No Time for an Additional Game

It’s cold back east. Four days in Scottsdale spoiled me for winter weather. Of course 39° at ten PM is not really cold. It’s just seasonable. It’s just a season I don’t love. I can’t complain as we have another week in nice weather coming right up.

I have a lot to do to get ready for my giant Bahamas class. I am almost finished painting and entire Mah Jongg set of demonstration cards. Today I painted green and red dragons and Jokers. I also put the numbers on the flowers so tomorrow I can paint all the individual flower tiles. I have had so much fun painting these cards that I am going to miss painting. I just know I can’t take on another hobby right now.

My college friends I was with this past week all play Spelling Bee in the New York Times Games. I already play Wordle, Connections and Waffle with them. Spelling Bee is just a line to far for me. The other games take mere minutes and are how I start my day. I can’t spend time trying to find fifty words, or however many there are, each day in Spelling Bee. I am also a terrible speller, so it feels like torture. Though being a bad speller sometimes helps come up with words you don’t even know are words.

For now I will hunker down indoors, stay home and paint. When I’m done with that I might look at a new game.
