Well that was the first for a bit. I had to back track the title of this to write 2022 instead of 2021. It's actually my first slip up of the year so I'm pretty proud of myself.
Yesterday I got everything done and I'm pretty proud of that as well. I got all the computer work done and that in itself was a feat to get done.
The new puzzle I started the other night got worked on a bit. Small progress there. It'll be a bit with this one because it's a lot of colors and the pieces can sometimes fool you into thinking they go one place when they actually go somewhere else.
I even had time to start Brazen Virtue by Nora Roberts. I know they approved and have started airing the movie on Netflix based off of this book. I just don't want to watch it before I reread it. I've seen mixed reviews on it and one of them said that it didn't follow the book at all, in any way. So I want to refresh what I remember of it before I watch the movie.
It'll be the first Nora movie I didn't like if it didn't stick to the book. I've enjoyed the other movies they made off of her books so I'm hoping not to be disappointed.
Today I'm hoping to get the computer work done again. That always makes me happy. I also want to try to get the reviews done for Carrie Ann Ryan's ARC that I finished. It was so cute that I really want to do these reviews lol.
The continuation of sorting my books continues. I pulled a few more down yesterday but there are still more to pull before I can actually start putting them on the shelves right again.
I love my books but I hate being so anal about how they are. I would say OCD but it's not diagnosed and I'm not sure if it's really that severe to call it that. It just is.
Anywho...what is everyone else up to?

My husband feels that I have some sort of OCD
.
And I am still writing 2021 instead of 22 and then have to correct it. I should get a hang of it by January end
I love doing puzzles with my younger daughter. It has been months since we have done one. Maybe this time we should go for small 2k pieces. It's fun to do the bigger complicated ones.

@JordanLader That's good. We often keep one table in the corner occupied for that. We do it for some time after dinner and it takes us few days to finish it. It is fun and addictive. I find it a good way to connect with my daughter.

@arunima25 I can't do puzzles with people. Everything has to be organized and if someone is there I can't really see the picture. I'm complicated lol. It's great that you and your daughter connect this way though :)

My husband bought me a puzzle board so I can take puzzles where I need to and it only goes up to 1500 pieces. I have some 2K but not many.

You sound a bit like me. I can be a bit OCD at times but not diagnosed and I don't think it's severe enough to call it that either. In the kitchen I like things to be in the right place. I'm always moving them around. The small plates always go just THERE when they're waiting to be washed up, and the big plates go THERE and cutlery THERE and if anyone moves them I get agitated! My mug lives THERE when it's not being used and if my Step-Dad doesn't put things back where they belong after he's dried up I get irritated about that too!

See it's just my books and movies. If my CDs were out and visible they'd probably drive me nuts as well. They have to be in a certain order. The movies are by alphabet, my books are by authors first name then series then alphabetical. CD's would be alphabetical by band. Video games are organized by system then alphabet.
No one touches my stuff...literally

@JordanLader My Doctor Who DVD's are organised in chronological order on a shelf in my wardrobe, 1st Doctor DVD's - 7th Doctor DVD's then the 8th Doctor's Doctor Who TV movie. Modern Who is then on another shelf in my wardrobe, 9th Doctor - 13th Doctor in order!

@sharonelton We have so many that they have to be in order. I have a collection app that helps me keep them that way. Also it helps me from doubling things when I go out.
