So Got To Stop This......

Comment Published at 23:2523:2524 comments24 comments51 Visits51 VisitsReport

I'm talking about torturing my body that is!  I got two 3D sphere puzzles for Mother's Day (and some other goodies) and the other night decided I would have a go at one of them.  Lightbulb Idea

Ok, now I'm the kind of person who will keep at a puzzle until I fall asleep on top of it or it is finished.  This time, I told myself I had to be in bed before 2am.  yeah, right, I sat on the floor, stretching out when I needed to, and plodded my way through the 540 pieces in front of me.Wakka Wakka

Well, the puzzle is done, was finished by 6am! lol.  I went and had a shower and crawled into bed just as Les was getting up!  When I crawled out of bed several hours later, I noticed I had sore spots all over me. Electric

One thigh feels as though I have been kicked by a horse.  The same side of ribs feels as though I went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson.  I have a bruise on my knee from resting my elbow there which means my elbow also has a bruise on it. Shocked

I swear, 9 1/2 hours of sitting on the floor turned me into a used punching bag! lol.  I could barely walk, and this was on top of still recovering from my trip to Brissy and the day of washing I did on Sunday (Mother's Day treat, oh yeah, me under the house all on my own leaving Les with cranky kids! lol).Thinking

Now, i have one more puzzle to do, but I am just not game to open it for fear of another 9 1/2 hours on the floor and the lack of being able to walk or move for the next week!Embarrassed

Even sitting here typing hurts in my ribs, and sleep is damned near impossible, due to the bruises all being on the side I prefer to sleep on.  Oh, and having the flu back means when I cough my lungs and ribs feel like they are going to burst out of my body! lol.Arrow Head

Can I say sucker for punishment?

For future reference:  No more puzzles on the floor!Falling Off Chair Laughing

Bed?  What's that?  Oh, I just spent 13 hours in there pretending to sleep! lol.

I managed to get up, just.  Almost knocked everything over, but still got up.

Ok, so the floor was not the best place to be.  I found a massive wear mark in the carpet too! lol.

I had to finish it as we can't completely stop our girls destroying things on my computer table, but if I had of known it was going to take 9 1/2 hours, I would have started as soon as the girls were in bed! lol.

Re: So Got To Stop This......

Arna sorry but you rate as the most excentric minti member, in my book. Sorry to hear about the bruises and flu and I do hope you are well soon, but you really do put a smile on my face with your wonderful, joyous excentricities, please dont ever change.LOL. Keep smiling and dont ouch too much.

Luv Winnie.xxxx

Don't worry, I'll never change.  If I did, I reckon I'd be hiding in the bush somewhere jumping down the throats of any creature who comes my way, ants included.  Being a little more eccentric means that I can provide a little bit of light for others.  Ok, so I'm stark raving mad!  No one has sued me over it yet! lol.

Ouch! I think you better HIDE that other puzzle. If you're anything like me (and it sounds like you are. i can't quit 'em either once i start!) you won't be able to hold back for long.  I hope those bruises go away soon. If you can't get good sleep you're not going to get over the flu. Take care of yourself!

I've been beating up on my body doing the laundry instead.  Too cold to be sitting on the floor now, and the heater just melts the puzzles! lol.

The flu isn't that bad this time round, just sitting at the top of the chest and is probably more to do with the colder air than anything else.  Oh, and the lack of humidity.

Re: So Got To Stop This......

You have no idea how bad I can be! lol.  We used to have a massive hot water tank that never ran out and I could spend hours in there just listening to music.  Shame the girls came along as now I'm down to a 10 min shower if I am lucky! lol.  I've also been known to spend 12 hours at a time writing or reading too, especially when I should be doing other things or should be in bed.

Bean bags?  ROFL.  I can't get up off the couch! lol.  Mine are easy to do, just follow the numbers on the back and hope like anything you don't crush the work already done.  When they are finished, they will be going in my display cabinet.  Oh, better clear some room for them.

Or you could hunch over a table for days like I do and get a crook back LOL  But I didn't hunch while I was preggy or sit on a hard floor. Although I totally understand the obsession with puzzles. I have about 2 dozen here that I was looking to pass on. Want them?

LOL.  When will I have time?  I'm getting all the me time I can in advance 'cos when Puggle comes along, I won't get much at all, maybe 5 mins to have a shower! lol.

Names, yeah, almost got Les convinced that our little girl is going to be called Aralia Dawn Scammell.  Aralia is another tree related word that also fits the pattern of starting and ending with the same letter.
