Puzzled by my puzzle...

One concert down, two more to go...As much as I love this time of year, it never fails to surprise me in how incredibly busy, and tiring, it can be!
Managed to get a little writing done today...nothing substantial, nothing euphoric and meaningful, but I put a few more words to the story and that was satisfying. I am grateful to NaNoWriMo for encouraging me to write like crazy, but I'm also enjoying not having the pressure while all this other stuff is going on! I'm content to write a little, for now. Can't wait till the holidays, and having a huge chunk of time to get my story going.
I find the hardest thing now, is that I anticipate what is to come...I have all these events and ideas, but my fingers just can't seem to type fast enough to get me, and my characters there. But I don't want to just skip over to those scenes...I want to write something meaningful in between, and not just "filler."
Worked on a puzzle tonight to relax. Not that puzzles are so relaxing...I feel frustrated half the time because I can't seem to find the right piece, and right now I'm mad at myself for always choosing such difficult puzzles! Snow...not a good subject. But, there is something very soothing in the act of puzzling, of having to be so methodical. Definitely takes my mind of other things, like school, I like to forget about over the weekend.
Maybe tomorrow I'll actually get the border done. But, even better, we're off to find our Christmas tree! Here's hoping there are no bears out in the forest with the same idea...
