Puzzle Moments

Like I mentioned before I've been doing puzzles. So I thought I would show you them since I have a bunch done. I glue them so eventually I will hang them. I do have a question though for you puzzle people out there. Currently (I've been doing one a week) I'm working on this one.

This was given to me by a journal friend of mine Bonnie who I've mentioned numerous times for Christmas about 2 years ago. I haven't been able to do it cuz I haven't had a big enough space to do it on. Its a panoramic puzzle. Very long. As a matter of fact I'm doing this one in two parts. Because I really want to do it. So I've got most of done as you can see. The pic shows part of it.....I have everything but the sky to do. Which leave me with this question. How does one do a puzzle where all the pieces are the same color, as shown below.

These are the pieces I have left. I have sat there for about 2 hours only to get I'm maybe 5 pieces. It is almost impossible. But I will get it done!! It might take another year since I have to do one piece at a time..But IT WILL BE DONE!!

here are some others that I've done so far....The glare in the pics are horrible.....

I loved the colors in this one.


This is one of a series that I fell in love with. She has a castle on her head. This picture does not do it justice. Its really a beautiful scene. There are all kinds of hidden things in it.


same with this one. Same woman, same damn glare, only this time she has a reptile (I can't spell equana) on her head. You can't really see them but there are hidden stuff in this one too.


and finally this one. I plan to frame them one day.

no to much is going on with me. Still looking for a job. Its getting very depressing. March is here, its been over a month now and I'm really starting to panic. On a good note, ill be doing a work at home thing most likely starting as soon as this weekend. So that will be good, for now. But I'm really worried.

yesterday I took one of sarahs friends to a doctors appointment so that she can pick up her meds and nobody was around to take her so I did. It was a very disturbing trip. Her friend suffers from panic attacks and depression. So she's on medication. she's been out for the last 2 weeks and needed to get more. So we go. We must have waited for almost 2 hours watching everyone come and go...People who have been there after us going in to see the doctor. It seemed that the doc wasn't taking people in any particular order...Just random choosing I guess. So we waited. And waited. I see his nurse running back and fourth to this room coming out with a bag (kmart, sears, target, local grocery store type bags) of meds and when the patient leaves she hands it to them. sarahs friend in 18. Just about everyone else there was considerably older and quiet frankly looked like they needed some help. Finally the doc calls her in. I ask her if she wants me to go in with her, she says yes. So I do.

we walk in, I sit down, get introduced, and hear him talk about how its been a long time since he has seen her (October) and how long has she been without meds. She says 2 weeks, he says no problem, we'll get you some today to take with you and then proceeds to fill out this form. He says, while pointing stuff out on the form that "this shows that you came on your appointed day, this shows that I have talked to you and this is what we have talked about, mood swings, depression, changes, etc....Sign here and date."

"well it was nice to see you again, we'll see you again in 6 months, Nancy will get your meds for you, have a nice day."

that was it. I sat there stunned. The whole thing took 5 minutes and all those things he checked off on the form HE DIDN'T EVEN DISCUSS!!! I was floored by this. The doc and I made eye contact and I looked at him like, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!! I didn't even know what to say and I just looked at him and laughed, shook my head in disgust and walked out mumbling I don't know what. I was very disappointed. You hear shit like this all the time but I guess I never really thought I would ever see it. Doctors just pushing the meds. He didn't even ask her any questions!!

Sarah has off of school tomorrow and were going to see Diary of Mad Black Women. Can't wait!! We just watched the play the other night and oh.my.gosh. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. I'm really looking forward to the movie.

and that about does it for me. I'm so bored with my life right now, I can't even begin to tell you. And I have no ambition to do anything either. I just want to.......Well lets not go there......LOL.

have a good one!
