Big Plans for Broke Kitty

Broke Kitty's got plans. Big plans!!

Before getting into those, a few thoughts on mugging, illness, and falling on your face.

One really ain't a shitizen (i.e. a citizen of New York Shitty) until she's been robbed, mugged, and homeless. Other negative qualifiers may be added to this list (i.e., raped, stabbed, left for dead on the sidewalk), but let's try to keep this niblet on a positive tip.

Ahhh life. What a pleasingly generic turn of phrase. Encapsulates existential alienation, overwhelming fatigue, and the fuck it mentality all in one piddly breath.

After all the exhalations, inhalations, let downs, and get back ups, plan-making rears its big ugly head in life again. What to do next?

Well, there's a choice-- another ten hours of sleep or dirty laundry.

The cold weather very forcefully persuades one to stay in, why bother. Warm blankets are inside; you don't need clean underwear for that.

But then there's life again. Plans again. Work again. Try.

"You tell me summer's here
And the time is wrong
You tell me winter's here
And the day's are getting long
Tears are in your eyes
Tonight."
