The Last Sun

I mentioned a couple days ago about the puzzle competition I found. Well it took a large number of hours, but I managed to solve all 8 of the puzzles. So I’m feeling pretty triumphant. It was a bit exhausting, but also exhilarating, especially the ones where the nature of the puzzle was part of the puzzle. I think not knowing the type of puzzle you are dealing with is sometimes the most intimidating aspect. And there were a couple of puzzles which even once I knew what the ‘trick’ was, it still took a long time to ‘puzzle’ it out.

In other news, we are now into the third day of lockdown. Nothing too different for us as I mentioned since we were pretty much self locked down before. The kids have settled into a bit of a routine and are a bit calmer as well. Perhaps the non-stop meditation music we have playing is helping. Either way, the interruptions I get are periodic now, instead of just constant insanity.

Or that is the case at the moment, at least eleven more days for chaos to rear its head. :)

Things I’m grateful for:

• The elation of solving a tough puzzle
• Other puzzle enthusiasts
• Streaming meditation music
