Effing cats--Yes, I am not a cat fan!




The other night I went to bed about 11pm. I have been sleeping on a futon near the sliding glass doors since I have been in Japan. I have also been hearing of a cat problem, maybe overpopulation since I have been here. As we walk down the street, we see big soda bottles filled with water around a tree or lamp post or somewhere. This is supposed to ward off the cats from peeing there. I think it is something like when you put a mirror up to a Beta fish, where it puffs up and scares itself (and me too!).

So the other night, I was asleep and I brought my sleep maching which makes ocean noises which I use every night. I was woken up at midnight to a cat meowing. It was so loud, that I opened the curtains and BOOM, BIG EFFING EYES STARING AT ME! I tried to shoo it away, it just stared. I tried pretending I was throwing something at it, it just stared at me. I shut the door and it just stared at me. Finally with the door closed, curtains closed, I got up and went to the bathroom. I almost woke Eric up but I know he would have invited the cat in for a while and I wanted nothing to do with that cat. When I got back from the bathroom, I opened the curtain and the effing cat was still there. Now I would have said I HATE CATS! Finally, with the door closed for a long while, he must have left. But I couldn't sleep the whole night, waking up thinking the cat was coming back and was going to jump in my room thru the screen. I woke up every hour, just waiting for that to happen. It didn't! Did you know, cats don't blink?

Last night, I went to bed armed! I had a spray can of air to ward him off. He did not come back! Guess I scared him off!

Hurry Up and Wait

Image
Here I sit at the airport with not much to do but wait. Security at the airport tends to be somewhat silly. If you are drinking something you can not bring it down to the gate, so hurry up and drink it or throw it out. Then you have to get on a big long line, and wait so you can take things out of your backpack, purse or whatever else you are carrying on the plane. Oh, and you have to take your shoes off and hope that the people in front of you's feet don't smell too bad. Of course, I wore tie shoes which is a pain in the ass to put back on. So here I sit at the gate, waiting to board in a few hours. I am not sure why they say to get to the airport so early but here I am waiting. I fly into Minneapolis and have a four hour lay over. I was looking around to see if I could leave the airport for a few hours to see the city. I think by now, I have poo pooed that idea, knowing my sense of direction sucks. At the gate: As I sit here and time gets closer to boarding ( still

Nothing Ventured, nothing gained

Thursday May 27 4:35pm. As you will notice, I am in a totally different time zone. You guys are like back to the future for me. I am doing things when you haven't even gotten to the time and day yet. Today's venture: As you know I am pretty jet lagged. I am feeling it real bad right now. My back is killing me from who knows what, but I feel my back and my leg pain that I did NOT want in Japan. So I took a few IB profun and will go to sleep at 9pm and tomorrow, it will be better. (I hope). I waited and walked to work with Monica, she works at that craft store with bunches and bunches and bunches of fabric. I spent about an hour wandering around the store and bought nothing. I was window shopping! Because I have such a terrible sense of direction, Suzanne (The French Suzanne) told me to take pictures of how I got there. So poor Monica, we had to stop every few feet so that I could take a picture of where I was and where i was going. We went to her store and on the wa
