How I Skinned the Cat

I have a favorite saying that deeply offends some in my household:

“There’s more than ONE way to skin a cat!”

I say it when I’m angry with them. Bwahaha!

I also say it when I’m stumped, as was the case earlier this week.

Typing from handwritten notes was a pain. I needed a gadget to hold the paper up to eye level.

Do you know the gadget I’m talking about?

It comes with a little light and extends from the side of the monitor. It also prevents repetitive neck motion syndrome – a kissin’ cousin to whiplash.

Problem:

I didn’t have time to find one and hated to spend the money.

But then I was struck by a flash of genius – a MacGyver Moment for sure!

Solution:

1 paint store stirring stick

2 clothespins

3 pieces of masking tape, looped

Spit (for good luck!)

—————————–

Now that the high tech tools are installed, I can brandish my pen and pad with confidence.

What a relief! There’s no need for skinning a cat today.

That makes some in this house very happy.

P.S. It’s great to be back!
