NeonSnake on Nostr: Since about April 2020, I've been gifted an amount of plushies and stuffed toysies ...

Since about April 2020, I've been gifted an amount of plushies and stuffed toysies from my friend's kids - at least a few were very dear to them, before they came my way.

In each case, I fold them into my life, and send photos of them "helping". I have a purple bear who is now in charge of the kitchen, and a smaller pink bear, who is now in charge of the cafe. They were both very, very well loved before they came to me during lockdown and my period of isolation. I don't massively plan how they're going to "fold in" to my life, they just do. I treat this very seriously.

This has carried on as a "thing".

Recently, we welcomed into a our life a small stuffie octopus (Bloop), who for reasons I cannot quite work out, ended up on financial duty for the "restaurant" that I sort of pretend to operate for my friends and their kids. Lots of photos of her in front of a calculator and whatnot, and delighted children on the other end.

Anyway, Automatic Noodle is *sending us* right now.

Fantastic book. Just what I needed. ❤️
