No Strings Attached

Posted By Kathleen David on March 22, 2020

Not really creative with titles this morning.

Yesterday was one of those plan for one thing but deal with another. Nothing for it but to figure out what is next. 

Because of that I am extending World Puppetry Day to today since I didn’t get to any puppet building. 

But first I need to restore order to that which became chaos yesterday which should take half the day.

This morning I woke up to find three out of four cats curled up on the bed and there was no kitty politics until we entered the head skritch portion of the morning. 

Someone pointed out that we are not trying to social distances ourselves but physically keeping distance. Unless we are trying to be social at a distance…

I am getting the urge to make a doll. I haven’t done it in years but I think it is time.

I will admit to having to look at a calendar to figure out which day of the week it is.

Yeah short bursts of thought seem to be how the brain is calibrated today but I am a bit distracted.

Caroline has been drawing and coloring as her stress reducer. I am so amazed at what she can do with a pencil and paper. She is also an incessant doodler which is reflected in her note taking.

I miss the gym but am finding other ways to continue to exercise. Caroline and I have been walking down to the local docks and watching the sun set. Might be a little cold today to do so. Also I found two of our weights. Neither is the same weight but we can make it work. I know there is a matching pair hiding somewhere.

I have an idea for a puppet that I need to sketch out for me. 

I also need more coffee.

This is one of those times I am glad that we stay home for the most part. Makes this still weird but probably less weird than other people are feeling. I can navigate my day without feeling I need to leave the house.

I have the next bit in the story I am writing for the anthology I am working on. Now to take the story in my head and type it out. I want to have it done before I have to put on my editor hat.

Phoebe and Mewlan were playing a game of knock things off the table to see who could create more chaos. Phoebe won and was promptly taking off the table. Those two have been come besties and play with each other all the time.

With a few exceptions, our small collection of Disney ZumZums are cat toys. We have a basket that we toss them into as we find them around the house. Each cat seems to favor a few over the other ones. Apparently last night was a big play time as there are ZumZums all over the living room, kitchen, steps to upstairs, and the bathroom. 

I am grateful for answers to problems that really work.
