I have more crocuses blooming along with some other flowers. It is going to get cold again and I don’t hold hope for their survival. Right now, they are pretty and ambassadors of what is to come.
Yesterday I had work starting at 4 am and ended up working an extra hour because someone called in sick. Then I had an appointment and did some grocery shopping.
I came back to the house and no cats were visible. I didn’t see any of them until late afternoon and there was no Figaro. I was worried about Fig, because she is a fifteen-year-old cat, and started looking in her various hidey holes. I found her sound asleep on my bed sleeping on my pillow. She came down in time for Jeopardy wanting pets and cuddles. Today she is sticking with me. Where I go, she goes. I think she is making up for yesterday.
I have puppet ideas for the rest of the year. I want to get started soon rather than doing everything at once in a panic. I have two projects before I go on to the fun stuff. I am setting myself up for some real challenges. I have been coasting for too long. I think the 50th anniversary of Jim Henson’s 1975 was the kick in the pants I needed.
I signed my LoA with DragonCon. I will be very happy to attend again. Looking forwarded to seeing friends and making new ones. Shoreleave’s offer has been taken. I am working on GalaxyCon. I want to go to Raleigh and see all my friends there and meet new people. Trek Long Island and LI Who are also possibilities. Not as madcap as it used to be, but still fun. I am up for any panels people want to put me on.
I think I am going to be doing fiction writing today.
I am grateful when the creative brain comes online.
