Trying to Get Back into Shape

 The funny papers don't seem to be as funny as they used to be--or has Fiorella finally outgrown them? 

Your girl needs to get a hamper for her dirty clothes, but where can she find one? Are such things even in existence anymore? And while you're looking around at for the hamper, could you please get Fio a Prince Charming who would rebuild her clothes closet and be available at all times to do things like hang paintings, put shelves in her sewing closet, repair her bed, and drive her anywhere she needs/wants to go? 

Looking around her rooms, Fiorella decided it was time to take the designs she'd made with fallen oak leaves down from the windows and hall. The neighbors will probably give a communal sigh of relief.

So much of Fio's angst would be abrogated if she had a good book to read--and the same if she had someone to talk to. 

Finally got hold of the orthopedist's office and her appointment is in mid March which means that she gwill be hobbling for another month yet. Please think good thoughts in the direction of Fiorella's left knee.
