No Strings Attached

Aka Wednesday April 8, 2020

Also the first night of Passover.

More people are talking about their days blending together. There is a white board in the kitchen that I put the date and the day, so we have some point of reference. All our normal cues do not exist. 

Wednesday should be bowling in league with our friends. Wednesday should be a gym day. Wednesday should be a lot of things but right now it is just another day in the house working through projects.

We had some kitty politics this morning after they had their breakfast. For some reason Figgy is in a mood and challenged for a box that normally holds Phoebe and Mewlan napping. Figgy won and the other two cats are displaced to other spots. 

Caroline is up in her study working on her assignments for school. She likes to get to it early so she has the afternoon to do whatever.

I have no idea if we are going for a walk today as it is raining then drizzling then stopping before going back to rain. It does look like the afternoon is going to be better than the morning so we will see.

Today is going to be two sewing projects. One of them is harder than other one. 

I have what we need for this evening’s dinner. I am making matzo ball soup later this afternoon. Caroline is making dessert. 

I find it interesting that Anime is something quite common rather than the rare happening it was when I discovered it. I would say that people my age know what it is and probably watched some. For Caroline’s generation, Anime is part of her cultural landscape as it is for her friends as well. 

In fact, a lot of things that I shared with my friends is now part of the cultural landscape. I never expected to get a mainstream magazine to give me articles about Doctor Who or what is going on at San Diego Comic Con. I can wear a t-shirt that is one of my fandoms and other people will comment on it outside of conventions.

Or as I put it at conventions, “We won.”

I was having a discussion with a friend of mine that has also been presenting costumes at various conventions. Once I started working the puppet angle, I stop making outfits for me until I did the 12^th Doctor from Doctor Who. And when I did that, I didn’t have to make some of the items of clothing like I had to in the past. The materials that are available now I would have killed for back in the day. That is true for puppet and prop building as well.

Take care of yourself. Wash your hands. Keep your distance. And be kind.

I am grateful for the materials I have on hand.
