Now that I have set this writing goal for myself, I feel like I have nothing to talk about. Mind you, I talk all the damn time. To my mom, my friends. I even call the office and talk to my coworkers. Yet, every day when it comes time to write, I am drawing a blank. So annoying.
One of the things that was so popular during Covid was putting together puzzles. I used to get the cheap puzzles from Dollar Tree and listen to audiobooks while I worked on them. I think that is when I really got into audiobooks. To do two things at one time successfully is such an accomplishment. Well, it is to me, at least. I preferred the 500 piece puzzles because the 350 pieces didn’t take long to do. The 1000 piece puzzle was a little challenging due to the pieces being so small. If you get them from Dollar Tree, you get what you pay for. I was notorious for getting puzzles that were missing a piece or two. One time, I even picked a puzzle that was missing an outside piece 😕. When I was done with the puzzles, I would ship them to my mom. She never wanted the ones with a missing piece.
Now, I am having the hardest time finding puzzles. I guess the fad is over. I always liked to do puzzles, and I am a little sad that I can barely find one or two when I go to the store. This last puzzle haul, they only had 350 piece ones. And I have managed to complete one in a matter of hours.
I am going to spend my weekends scouring Dollar Trees in Toledo and the surrounding areas for puzzles. Lol. Seriously. What are some of the things you like to do in your spare time? If it is puzzles, do you prefer to do them alone or with others? Personally, I treat my puzzles like I treat my Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, don’t touch! Oh, maybe we can do a puzzle exchange. Think about it. Be well and whole. Much Love 🧡 💚
