A few quiet moments before the Day begins

If I get up before the rest of the household, I have a little bit of time to myself. I take the time to take care of those things that are best done without interruption. I also clean a lot since I have a shot of doing it without protest from someone.

It also gives me sometime to think. This morning my mind went to a puppet problem that I have now solved and once I can use the sewing machine I can execute the solution. This one had been bother me most of last evening in trying to get something to work right and I had to make a couple of parts over since I tore up the first set by having to use my seam ripper too much. I went to bed rather frustrated but this morning I figured out what I need to do to get the puppet to work.

I also think about the day ahead. What needs to get done and what would be nifty if it did get done but the world is not going to end if it doesn't. Today we have a few obligations but not a ton. Tomorrow is when the world cranks back into high gear as we get ready for the Cape Cod Writers conference. I am thinking of today as a finishing day for about 5 objects for DragonCon. I know what I want to do for some others and hope to have a majority done by the end of next week.

And here comes Caroline which means my day starts to crank to the next level.

I am grateful for quiet moments.
