Daily Update, April 24, 2023

    Today I didn't do much out of the usual. I read articles that actually felt like they were worth the time it took to read them in the morning. I did have a short text-chat with our former nurse, which was nice. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. First, i read scripture and thoughts about it, and next I read more from her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. Then I read several entries from People of Pern by Robin Wood, since some were short. After that, I read "Billionaire Launches Drug Company Dedicated to Low-Cost Generics and Transparency," and "Jet blue Caps Flights at $99, Helps Citizens Escape Hurricane," both from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the April 24th story from 366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year. Mom enjoyed what read to her, and looking at the pictures, too. {Smile}

  I did all five head exercises. I'm supposed to do them, and my arm and walking exercises two days after physical therapy, but the others didn't happen. I need to get much better about these. {rueful smile}

   I finished yesterday's daily update in the morning. Then I read comics over lunch. After that, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I did a little paperwork waiting for someone to come on. Then Darkthough1 and Mistress Aegis did, and we teamed up for some mid-level missions a character of mine has out levelled, but still had the contact for. Dark and Aegis got the missions, and did them, and I tagged along for credit. My RWBY friend joined us partway in. Kitten came on but decided to sleep instead of joining us. My RWBY friend, Dark and I switched characters to do the long mission we'd gone up to yesterday. that took us right up to time to read to Mom. 

   After dinner, I read a few comics, and hopped back on City of Heroes. Then I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming and did some paperwork when I found no one on. Kitten came on, and then Darkthough1 joined us, and we teamed up for another moderately low-level story arc. Phonso invited us to a task force when we thought we were halfway through. We would have been if the last mission hadn't gotten stuck. We fixed it, but only after a few tries. Then we joined Phonso for the task force, which gave my second-best badge collector another badge. I chatted with Nox briefly before they went to bed, too. Then Phonso started a different task force which we joined. My RWBY friend came on and joined us to, and Kitten switched, and got a couple of badges, including one they needed for a badge which will improve their character. Then I helped Kitten get most of the rest of the badges for that special badge before going to bed. I forgot three, two which I remembered later, and one which Kitten had to track down themselves. {Smile}
