Sunday night gaming on ZOOM with Agnes.  Pepe and the gang fought off a tribe of Reptiloids but later got caught up in a battle with hill giants which will need to be finished in two weeks when she's back from Hawaii. 

Monday I headed out on a lovely day for lunch, then errands, gassing up the car, picking up the mail and checking at the library for a book on hold.  Back at home walked Bonnie, dealt with the mail, then spent the rest of the afternoon and evening on the laptop.

Tuesday I made a quick run to the grocery store then home again so Leofwyna could get out for an afternoon of errands. I started some boneless ribs in the crockpot for supper.  As it's another pretty day Bonnie got another walk and I caught up the journaling before I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening on the laptop.

9am... the grey overcast and cold is back, right on schedule.  Put chicken legs in the crockpot and stayed in all day with sniglets and computer ancestry.  Rented a movie, News of the World, with Tom Hanks in the evening.

11:30 and I slept somewhat better last night. A nasty 'intruder' dream woke me early and I had a little trouble getting the last bit of sleep from that. It's nice today, having the computer upstairs for the afternoon and limiting the stairs. Leofwyna headed out for some more errands; she returned the CR water to Menards. I put her corned beef in the crock pot for supper. I trounced Leofwyna at Canasta after supper then downstairs to the sewing table where I assembled some of the 16-patches. Had Leofwyna carry up the laptop when she headed upstairs and got myself upstairs for my evening computer time. I'm still breathless with any exertion.

Monday (11:00) up and out for groceries needed to make Thai beef in the crockpot then out to lunch and library computer for genealogy. At the sewing table finished 31 6-1/2-inch sniglet blocks with many more to go.

The last thing before going to bed I started a batch of Thai Beef in the large crock pot so Sunday morning it was ready to can up in six pints for the pantry. A quart of the broth went into the fridge; I have an idea to use it for a sort of sloppy joe mixture this week. Part of the afternoon and again in the late evening I continued work on the Kronberg blocks. Gaming tonight was at Theron's with Mark as DM, I was playing the Buck Bannerman character.

Friday... I put turkey legs in the crockpot with a pint of 'pineapple squash' and made mashed canned potatoes.  We won't mash canned potatoes again, not horrible but definately meh.  There was ten for $10 at Goodwill and I brought a bag of ten home plus a 4 yard piece of wool that will become a winter tunic.  Saturday we went up to Omaha for coronation and Sunday was Baronial A&S so it was a busy and incredibly hot weekend.

Friday I put turkey legs and pineapple squash in the crockpot.  It rained early so yardwork and gardening are off the docket so I ran genealogy and 'logs' at the sewing table alternately.  Leofwyna is pretty sure she wants to retile the laundry room floor while the room is cleared out.  That puts quite a shift in the task load I'd outlined initially as we'll have to schedule someone to do the tile work before we put up the shelves and put things away.

Thursday I put on the crock pot with Thai Beef.  I knew I'd be working in the garden this afternoon.  The rest of the beds are thoroughly weeded and I watered at both locations.  There was a pile of branches off the maple tree so I stripped the leaves into the compost pile and harvested the larger branches for garden supports.  At the sewing table in the evening I sorted through the linen scrap bag... I need to make ties for the camera garb.

Friday I popped a corned beef in the crock pot and wiped out the oven; the door came nicely clean.  Re- sprayed the rest of the nasty crust in the oven with more Easy-off and left it to sit again.  Made the run to the bank to return Leofwyna's passport to the deposit box.  When Leofwyna got up she went outside to work and I tried to finish cleaning the oven.  I made some progress but there's still lots of crust in the upper corners.  I haven't decided yet which way to go... more Easy-off or another, longer, heat treatment.  If I go for heat though I need to wait until tomorrow when the windows can be left open.

Wednesday I was so lazy I didn't even go out for Philosophy night... Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I mainly loafed on the 'puter doing the genealogy thing.  I'm finally nearly current on everything available to 1000.  Today I did throw some drumsticks into the crockpot and assembled them this evening into my chicken potpie casserole.
