Our deacon visited a little after lunch today. She talked to mom and me and gave us home communion. It was really nice seeing her a little outside of church, and getting to visit too was even better. {Smile}
The secretary from our nursing company came by to pick up the check and ask how we're doing. I think we're mostly good. {Smile}
I had a nice long talk with our main nurse after dinner. I enjoyed it. He's not often in this chatty a mood. {Smile}
I got a phone call from Auntie Barbara after dinner. It was nice talking with her. {SMILE}
I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. First, I read scripture and thoughts about it. Next. I finished her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2019. After that I started showing Mom pictures in _Exploring Kittens_, a whole book of pictures of kittens exploring whatever the photographer put out for them. Next, I took out two books, but ended up just reading several more poems from _Mother Goose Treasury_. Mom seemed to like some of the poem today, so I think I chose well. She even sounded happy when I got to "Humpty Dumpty.: I ended my reading with the August 1st story, "The Wounded lamb," from _366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year_. Two sisters and a brother found a wounded lamb while playing hide and seek. They bandaged up the wound and nursed it back to health. {Smile}
I did my arm swinging exercises, arm resistance exercises, and standing arm weight training exercises after our deacon visited. I did my standing exercises and my walking exercises after dinner and the talk with our main nurse. I did 20 minutes of salsa dance only a little later than usual but didn't have any problem fitting it into the time. It's so nice to be able to do that, and not feel bad. {Smile}
I read articles in the morning, and comics and more articles over and after lunch, especially while waiting for our deacon. I didn't want to get into the game only to have to step away for a visitor who I knew would take a chuck of time. After she'd left, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, checked paperwork quickly, and found Kitten soon. We teamed up and got the rest of the badges from that complicated mission in two more runs. Then we discussed badges we each still have to get. We were just getting ready to run another mission I had that contributes slightly to a badge when I realized I had some pressing paperwork. I did it...and Kitten fell asleep before I was done. I waited for them, but they were fast sleep, so I ended up leaving to read to Mom. {Smile}
After dinner and the exercises that I did then, I spotted both Kitten and Perogies on a team - yes, the same one - and Ulty on another team. Kitten's and Perogies's team filled just before I could join, so I checked with Ulty. However, her team couldn't accept new members during the mission they were doing. A new spot cleared on Kitten's and Perogies's team, much to our relief. All three of us really wanted to team, and they were doing an arc I enjoy. Running that arc took most of the evening. Then we talked right up to and into my exercises. Perogies didn't leave until I was doing my second set of dancing. Kitten found a new group at the same time. I did miss chatting with Nox; we settled for saying good, with me responding particularly late at that. I did some paperwork, finished my sitting exercises, and watched videos until I realized I'd better make notes to finish writing this up the next day, which I did. {Smile}
