10:25... cloudy and cold.  The car still doesn't start.  Called Dave; they're backed up two weeks and have no room in the lot.  I asked to be put in cue and they can let us know when they're ready to tow the car in.  Called Cera for a ride to go get the RAV.  Was afraid we'd have to dig it out but it was clear and we only had to brush snow off the back window.  We had invited her to join us for supper so I sent her to keep Leofwyna company while I went for my groceries and prescription.  It was snowing when she picked me up but stopped after only a couple inches before I was heading home from HyVee.  Cera scooped some of the walk for us before I got there.  She also helped me unload when I got home and I hurried to get the stroganoff made.  This turned out to be a particularly good batch and we have enough for supper again tomorrow.  The second jigsaw puzzle is coming right along as we take turns working on it.  I invited Cera to come back for supper Saturday as I'm planning a pot pie casserole which serves eight; takes us awhile to use it up so if she likes I'll send a portion home with her.

9:30... mostly cloudy and still Arcticly frigid.  Turns out Bonnie conned Leofwyna into letting her sleep on her bed.  Leofwyna says she was a perfect lady, sleeping straight through as she did, getting up for a bathroom break when she did and going back to sleep on the bed again.  That's how I found them this morning.  So far so good.  There was a little while of sun this afternoon for Bonnie but it clouded over again in short order.  The jigsaw being a complicated one is barely past half completed.  Gaming tonight with DM Agnes took a sidewise jink and half of Pepe's party was sucked into the Astral plane (much to everyone's surprise).  One must be careful about putting random bags you find into your bag of holding; you're left holding no bag and taking unexpected adventures. 

9am... another pretty day and I was up and out for lunch before heading to Unadilla for the afternoon while Gerald finished the high part of the east side.  After supper we headed downstairs to the puzzle again.

9:30... a pretty, sunny day and sending Leofwyna out to Unadilla so Gerald can get up on the ladder.  I spent the afternoon on the computer.  After supper we returned to the puzzle downstairs.  This is a big, complicated one.

9am... a pretty, sunny day... Leofwyna cooked a wonderful meal for us and we headed downstairs for jigsaw puzzle and movies in the evening.  

Up at 1:20... which I suppose makes up for the previous night's sleeplessness but screws up the day today. Broke up time on both computer and piecing through the afternoon. After watching more Covid reporting decided to go to the store to re-stock for April's in situ but upon realizing it was already 5:30 decided to wait until tomorrow to avoid probable late afternoon rush. After supper we started a second jigsaw puzzle. Later at the sewing table started trimming blocks.

Up at noon and spent computer time in the afternoon and also finished the batiste top. Volkmer called to set up ZOOM for gaming. Unfortunately our computer has no camera nor audio at this time and during the attempt was dropped out of the internet. We spent a computer-less evening with jigsaw and working up a plan for the next aurora tops.

Up at noon, put beans and ham on to cook low and slow all afternoon, then out for BK lunch and drive-around. Back home again on the computer downstairs while Leofwyna slept on. Later in the afternoon made a grocery run and stocked up on some basic pantry items. three packages of pork and for a treat apples, marshmallow fluff and cream cheese. After supper we checked out the Lime Dessert Bars which are really good so I'm happy I can plan another batch next week to use up limes, macadamia nuts and coconut that are still left for use. Instead of Canasta tonight we set up the table downstairs to work on a jigsaw puzzle getting about half done.

Wednesday [2-9] finished MQ clue 5 before noon. Leofwyna had an appointment so we didn't start the puzzle we'd planned until she came back. Shee took me to supper at Granite City especially for the Lobster pasta special. Back at home we opened Christmas stocking gifts, then I opened birthday ones. Lots of nice goodies. We spent more puzzle time while watching the third Fellowship of the Rings movie. We ended up the day downstairs where I sorted thread. Both of us have been picking 'em up the past couple months.

Sunday and we finished one puzzle and started another. Gaming tonight was Munchkin with just four of us but it was fun and I want Leofwyna to experience it sometime.
