From Let Down to Possible Venture

 December 19--what a let down. Fio's decorations are looking jaded, the Christmas tree is old hat, and she herself is feeling out of sorts--especially because her home health nurse's tenure is over, which means your girl has no one to talk with face-to-face/mask any more, thanks to Covid.😢😢😢

What can Fiorella do now so she won't go stark raving crazy(er)? Well, looking at her page-long list, it looks like she could be finishing  off the parlor, but that can't happen until Son L hangs two pictures above the piano and takes her to the lumberyard to get four finished shelves to display the afore-mentioned figurines and other pretties from both sides of the family. HINT, HINT!

One of Fio's super list hopes for the new year is that someone will write out directions for the major operations she has to learn to do on the computer in order to join the modern world. (She was doing pretty good for a while there, but last year took a toll on her admittedly meager technological skills.

EEK, it looks like your girl missed an appointment with the tall, dark, and handsome doctor who is healing her left knee--the one that got injured when she tried to break a branch over it to augment her firewood last winter. Fiorella thinks the knee is doing well, but she'd really want a pro to check it out. (Did, uh, she mention that the doctor is also quite charming?)

Your girl studied the fallen oak leaves as she walked to the neighborhood's communal mailbox and, on her way back, decided to compose some kind of design with them on the two front windows that she commands. Will let you know what happens.
