Therapy stickers

 I've been very demotivated with painting  and organising figures recently... I go through phases of this from time to time but lately it's been a real issue.  I've got some figures out to paint and then they sit looking sadly at me and making me feel guilty for not picking up the brush. It'll be back in the box for a while for them I think.

In an attempt to make a little progress I decided to have a go at sorting out the wooden tiles used in Commands & Colours: Medieval.  When I bought a second hand copy recently I also got the Crusades expansion.  The previous owner had kindly put the stickers on all the core game tiles but hadn't played the game, and hadn't touched the Crusades set... maybe the hours of stickering and organising had left them with no enthusiasm for the game.  So last night I stuck on some music...Public Service Broadcasting since you asked...

...and began sorting out the different tiles by size and colour, and then the long job of applying the stickers.  And it was just what I needed!  Turns out it's a very mindful, relaxing activity... sort the cubes apply the sticker... make sure it's straight (my ASD tendencies meant that was really important!)...occasionally stroke a dog and ask him if he thinks the stickers look straight...

Yay... more stickering tonight!
