Oh, dear. What can the matter be?

I'm fine, the computer is fixed and now it's my blankey, blank internet card that has died. Gads. And since I can't drive for six months (see earlier post about being put on a medication), I have to wait for my backup who flies back into town on Friday.
I have my trusty iPhone so I'm in touch with the world, but the lovely costume patterns and other goodies will be delayed...again.
Please bear with me. I mean, really, after this I have run out of things to go wrong short of lava flows and sun spots.
