I might have actually lost my mind re: #puzzles. Pulled the board out to finish this one and...it's done. I know I worked on it last night before bed but I genuinely have no recollection of finishing it.

Might not be on schedule for ANY other part of the holidays but somehow I’m not only *ahead* of my ambitious #puzzle schedule but I **added** puzzles to the stack!

It's been many years (a little shocked to look it up and see exactly how many years) but I still don't understand how IIHF 15-minute intermissions feel so incredibly shorter than NHL 18-minute intermissions. NHL is enough to get something done, IIHF you blink and it's over. #WJC

Pretty sure I had the same Christmas experience with my first dog…waking up and pulling back the covers expecting to see puppy face and instead seeing puppy ass.

In the grand scheme of things, fighting with my internet for a few hours after THOUSANDS of hours of trouble-fee uptime really shouldn't be as quick-trigger frustrating as it is. I may have to periodically add "internet worked without issue" to my daily gratitude. 🙃

Nothing like losing internet for 30 hours to make you both stressfully and joyfully disconnected. And nothing like fighting for 3 hours because YOUR service didn't "just come back up" like everyone else's to make you consider never using internet again.

Latest accomplishments. Both of there were “Can I finish before #PuzzleExchange?” self-imposed deadlines. Missed the second one by about 50 pieces and 30 minutes.

Finished these two last week. Still rocking the “finish ahead of schedule and then delay disassembly and end up behind schedule” strategy. 🤨

Nothing says “coldest temps of the season” like your dog strategically placing herself between you and the space heater.

Similar to #Riverdance, the marketing team for #Stomp has made an egregious counting error. It’s simply not possible this is the 30th anniversary tour.

@senscallups.bsky.social So I know someone made a joke about lapping the Underground twice earlier this season but seeing "2011" in print is a whole other experience. 😳

Puzzle update: 39 puzzles in the house; 4 in permanent collection, 1 awaiting disassembly, 2 of the same because...oops. I haven't even been maintaining my 1/mth frequency, so this holiday schedule might be a tad ambitious. 😂 (and just realized I forgot to include Xmas one from perm collection!!)
