Outside, the sun’s shining, the temperature is a nippy, slightly breezy 41 degrees. I’m ready for it to get warm enough for me to start working on the pool. It’s an icky chartreuse at the moment!

I’m a little tired after “mom duty” last night, but it’s nothing a strong cup of coffee won’t cure. Then I’m going to tackle bills, do some housecleaning, and maybe, just maybe, write a little today…

Complete the puzzle then tell me what you can’t wait for…
It’s obvious what I can’t wait for. 🙂

Those of you who didn’t solve the snow globe puzzle from earlier this month missed out on a lovely holiday picture! I love snow globes. I hope to start a collection of them one day—after I finish working on my Marvel and DC figurines! I’ll have to make space.

Here’s hoping you have a wonderful celebration today, filled with gifts, and family, and good food—and most importantly warm hugs.

And because I know at some point you will want an excuse to sit down in the quiet, here’s one last holiday-themed puzzle for you enthusiasts!

Tell me your favorite element of this picture, and then tell me the answer to this question: Is the holiday marching toward you or are you marching toward it?

I’m falling behind and behinder! Yes, things are crazy here. We have mom health issues going on, for which everyone is pitching in. My dd is leaving on a cruise, so I’m moving across the street to watch dogs and cats (11 in all—plus a Guinea Pig!). I have editing jobs lining up, one right after the other. I need to begin a new book or finish an old short story. Doesn’t matter which—I need to write words! And I’m making Christmas gifts, but not fast enough! Everything store bought is bought, but I like to add some pretties to stockings, but production is sloooooow… So, yes, holiday stress is running high.

So…I thought a puzzle would be nice. Something sweet to remind us of how it feels when the holiday finally arrives. Enjoy a moment of peace. And then, comment below, telling me what has you stressed or if you’re made of steel nerves and aren’t stressed at all! I’ll do a random pick and send the commenter the download of their choice from among my 200 releases!

Happy Thanksgiving!
