have time to get breakfast! Perfect!
In the shower -- Gotta remember to get kitty litter for Nue today…. I can do that on the way home…. Hmm…. do I want to do it on the way home today? Brrr…. It’s cold! What should I wear today? I’m not gonna be like last night again….shivering on the scooter in the wind…. Ooooh! My big red fleece jacket…. Soft and warm……
On the scooter – I can make that green light….. oh, don’t change don’t change! 12 seconds…. Yeah! I made it…….What was Bill talking about us being middle-aged just now? Oh yeah, he put on his new fleece jacket after he saw mine, grabbed me in front of the mirror, and said, “We look like Christmas……Kate, (sob) we’re so middle-aged (sob).” He’s so funny. Just yesterday morning he was looking at himself in the mirror saying, “I look like a boy. I don’t want to look like a boy. I want to look like a MAN. Do I look like a boy to you?” 24 hours later, he’s middle-aged. Hey! Watch it, lady! You almost hit me! I hate it when a short Asian woman is behind the wheel….. so many of them shouldn’t be allowed to drive….Oops, a racist comment….. Wait! I’m Asian so I can say that. Thank God I’m not short.
In line for breakfast – This is ridiculous! I have to be in line for some decent breakfast? Maybe I should go across the street to get a sandwich…Nah! I feel like having hot steamed buns and a cup of warm soy milk. Uh?! Where did you come from and why are you standing right beside me? Oh, mister…. You’re sneaky… You want to cut in front of me, don’t ya?! Fat chance, dude!
Observing the class – Should I be writing this down? He seems to be fine teaching this class. The students are having fun….. Uh-ha-ha! That was funny. I wonder if students got the joke….. I’m sleepy….. Should I go shopping at SOGO or Mitsukoshi later?
In the office – So my next chemo is on the 12th…Perfect! The sub can give the students their second quiz… That means I’ll have to ask someone to meet me on the 15th to give me the quiz so I can mark it over Chinese New Year. One, two three, …..ffffour. The forth one should be around the 8th of March….. Hey! That’s their third quiz. Ha! My chemo schedule coincides with my students’ quizzes. Oh, good! I don’t have to be away when they take their Final Exam. I’ll be done with chemo before next term starts. Yippy!
[BC’ voice came in the foreground of my thoughts: “You working today?”]
Shit! Almost forgot my 2 o’clock.
On the way home -- Should I stop by the pet store? I should........ Nue likes his litter box filled with a thick layer of litter..... Things totally changed..... The cab club became the buc club, but now they dont even go home together anymore...... I wonder if we move to Guting, could we reestablish the cab club again? ....... Oh, maybe not..... Christienne is leaving Taiwan..... we'd be one person short.......... Sigh~ Dawn left, Christienne is leaving..... Bill and I are talking about leaving later this year....... the office is not gonna be the same anymore........ What a shame...... I love this crew.
Back on the scooter again -- Of course they're out of the litter I want on a cold night that I made myself stop by the pet store. Maybe Nue should have a little skateboard and a pouch on his neck so he can go get his own food and litter....... Oh wait! It's too heavy for a kitty cat to carry it home on a skateboard.....
