I haven't done much of anything the past two days since I opened up that jigsaw puzzle box. I need to go to Target but decided it would be less crowded on Monday, so I'm putting it off until tomorrow.
This represents two days of work off and on with the 1000 piece puzzle. Click to enlarge.
This is the box showing what it is supposed to look like when it's finished.
I have complained for a long time about my deteriorating vision, but this little exercise in fun has given me a different outlook. If I can see subtle differences in color, and spot an individual piece of the puzzle that I am looking for - out of hundreds of pieces - then I'm not as bad off as I thought. Of course I can only work it during daylight. Maybe with a lamp and a powerful light bulb I might be able to see it at night, but I need a good excuse to put it away. The picture above is after working on the puzzle for 2 days, and I think I have put a lot of it together, but still have a long way to go.
So that's just about how I've spent my day, and I'm ready to quit for now. I have way more finished than when I took the picture. Nothing else to write about.
- Rain, All Day
It's a dreary day and I don't feel like going anywhere, so I haven't. I love the treadmill the more I use it (never thought that would happen) and I've managed to do some walking just about every day since I've been here. We...
- The Deer Arrived, Finally!
I've been wanting to see the deer come down out of the woods and this morning is the first time I've noticed them. Usually they are here 2 at a time, but we saw six of them in the yard this morning. Before that, I got up this morning to...

Gotta be careful today! I was ready to leave the house to go to the library and then to the gym, and decided to hit the bathroom before leaving. Lo and behold! I realized I put my sweat pants on backwards this morning, with the drawstring...
- Blood Pressure - Again
I finally heard from my doctor regarding the blood pressure readings I sent him a couple of weeks ago. By now I don't want to touch any bp medicine with a 10 ft. pole! He says to keep monitoring and we may need to start a low dose of bp...
- Making Plans
Jeannie called me this morning and told me that Arianna said to her, "I'm so excited about camping. I already know which dress I'm going to wear, but don't worry, it isn't white so it won't get dirty!" I said I wondered...
