Addiction, Obsession, or Amusement

I'm not sure what to call it, but I really enjoy doing Sudoku puzzles.  Not just the one in the daily paper, or an occasional one found in the airline magazines.  I download and print them from two sites on the web, and usually do between 5 and 8 puzzles per evening.   I alternate between Suduko and reading.  A couple of puzzles, then some reading etc.

 I have RLS (restless leg syndrome) and find that if I just sit and read my legs are all over the place.  As soon as I am concentrating on a puzzle, they calm down.

 I have compared notes with my sister, who also has RLS, and she tells me her legs are calm when she is doing counted cross stitch, but when she reads she sometimes feels like walking around with the book.

Just a little tidbit about me.  Suduko will be a light and easy take along on the road!

Painting: Got the first coat on all the cross beams in the area I pictured yesterday.   I have decided not to include the window area in this weeks paint target.  I will start the 2nd coat tomorrow.  

Surprisingly, I was not at all stiff this morning.  Was out by 8:30!
