Several of my friends and I have talked about this subject in great detail: Old age. And how lovely it will be.

Really. I think about this all of the time. What I’m going to be like, how I’ll dress, where I’ll live, etc. I know this for sure, I will ensure that during the course of my life I will have acquired enough money somehow to secure a home somewhere remote where I will live together with all the animals of the majestic kingdom.

Bunnies, for instance. My lovely and lively dreamer of a friend, Ruta, has just gotten one!

I almost died because my heart stopped beating.  …because it’s so cute.

Do you recall the beginning of Love in the Time of Cholera? If you’ve read it… It begins with an old Fermina living with the charming doctor she settled for, surrounded by various types of birds, snakes, cats, dogs and what have you.

Living the dream, girl.
