Puzzling Christmas


Except for putting a few pieces in a few puzzles at Cathy's house, the only jigsaw puzzle I've done since February was the small one with Miki while she was recuperating.

But it looks like the fates want me to do one soon. I got four for Christmas (from Loren, Betty, Cathy, and Omer), I bought two (secondhand) this month at prices I couldn't pass up, and the seventh one I bought on sale this summer.

Which one might I do first? This one, Cat Library, from friend Betty is sort of calling to me. We shall see.

I also have two more that Diane sent for Miki and me to do together.

Meanwhile, what am I doing. Well, the 500-mile mark is not going to happen. The weather didn't look promising, but I was thinking I'd go do 5 miles this morning before it started raining. Ha. It was already raining when I got up.

I managed to get in gear and do a few things around the house. I don't know if it's age, just fatigue at the same old, the long dark of winter, or laziness, but I am having a terrible time getting myself to do even basic chores. But I managed to improve a few small areas today.

But Omer also bought me a really good book for Christmas, which I'm having trouble putting down. On another note, neither of his gifts have arrived yet. Hopeful for soon. He's not upset that they didn't come before Christmas, but I'll be happy when they show up.
