| | I took yesterday off. I didn't mean to. I just went upstairs to feed the dog and saw the puzzle. We started the puzzle on Easter. It usually doesn't take us this long to put one together, but this was a mosaic Star Wars puzzle. It was quite difficult. There were so many images that were repeats. Actually I wonder if there were. Some of them looked very similar, but I wonder if they were just maybe a frame different. I actually think that's the case. But I would stare at a puzzle piece for minutes and stare at the finished image to try and find where the piece went. I was usually successful with this method, but of course it would only give me an approximation of where the piece went. So I would try and carefully put the piece near where it went. The problem was, my daughters were also putting pieces where they thought they went based off of color schemes. I finally had to just start going through all the pieces one by one and moving them around. When I did this, it really started to come together. Well, we ended up finishing it yesterday and I never went running. I wore my running clothes all day, which wasn't great. I sweated in them and got a rash. But the rash was mostly gone by this morning, so I put on a bunch of Body Glide and went out. I know I give too much personal details, but luckily nobody reads my blog anymore.
It's supposed to be 104º today. I'm glad I got up early while it's still somewhat cool. I wasn't feeling great this morning. I have really been struggling with sleep lately. I think because I've gained so much weight. I just snore all night, and I feel more tired when I wake up than when I go to bed. So, I think I'm going to try and do better at not overeating. I don't feel like I do, but my enormous gut says otherwise. The run was fine. I saw some familiar faces.
