Visiting clinic & off island

I have been going to the clinic every other day to get bandages changed and suspect that today will be the last visit for this week. It is a bit hard to type and not use some wounded fingers. On Friday the bandages got changed and the rest of the day was quiet except for a lunch visit to Herb's Tavern. Herb's serves great hamburgers and good beer, of course. This visit was followed by a long nap. Lovely.

Saturday dawned early with Arthur leaving to fly from Seattle to Los Angeles to see how his brother's cancer treatment is progressing. He will be gone about ten days and we are left in charge, which mainly means feeding his cat, Miss Duffy.

Arthur left on the early ferry, and we decided to take the next ferry to Anacortes and do some shopping at CostCo and computer places. The battery on this computer, which is not even a year old, died. Foxy, being Scottish, did not want to buy a new one, as they cost over $100. So on Friday she worked with computer techs by email most of the day testing the battery and trying to get them to replace it, as it was still under warranty. Not much success there. When we got off island, she called the computer people, and after an hour on the cell phone she finally convinced the tech that it was dead and got them to send us a new battery on the warranty. Yeah - Foxy!!!! She is persistent, especially when frustrated. We also got a cheap second computer as a necessary backup, which I am trying to get up and running. LOL, as I am technically challenged when it comes to such things,

Lunch and then back to the ferry, the early one which we missed as it was full. So after a two hour wait for the next one, we arrived back to Friday Harbor to find Max a bit cross eyed from needing to go, Miss Duffy in residence, and all was well. A long day but good results. Happy travels.
