74. Do a jigsaw puzzle



















I had fully intended on finishing this puzzle in one day. But after the first day, my eyes were hating me and I was hating the puzzle for having no definite "sky" or "ground" colours. I mean, normal puzzles are bad enough when they have a huge sky and you have to figure out which blue piece goes beside which blue piece. This puzzle was a bit of a pain because each piece could be either sky or water. Anyway... half way through I stopped (you know, for sleep and stuff) and before I started again, I had to Google to see if this was in fact a jigsaw puzzle (because when you spend that much time staring at tiny pieces, you get a little worried that all the work put in won't count) and it is. Thank goodness.

The third day, I went snowboarding and got a concussion. I came home that night trying to put pieces in but after about 3 I decided sleep might be a better idea. I finished it the fourth day and let Andrew put the last piece in because we were originally supposed to do this puzzle together but I decided I wanted a project for myself and started this secretly without him knowing. He obviously eventually found out as it's sitting in the middle of our bedroom.
