In my eighth month of being a singleton, this may all be a tad premature. Still, it's never too early to plan ahead and prepare. Don't get me wrong--I'm definitely not a loony shrew now. But perhaps I should just pull together the stuff I'm going to need when that time comes.
Stacks and stacks of newspaper, for example. If I'm to build newspaper towers throughout my house, I need to start pulling them together. Otherwise, any visitors (animal control officers) will have no trouble walking through my house. Also, it will give my babies (feral cats) something to potty on.
Or toenail clippings. I've always felt that throwing these away was terribly wasteful, but never really knew what to do with them. But I'm going to need something to put in all my creepy jewelry boxes. I can also use them to make gifts to send to my neighbors. It's like macaroni art, but way more personal.
Fossilized hard candy is another good one. If I buy a couple pounds of it now, it should be just old enough to set out in dishes a few decades from now when I'm ready. I should also look into collecting menacing-looking porcelain dolls, don't you think?
Oh, and cats. I'm going to need a lot of cats. It honestly baffles me that someone could amass some 130 cats in a tiny apartment. That is commitment! She probably started way before me.
Anyway, if you want to contribute in any way, or if you think I missed something, feel free to let me know. In the meantime, I'll be standing outside the APL with a Supersoaker full of warm milk.
