Fail

I went for my third day in a row solving with my eyes closed but messed up. Not sure where. I do know that the first time I messed up I had a flying something buzzing around my ear at one point. I don't know if that is when I messed up or not as I kept my eyes closed. I tried again later and failed again. This time it was when the family was outside playing in the water. Did it have something to do with it? Maybe. At any rate, I would like to be able to solve consistently even in the midst of distractions.

Now I am just working through the solve little by little checking as I go. When I got down to the last three edges I saw it was a 4-cycle. So when I am down to the last two edges, it would be a 3-cycle. I should take advantage of this whenever possible.

In other words, I could have done Juan understands lemons, Breann. And then finished the edges with a 3-cycle instead of two swaps. And on the corners I could have done Breann gets 2, Vic. And then finished the solve with a 3-cycle.
