Making Good Decisions

My problem is not finding enough couch-friendly inspiration to keep busy on a rainy quarantine Friday. The problem is picking one creative battle and ignoring the distractions of social media and mindless TV watching to stick with it.The day was about, as we say at school, "making good decisions", in this case just one thing decision.I sat down at my desk. Good decision number one.I checked out my index card box full of scenes to write then looked at the text of a children's book I've been agonizing over for far too long and then almost got up to go through the sketch books on my shelf. I was deep into indecision land, which is never a good choice.Jim-Bob, our orange tabby, came to the rescue, offering some of the Orange Tabby Therapy I usually rely on to get to sleep. As he always waits to do until I'm about to get up from something, he hopped up on the desk, walked to the space between my arms and laptop, turned around three times (a trick he learned from Katie the Wonderdog), and plopped down on my arms, leaving me just enough control to keep typing in the document I just opened.Apparently, we're working on the novel today, and OTT(Orange Tabbt Therapy) includes a little decision-making psychotherapy.By-the-by, Jim also had a suggestion a new, work-at-home, pandemic edition of the Olympics, which, for no particular reason, should include a "Type with your Pet" event (I convinced him there should be a division for all pets even though he's quite convinced no one would have interest in watching anything other than a cat).OK, back to my stack of creative to-do's.
