OMG. I love the new lap desk, but maybe a lap desk isn't the right choice when you have bad knees. It tends to make both of them go to sleep. And then there is the velcro factor. The boot on my right leg extends almost to my knee and sometimes I catch the bottom of the lap desk on the velcro. And the sound of velcro attracts Mouse the cat. She already thinks my boot is just another scratch post! As it was, yesterday, I just couldn't muster up enough interest to do any research. Too bad, since I had most of the day to myself, with Mouse the cat only spending half the day on my lap!
Tomorrow is another day.

Too-Too Thursday: Lapdesk change
I love my tablet. I really do. But for typing posts, it is laborious. Today, DH bought me a new lap desk that accommodates my larger laptop AND my mouse. Wow, I feel almost human. Also, I managed to graduate to a cane today. It's so much easier to get around. I even transcribed an obituary today. I miss my office though. A lot. I look forward each day for the possibility of the foot feeling well enough to be in a normal unelevated position!

Wedding Wednesday - Zimmeth & Schmalz
Joseph Zimmeth, who was my great-grandfather's brother, married Magdalena Schmalz on February 26, 1878 in Mankato, Minnesota. Joseph was born in 1834 in Roeschwoog, Alsace, France. Magdalena was born in 1859 in New York.
Joseph is listed in deeds in Michigan in the 1860s and 1870s. How he ended up in Minnesota, I do not know. He died one week after their 20th wedding anniversary.
