Thanks for telling me @avant-garde 

Scratch that plan, many regular hugs being sent your way darlin. 

🫂🫂🫂🫂

Did you wanna see the pics of the puzzle table my grandma has? It's what i was gonna upload - but also happy to just sit with you 💜

[avant-garde]

@Jynx both? 

whacked my head and left shoulder on concrete...

[Jynx]

Sure @avant-garde! 

Oh ouch!! You poor thing, I hope you've got a cold compress or some ice to put on your swelling? Nooo your poor brain, hope it didn't get too rattled about 🥺

Here's the table!! I just love the idea of having a puzzle you can temporarily put away without ruining progress!!

And a bonus pic of the pieces of her jigsaw - it's kitties!! 

[avant-garde]

@Jynx cold compress might be an idea 

I have a drafting table with Velcro bits around the edge for felt but for my plastic puzzles no felt works better. 

I like the drawers in your grandma's one though

[Jynx]

Oh true @avant-garde is it that the felt is too fibrous? like the little wisps get in between the puzzle pieces? 

You know I have never once completed (or even really attempted... lol) a puzzle in my life?

[avant-garde]

@Jynx yeah, the back has bits of green everywhere

Some people don't have the patience for puzzles. 

But I don't see the point in golf or fishing which some people seem to enjoy...

[Jynx]

@avant-garde you and me both! My dad was a fisherman back when I was growing up. Never understood it! And the smell of dead fish is ALL I can think of whenever I smell seafood now so... I just don't eat it!! 

I think I would have the patience for a puzzle... maybe... hahaha but alas my biggest problem is not having a lot of surfaces in my house. I don't even own a dining table or any upright chairs! But puzzles are apparently good for memory and boy oh boy do I struggle with that!

[avant-garde]

@Jynx I don't have much space either so I do mini puzzles, 368 pieces is the size of an a5 page, 150 piece is smaller than a photo

*curls up wearily in @Jynx's arms*

[Jynx]

@avant-garde oooh that's cool! Hmmm maybe I'm tempted hahaha.... better not let my impulsive lil ADHD brain go too nuts about it tho, if I'm not careful I'll get hyperfocused and spend like $150 on puzzles, do half of them, then abandon it all to some dusty corner for 9 months 🤣

*sings soft songs of silly things to you*

[avant-garde]

@Jynx I like the singing...

You're logging off soon

But you'll be around tomorrow

@tyme is away at the moment, I like her too, but she needed the break, I hope she's taking it and not doing a million things

My case manager likes you, that we have a good relationship on here. She felt better that you'd be around today. We laugh at me going to a LGBTQ+ games store. She finds it funny that I don't do what my church thinks too.

Like "you don't go anywhere where people are employed on a Sunday because that's the day of rest and everyone should abide by it and you're encouraging them to work". Yeah they can shut up, I go to calm me down after church because you leave me alone triggered so they can shut up about it. 

Just like no one checked in on me today... not from church anyway...
