Question 1574: Coloring book or paint by numbers? (and why…)
Coloring book. I never really liked doing paint by numbers, whereas coloring is a calming activity for me. The photo below from May of last year of my coloring book shelf is evidence of my interest in coloring, and there are more books now, they’re just in different places.
That being said, coloring really fell off over the past two to three months. I took a book with me one day in June when I had to sit in a waiting room for a long time, but I’d barely begun coloring the page when I felt “off.” That’s my term when I don’t feel well, but I can’t name any particular symptom. Like everyone else with a tendency to self-diagnose without any medical knowledge whatsoever, I decided one of my problems is my need for new glasses. I have a pair for computer work and a pair of bifocals that I use when I drive and sometimes when I watch TV. I know I need new computer glasses, and it seems more than coincidental that the “off” feeling frequently happens when I’m using the bifocals.
Today I finally scheduled and went to my eye exam. Though I’m a lot poorer, both pairs of new glasses will be ready for me to pick up in seven to ten days. Both eyes had changed. This is one of the health things I try to stay on top of because that’s really important for someone with diabetes, and I was overdue. The news about my overall eye health is all good. I’m glad to have done it and hopeful that the new prescriptions will help get rid of the “off” feeling.
I just color over the numbers with what I want, so to me they’re both coloring books.

‘in different places” isn’t that messing with your sense of organization??? you’ll end up spending time gathering them all into one place
PS the dragon fly has not been found
One day, a potential book title: The Elusive Dragonfly.
You know, a certain director has a film called The Butterfly’s Secret. Maybe it should have been The Dragonfly’s Secret.
