can't get warm

I'm sitting in the cold in our new studio. Work moved to a new location nlast week and it's good. A lot of new stuff happening lately. Some good, some not. My grandmother passed away last weekend and I am trying to not use the word "finally" but- when someone is 94 and she is not herself or at least the herself that you want to remember with the silvery-red hair and the laugh and the irish spring soap and the Anne Murray sheet music on the piano and the quilt she made you but your mother wouldn't let you have although maybe she will now that "you don't have a cat to ruin it"- what other word is there?
I'm driving up tonight after work. I haven't packed yet.
I keep putting it off. Mostly because I'm cold when I go home too- my radiators haven't kicked on yet. (I did call my apartment people today and they said they didn't go on last night since it didn't dip below 52 (yeah right) but that have been on all week. I assured them, mine have not and i have the exoskeletons of what I was wearing to keep warm to prove it- last night alone was a shortsleeve shirt over a long sleeve shirt under a sweater and all of that under my dinosaurland sweatshirt which is my new favorite article of clothing. I hate sweatshirts in principle, but this one is great.)
I'm mostly not packing because I don't want to think about what to wear. I was already not going to wear black when my mother called me this morning and said "DON'T WEAR BLACK" and I told her i wasn't because granma wasn't a black-clothing kinda person. Usually when I think of her, I think of green so that's what I'll be wearing. Although my mom's instructions immediately make me go into petulant teenager mode and want to wear all black.
I'm not looking forward to the drive up. Especially now that the ipod that i use for my car isn't registering in my itunes.
well, everyone's gone. time to go home and pack
