Monday and Leofwyna was off for hand surgery (trigger fingers). I waited for the Mohrhoff (now Ty Service) delivery at 2pm before heading out myself. Spent the bulk of the afternoon doing genealogy at the library computer. Finished leftover bean soup and cornbread for supper with peach shortbread for desert. Downstairs in the sewing room I boxed up the seven Kronberg tops, assembled the first of two flannel tops, hemmed dish towels and making dust covers for my shelves.

Wednesday spent the afternoon on the library computer then went to Moot and supper (Red Robin) with the gang. Learned Leofwyna is to have surgery Monday to remove the tips of two toes (one each foot) as infection has entered the bone there. Yipes!

Monday was Leofwyna's day of surgery to correct the problems she has in her left foot.  Three different procedures in one go so she'll have to stay OFF that foot for six weeks.  She's already thinking she'll have to go through this again next year for the other foot.  I am SO glad my feet are good 'cause the whole idea of foot surgery is freaky to me.

I drove over to the hospital with her so the van wouldn't end up six weeks in the parking lot and then went back to pick her up when she called near 4pm.  She's working out how the crutches work and I did supper for us.

Two weeks later... I'm back.  Turns out it wasn't the computer's problem.  The black box was fried.  It's been replaced and I'm on the laptop we inherited.  I need to get a cable to link the old computer to the new black box before we can use that.  I also need to find out what we need to add on so we can both be on a computer at the same time.

Additionally, Leofwyna spent six day in hospital with a kidney stone.  All this turned things topsy-turvey for me between visiting her and the computer library lab to try to keep up and I had to let posting go for the while.

Such pretty weather we were having too.  Crocus are up, robins and mourning doves staking out their territories, and the cardinals are in the treetops singing "spring is here, spring is here, pretty-pretty-pretty!".  Leofwyna missed out on a lot of that and now she's home again it's taken up snowing again.  I may regret not having gotten out to work on the raised beds during the good weather but I'm hoping to accomplish that in the next couple weeks when the fair days return.

Leofwyna goes back to work next Tuesday.  Meanwhile I'm keeping myself available to entertain her between naps.   Today we hit all the Goodwills for 99 cent clothing sale and I found denim shorts for this summer and several cutter shirts for garb and quilting.  By the time we got home she headed in for a nap while I put together a tuna cassarole for supper.
