04-10-21 Numbers & Shapes
Went to bed gleeful as I had no alarm to set. It is the best part of my Friday and Saturday nights. The relief that I can just sleep and have no FOMO… although, this morning I awoke around 8 and was going to roll over and try to sleep more but I was wide awake in spite of goin got sleep after 1. I got up and headed to make a cup f coffee when I remembered a puzzle I had bid on in a Facebook bid war was coming to the end time of 8:09. I had last bid after midnight and when I looked only one other person had bid 50 cents more 4 hours earlier. I bid 50 cents more at 8:06 and won a great looking Star Wars puzzle.
There is a part of me that thinks I should be reading books and cross stitching but I really am enjoying puzzles as I watch my shows. I went to work and typed a great lot of numbers in and then came home and played with shapes. It just occurred to me that cross stitch is also a combination of numbers and shapes. I guess that is my superpower, making sense of and creating order in a numerical world. Shapes are numerical. Everything has an angle and a specific fit. It is likely the same superpower that allows me to see a well drawn plan and picture it finished in my head. I do that often with words on a page as well. It’s why I love and hate Stephen King in the same read, I have to skip over some bits in a read fast kind of way. That is because I see what I am reading. People will be talking and I have to stop them sometimes. I laugh and say Field of Daisies. It is a joke way of me saying I want to brain erase what I am visualizing.
Today included hail and snow and sun and a lovely safe visit with my friend Diane R. She had some puzzles I had lent her to return and I just miss her. We are making a plan for her to come along with me on my next work trip to Radium once the world has relaxed a bit more. It will be nice to have someone come along.
I was at my office until 8:30 taking care of some client stuff and one of my volunteer obligations for the month. It felt good to get it off my plate. I came home and continued watching Assembly Required with Tim Allen and Richard Karn. I find the series interesting as Tim calls Richard his ride or die, which is creepy and he is often short tempered with him. Anyway, the funny thing is Google must be a sponsor as they ask Google things a few times in every episode and my Google Home answers every time. It kept setting timers.
I finished a puzzle I had been working on for two weeks and then finished two others in 2.5 hours. What fun to be doing different ones!!
