Sudoku Obsession

So surprised was I when one day I discovered a propensity for Sudoku, a game involving numbers for math was not my forte, but now the game made sense my mind was focused now to solve the puzzle, hence sequences and deductions became my preference. I played it in the morning, after my breakfast tea I played it in the afternoon, with dog beside my knee I played it in the evening, neglecting the TV I played it standing in long lines, absorbed as I could be. In short, I played the game so much throughout the live long day my obsession with Sudoku ruled my mind in every way... ...until I discovered computer Scrabble then, quite suddenly, Sudoku up and flew away! 10/10/2020

I can relate to this obsession, Laura, but I control my playing time, usually only after meals when I take a break. Lately I came in contact with WWF...now hooked on it:) Regards // paul

I've had obsessions with both of these games too, Laura! Sudoku went by the wayside after a year or two, I much prefer Scrabble. Very entertaining write, my friend!

I love your tale of obsession. I too am a very obsessed person with the things I love doing. This stuff would never be my obsessions but I "get" you very well here!!
