Daily Update, May 11, 2023

Today I stayed home, and had my video counselling meeting on HMSA's network, since my insurance provider, and apparently cover it completely if it's on their system. The meeting went well, and in two weeks, it's enough earlier that I should make my doctor's appointment in time not long after. {Smile}
The housekeeper came, which was nice. i loved getting to see her, and the house is better for her attentions. {Smile}
I had lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. First, I read scripture and thoughts about it, then I finished her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. After that, I read more from _1940's Fashion in pictures_. Mom seemed to enjoy looking at clothing though I had to hold it far over, because she was even more interested in looking at me. Next, I read "Disney heir Says Give Exec Bonuses to Lowest-Paid Staff," from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the May 11th story from _366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year_. Mom enjoyed both pictures and stories. {Smile}
I did my head exercises, which are the exercise I'm supposed to do the day after physical therapy. I'm supposed to be tired for the rest still, and I am. {Smile}
I read comics between counselling and lunch, and also after lunch. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and found I was in time to join the early long, large-group event, so I did so. Then my RWBY friend came on, and we started chatting. They joined the event, and we started chatting. My higher speakers died during the raid, though I didn't realize exactly what had happened until after the event. I teamed up with my RWBY friend and paused to check the speakers. Trying to take it out and plug it in again got the bass speaker to stop working too, so I decided to leave it. However, I couldn't get used to playing without sound, so I fitfully got out a new set of speakers I bought a fair while ago, when the speakers looked like they were going bad, but then recovered enough I never bothered to replace them. It was much easier to concentrate on the game after the speakers were set up, especially when I got them out of Valentine's way, since at first I didnt' tuck them out of his way. My RWBY friend and I finished the story arc we've been working on with my second-best badge collector and the character he picked. We actually finished it a bit before time to read to Mom, so I was able to get some paperwork done, too... and I got a badge for completing a certain number of "flash back" arcs that I didn't realize I'd get. {Smile}
After dinner, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, did a little paperwork, and found a task force I thought my second bast badge collector needed for a couple of badges. However, it didn't help as much as I hoped. Also, Phonso came on, and invited we chatted. He saw I was in a full team, and I explained about the task force, so I couldn't join the trial he was starting, but I said I was interested in the next trial. My task force got done, and some went on to another task force, but I quit so I'd be ready to join Phonso when he was done. We got together an one joined us. then a team of five came, and we merged, since a full team is 8, and did the trial together. Phonso decided to stop after that, but my RWBY friend came on. He wasn't feeling up to playing, so we just chatted and visited until he was ready to go back to bed. Then I did a bit more paperwork. I thought to say hi to Nox ont eh chat server, and we talked briefly before they went to bed. After that, I spotted a story arc that I decided to join and followed it with a little more paperwork again. Then I started working on this, but kept getting sidetracked by articles, so I barely finished, and will have to finish posting tomorrow. {Smile}
