Daily Update, May 17, 2023

 Today, I got some things in the mail that I wanted to talk to my financial adviser about. I called, and got the secretary, but she couldn't raise the adviser. She promised to give her a message to call me. {Smile}

I had dinner with Mom and read to her before that. I started with scripture and thoughts about it, then continued with a Mother's Day card from her sister that arrived just this morning, followed by the Mother's Day card I gave her Sunday. Next, I finished _1960's Fashion in Pictures_. I think she likes all the pictures of clothes. Then I read "Army Awards Three Hero Medals to Teens Posthumously," and "No More Plastic Bags at Kroger Checkout," both from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the May 17th story from _366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year_. Mom said she liked what I read to her today. {Smile}
I did over 20 minutes of salsa dancing and my walking exercises before it was too late. {Smile}
I wrote up yesterday's daily update after breakfast and read comics over lunch. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I saw Kitten and Perogies and got a response from Perogies first. We started chatting. I also got a response from kitten. The three of us teamed up, and I finished the particular set of badges I was working on, then switched characters to work on a badge both Kitten and I were working on. that involved doing a particular low-level story arc, which we finished just a little before it was time to read to Mom, so we broke there. {Smile}
After dinner, hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and didn't see anyone on, so I started working on some badges with one character. Darkthough1 came in, and we started chatting. We teamed up, and when I finished the particular set of badges I was working on, we got together, and started to do a story arc my character had. Perogies came on and joined us. Phonso came on, and invited us to a task force he'd joined, but it filled before we could join, so we continued the story arc. Perogies left just before the last mission, so I tried to get the attention of the four friends I saw who weren't on teams. Two responded, and one was willing to come help us. We did the last mission with the three of us. followed by two shorter one-off missions with particularly good rewards for our characters. that took me right up to time to exercise. I tried talking to Nox, but we barely had time for a short chat before thy left for bed. So I did some paperwork in the game around my dancing and walking exercises, and wrote this up after, with a little article reading I kind of wish I hadn't done, because then I could have finished this sooner. {Smile}
