So, the next morning I woke up feeling pretty normal and unsure what to do. I had a slight headache but it wasn’t any different than the regal headaches I occasionally get, or was it? How would I know. I dozed off and on until noon and then I realized that I was just being crazy about the whole thing. I felt fine, I had the kind of headache that lessened when I stood up, which normally means it is time to get my neck adjusted but in coronavirus world it means, ignore and take a tylenol. I showered, I came downstairs, feeling so full of happiness and joy all because my friend’s adorable 2 year old had literally given me a tiny little reason to live. It sounds too instant and too huge to be attributed to a sweet little toddler’s 20 minute video chat but it was true. I had turned the corner on the gloom and nothingness of the first week of this lock down and now I had a smile on face and didn’t feel like I was lost in the darkness anymore. Now I felt like I had to finish that counting book and also figure out how I was going to get it to him.
So, I edited and edited for a couple of days and pixel by pixel I removed the dogs from the background and cloned them onto the book template. Somewhere in there I had to watch a video to learn how to write in a photoshop document and I thought and thought about the best way to design a book and somewhere along the line I thought about printing a copy on my own document printer as a dry run and then I realized I could prepare a PDF of the pages that someone could print and glue together at home and then I got super really excited. I made a PDF of the inside of the book and I made a PDF of the cover. I took some photos while I put the book the together. I made a video of me reading while I flip through the book.
Now the only thing left to do is to write the instructions into an email and attach the PDFs and send them out. I’m pretty excited about this.
