<< Does anyone have any brilliant ideas on
how I can keep this energetic child happy while I recover? >>

Shaving cream in the bathtub, a bin full of rice for her to scoop and pour
with, mganets (just keep her away from the computer!!), movies, playdough,
fill a sink with water and give her a bunch of scooping and pouring gadgets,
make her own recipes (put out cheap ingredients like sugar/flour/water),
scissors and paper, fill a small plastic pool with popcorn, use the same pool
for a warm bathtime right in the kitchen....
If you have an air popper, put it in the middle of the pool without the lid
on and watch the popcorn fly EVERY where! Great fun but make sure you stand
back a bit as it's very hot when it comes out.

What will a magnet do to a computer? Just wondering, because a
month or so ago ds had our big magnet and was changing the colors on
his computer screen with it. Dh told him that it might not be a
good idea, and he hasn't done it since, but now I'm wondering what
he could have done to it. ;)

It can mess up your screen. But I think it can also mess up the innards. My
Grandma got some magnets near our computer once and I started having some
serious problems with it.
