Why I Hate Doing Puzzles, Especially In Pandemics

Shelter in place…

Stay at home…

Quarantine…

Yadda-yadda…

If you didn’t do it then you prob know someone, maybe even a whole familia, who did all the above.

Dad’s quirky habits of tweezing his ears became something you can’t UN-see…

Mom’s secret afternoon nap gave away her hack for all that crazy energy she seems to always have…

Your little bro was stuffing dirty socks in your pillowcase (is that why my pillow seemed so lumpy and smelly?)…

What’s a person to do.

What’s a person to do to stay sane in a time where things seem to be in a literal constant flux and at the same time frozen in place.

Hey…I know.

Let’s build a puzzle.

We’ll do a masked laden, 6' apart, socially distanced trip to Wal-Mart and grab one of those 1,000 piece puzzles that we all agree is the place we wanna go visit when this is over so let’s build a puzzle of the Vatican. (Dunno why I chose the Vatican it literally was the 1st thing I thought of).

You go to Wally world.

You get the Vatican (puzzle).
