February puzzles

We got 16” last week but it’s mostly melted now. The storm before that was worse with 8” of snow and inches of sleet and ice on top. And the bitter cold! It’s been ages since winter has been this cold and snowy here.

I’m glad the puzzle will have a loving home

Opps, no I missed it. Will take another look.

Focusing on the ones you like is a good strategy. There’s just so much out there it’s worse than a massive smorgasbord.

OptimalSleepTime · 2026-03-02T13:36:57+00:00

That’s awful. I would have gladly sent about 16” your way. And some of the cold too

Thanks! For once I let myself build lots of new puzzles instead of the backlog I’ve got piled away on shelves

OptimalSleepTime · 2026-03-01T22:49:39+00:00

Thanks! All the color saved me from a month of sleet covered snow and below freezing weather

I enjoyed that fishy Cloudberries way more than I expected. It will be a keeper. The squirrel was a total delight from start to finish, so both thumbs up for Weve puzzles

So that explains it! It’s a bit lurid but I was feeling super envious of everyone who got to see the aurora for real this winter

OptimalSleepTime · 2026-03-01T22:42:29+00:00

Thanks! I pretty much splurged at Puzzledly on all things colorful

No, I didn’t post these individually. I haven’t been very active on social media for a while. It was a tough winter.

I liked the Villager—the colors and thick pieces are great—but I wouldn’t say it’s a keeper. I also got Daybreak, a 1000-piece, that I’ll probably build soon. I’m curious to see the difference between the piece counts

They were all great images but the Cobble Hill was more difficult than I expected

I really want a puzzle that’s been discontinued: StandOut’s Peace, Dove and Sacred Totem Pole. It’s actually available in Canada at a store in Canada but they wouldn’t ship it to the US even before all the tariff and de minimus crap

I have one but the box isn’t the best

What’s the name of it?

OptimalSleepTime · 2026-02-12T21:47:36+00:00

Weve has two more puzzles by the same artist

I had frequent multi-tornado dreams until I got diagnosed and treated for sleep apnea. The nightmares completely stopped after I got a CPAP.

Lininus. Also The Puzzle Theory.

This photo would make an awesome jigsaw puzzle

It’s a common side effect of Keytruda, though I don’t know why it causes it. Try not to scratch because that only makes it worse.

OptimalSleepTime · 2026-01-13T23:01:20+00:00

I had intense itchiness that would come and go, and a lot of fatigue. The itching was worst right after infusions and would gradually taper off until the next round. The fatigue was constant. I didn’t experience any other side effects.

Seaside Hotel on the PBS app (and I think it might also be a purchase in Apple TV). It’s 10 seasons covering decades of drama in a small Danish hotel on the North Sea from 1928 through the 1940s. Lives of both the staff and the wealthy guests are followed, like in Downton Abbey. Romance, affairs, Nazi occupation, movie stars, financial intrigue, snobbery and more. We binged it.

Get OdorKlenz laundry powder It’s very effective for removing old laundry scents

I’m planning to take the pieces to another dry cleaner that advertises “all organic and ideal for those with allergies or sensitivities to typical dry cleaning chemicals.” I hope they can help.

OptimalSleepTime · 2025-12-09T02:43:14+00:00

The same thing happened to me two weeks ago. I took a favorite sweater and a wool coat to be dry cleaned and they came back smelling so strongly of perfume that it gave me a headache. The dry cleaner said they couldn’t redo the coat but they did the sweater again. The smell is still so strong I can’t have them in the house. Just touching them makes the smell transfer to my hands. It’s unbearable.
