Monday since Cassie was yowling periodically all night I was awake and got up at 9:30. She was very needy this morning and cleaned out my spaghetti bowl when I was done with it. It was a pretty, sunny day that I loafed away... a foreseeing of life after Leofwyna should the day come. Leofwyna called near midnight from Kansas City.

Sunday the guests were up and out before I woke and I was awake about 10:30. Midafternoon I headed out for a late lunch, some library time, and then gaming at the Doerr's. Buck got to play but only got 363 experience points; we found ogres and orcs in fortress ruin. Back at home at the sewing table I was building multi-color strip blocks for a future border.

Monday I was up to the alarm at eleven. It was a frigid, grey day so I stayed in all day alternating computer with a nap and sewing more strip blocks.

Monday evening as I was putting together scalloped potatoes (using the last of my homegrown potatoes) I thought to suggest to Leofwyna that we invite Morgana to supper. She'd had a heart attack last Thursday while visiting with Cassie and was back home with two new stents. Anyway Leofwyna called and fetched her while I finished making supper and we had a nice visit with her before Leofwyna returned her home. Tuesday after I went to FoodNet we ate leftovers before heading to the movie, Logan. It was a dark ending to that particular part of the X-men series. All week I've been sleeping late and frittering away the wet, grey afternoons. Wednesday was, of course, the MagMor group followed by supper. A plan was made for a Pirate party at the Great Machine at Lilies this year. At the sewing table I'm still putting together 10.5-inch Kronberg blocks.

At FoodNet this time I got Ritz crackers, a can of white beans, two small tubes of Pringles, a couple Granny Smith apples, one potato, croissants, hard rolls, and half a dozen brown eggs.

Saturday after lunch and a couple sessions on the library computer I finished peicing the pumpkin tower banner abd made up a batch of banana bread.  It was a pretty day but Leofwyna and I agreed to take it easy a day since we knew the next few days will be even prettier for working outdoors.

Monday I futzed and puttered around all afternoon expecting Leofwyna and thinking I needed to be there to help deliver the RAV to the repair center.  When she gets home about four it turns out that's two blocks up the street and I'm not needed so I took off to run a couple errands.  Tuesday after sleeping past noon I loafed through the afternoon and in the evening we went to a $5 movie (Inside Out... it was a notional original animation).

Sunday I spent a good part of the day loafing but finally got in gear and spent an hour in the community garden trimming the grass along the outside of the fenceline and watering thoroughly.  Want to soften things up for weeding tomorrow.  Harvested one squash and a handful of green beans.

All quiet, cold days with the usual computer, sewing table and supper-making cycles. 

It was snowing this morning and neither of us was inclined to go out in it.  This worked out just fine as there was still leftovers to eat and projects to occupy our time.

Friday and Saturday... I've become a slug with Leofwyna gone on her trip.  The computer and sewing machine hold my attention and only the responsibility of feeding Morgana's cat gets me cleaned up and out of the house.  The weather has been fine and I shouldn't be wasting it with only a week left in October.

Monday resembled Sunday in loafing levels except Leofwyna was gone to work.  I followed up a Craig's List lead and Tuesday I purchased a tent for when I go camping alone.  That way the big tent can last a little longer for the two of us and it should be a lot easier to put up the smaller one my own.  Tuesday evening as Leofwyna headed out to work again I got out and mowed the lawn.  Such a pretty, cool evening I was able to get it all in one 'swell foop'.  Tonight I have the house fan on pulling in that lovely cool fresh air.
