Daily Update, April 21, 2023

    Today I went over to Hale Anuenue to visit the friend of the family, who's still there, recuperating. I checked on Anita, but despite them giving me a room number, our family friend said she left yesterday, and her mattress had no bedding on it when I passed by her room. I sat with our family friend and chatted for a good bit and handed her a picture book for seniors with some memory loss. She wants to borrow it, but says she'll give it back. 

   I asked our family friend how her daughter is doing, since I know she's in the same nursing home. Our family friend asked if I was going to see her. I found out her room number, and went to visit her for a short while, because our family friend said she doesn't like long visits except from one sister she really gets along with. {Smile}

   After that, I called Uber to go home. however, I realized when the driver turned the wrong way that I'd somehow ordered it for the vet's office, not home. Fortunately, the driver helped me fix it, and took me home. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. I read scripture and thoughts about it first, and some old Christmas cards, including one from a friend, another from her nephew, and a third from her niece. I followed that with more entries from People of Pern by Robin Wood. Then I read "Kids Finally Get a Permit for a Lemonade Stand, Then Sell Out," and "Finland Offers New Dads as Much Paid Leave as Moms," both from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the April 21st story from 366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year. Mom liked everything I read to her, and enjoyed the pictures I showed her, too. {Smile}

   Over and after lunch, I read comics. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I found my RWBY friend on. We hopped back out to read Cursed Princess Club together. It was good to get back to that. Then we hopped back into the game. We found Darkthough1, and teamed up for one mission, the first in a story arc, which was all I had time for before reading to Mom.

   I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming after dinner. Both Darkthough1 and my RWBY friend were still there, so the three of us teamed up to finish that story arc. Then my RWBY friend left for bed, and Darkthough1, Mistress Aegis and I teamed up on a set of "little villains that we have. We did several missions together, going really late for Darkthough1 and Mistress Aegis. I also slipped in a short chat and goodnight with Nox on the chat server. After Mistress Aegis and Darkthough1 left, I read a few longer comics, and got this ready to finish up the next morning. {Smile}
