11am... cloudy, grey and damp. Out for lunch. I got the boxes of magazines out of the corner and over by the door to take out. The trip tote got as far as the bedroom. Bonnie spent most of the afternoon in the kennel; she asked to go out and didn't pee and each timen (three times) I let her out and took her out she ended up back in the kennel until finally we achieved success sand she was free. It rained during the evening; I had to dig out the umbrella when it was time to take Bonnie out again. Carol Thompson, in Illinois, offered Leofwyna the use of her camper trailer and will tow it up to 2 hours to meet her,
10am, sunny and breezy. Out for lunch and back before Leofwyna left for her appointment. Walked four blocks with Bonnie. Cleared recycling from the kitchen sink. Helped Leofwyna unload the car when she got back. Reorganized the freezer to make room for CR prep. Boiled up two packages of chicken backs and a package of giblets to reduce its volume in the freezer. A bunch of old and/or unidentifiable things went into the trash can outside.
Up and out for lunch then home again to sort 'stuff' from my corner. Left a message for Susan to learn why. Couldn't get the mower going so raked and blew leaves in front yard to dump in the compost bins Gerald got mostly emptied this summer. Wore both of us out getting just 3/4 of the front done today. Got the box and pile of 'stuff' from my corner sorted, organized, and somewhat reduced. Spent the evening on laptop watching tv with Leofwyna.
Up and out for lunch then back home to do some more organizing. Told Leofwyna details about interview so between the both of us we got the living area cleared and looking pretty good. Later in the afternoon the ZOOM meeting didn't work out because the camera is off on the laptop for some reason we are unable to decipher (they'll try to arrange an in-home visitor here in Lincoln). After supper we managed a quiet evening with tv and laptop.
Up and out for lunch. Since I still don't have the car AND there's the interview for the dog adoption Thursday I worked on stuff in my room, carrying the tote of frips/stash purchases downstairs and bringing up clean laundry, then clearing the sofa in the living room. I switched my closet to winter and put NHC stuff in the empty tote. I rode with Leofwyna to Walt library for business moot and supper with the group at Applebee's. Gerald came home with us for his nap before heading to work.
It rained during the night. While Leofwyna was gone running her errands this afternoon I continued gathering up my bags and boxes and sorting things out. At bedtime though I had to clear most of it away so I could sleep there. I put together supper for us from leftovers from the trip which was more successful than either of us thought would be possible.
Up and out to lunch then library for computer time before gaming at the Doerr's tonight with Arne as DM so Buck played. A red dragon's ship offered transport so we left our riding animals behind. We approached a plateau where two artifacts are to be found and made our way up, dispatching a couple guards along the way and started digging for the first artifact, a giant's ring. The second artifact will be a giant's legbone when we get to it. Back at home stayed upstairs catching up on Solitaire and watching tv with Leofwyna. Loaded burners into dishwasher and cleaned the stove... suggested she make lists of what she perceives needs doing and we cross things off as they're completed as she wants me doing more and I want to be sure it's things she wants done, saving myself doing things she doesn't particularly appreciate.
Up and out for lunch then home to the computer where something went haywire... maybe scammer? Finished closet purge and went to library for computer time and to calm/think what to do about the laptop. Home again went downstairs to finish webbing the flimsy and start the horizontals. Had trouble getting to sleep.
Up and dealt with pants/closet then lunch followed by computer time staying in all day. ZOOM gaming tonight with Agnes DM playing Thomas as we were a large enough group tonight. We're passing through a marshy area in late afternoon where 'cranes' were settled for the night. Tried not to disturb them but failed and many closed in on us. Found an opening in some ruins leading down a flight of stairs. Played my Arrows of Lightning spell brilliantly if I do say so myself.
Today was a pretty day; I stayed home and did some work in the garage. Aurik was to come select some Gold Key but he was a no-show. After supper we headed downstairs. While I was sitting (breathing) I saw a male cardinal checking out the red sprinkler head on the hose laying in the front yard. I'm putting together an autumn sniglets top for Aurora since there's no laptop to keep me busy.
Up and sorted piles of paper into recycling bag then out for lunch. Stopped in at Apple Goodwill (no purchase) on the way to Walz library for computer time. Though I heated up supper when I got home I don't think that qualifies for my weekly supper duty so I've got to think of something for tomorrow. I stayed upstairs on the laptop through the evening while Leofwyna headed downstairs for more merchanting prep. I did dig into the paper piles more tonight and finished filling a bag of paper for recycling.

Up and lunch. Stripped the bed for laundry, folded and put away previous laundry. Pulled Gold Key tote from car to garage, sorted ''homeless' garb tote and bagged final Camera Key stuff. Brought Yule Court bag and mantle into house. Baked cinnamon rolls and worked ancestry on laptop all evening.
9:50... up and out for lunch and thrift stores... and skipped thrift stores (light-headed) but groceries for supper and headed home for laptop time. ignabiorg came over to help Leofwyna get event water into garage and we were able to schedule massage appointments for the next three months until her registry runs out. Unfortunately she's thinking she'll ___ herself for awhile as business is still slow. I've made contact with Bristol for shifting and sorting so once I'm past all the light-headedness perhaps I can get that done.
8:30... Up and out for lunch... home again to pull the 22s out of the summer side of the closet to sort and pass on to Leofwyna and Cera. Took an afternoon nap. Magmor social tonight was lighter than last week but pleasant anyway. Apparently I've caught Leofwyna's cold and so spent an uncomfortable night with it.
8:20... a pretty day. Put away weekend purchases... still amazed the size I'm getting into these days. Out for lunch and thrift store. Not enough energy today to do all I wanted. Did pull the 22s out of the winter side of the closet to sort and pass on to Leofwyna and Cera. On the computer for the rest of the afternoon, canasta after supper (Leofwyna trounced me) and downstairs where I discovered Cassie had wet the chicken top so had to soak it with PineSol. Can't lay it outside though as rain is predicted.
8am... the vest woke me this morning. Another pretty day for a slow start. Walked to the corner three times this afternoon. Had Leofwyna bring a box out of the garage for me to sort through on the front step while she was working outside. Worn out so stayed upstairs after supper.
