Milestone 2000
Having reached this nice round number, I'm now going to end my streak of daily NYTimes xword completions.

For some reason I can't bear doing Mondays and Tuesdays, but I must have violated that policy at least once.

Nice job! I think sometimes about blowing a puzzle on purpose right before my auto-renew so I can make a new account and start with fresh stats.
Speaking of...I have some streak weirdness going on right now. At the end of August we had a 3-day power outage and we ended up staying one night in a hotel. At 10 pm as usual I got the next day's crossword on my tablet and did most of it. I finished it the next morning but, as hotels are wont to do, it signed me out of their guest wi-fi overnight and since I was only doing that puzzle on the tablet, I didn't think about the connection. Then we went back to our no-power home and I forgot about it until 10pm that night to do the next one.
So...if I look at my NYT account on my phone or laptop, it shows a break on August 30th and I have a streak of about 50 days, but on the tablet where I successfully completed it while not connected to the internet, my streak is several hundred days long.

Here's the follow up image...
I might continue with Sunday's and probably also the daily mini until my current subscription finishes.
My times were still improving on every day of the week -- I'm not objectively competitive, but I had several personal bests within the past couple of months, which added entertainment to the early days of the week. I also had a weird thing with ipad tally versus regular computer at one point (and still have the email thread where I inquired about it... it was at day 1176).

That woulda been 8-ish times as many levels as I completed on Candy Crush back in the day.
I'm kinda liking 0 as a round number now.
