Well, Val didn't throw up again, but I thought I'd better call the vet anyway. I did so late in the morning. They wanted to see him after lunch I'd been hoping to avoid another trip, especially since it might be eating too much too quickly or something, but they wanted to see him, so I called Alan. He needed to pick us up earlier because he had a ride scheduled at one already. So, he picked us up and took us down after an early lunch. I enjoyed our talk on the way down. {smile}
They saw him, and gave him a shot for the nausea, and dropped his new medicine about twice as much as I expected, so I guess I'm glad I took him in. Then I called Alan, and he took us home. I enjoyed our talk on the way back, too. {Smile}
I ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner with Mom today and I read to her before dinner, too. I started with scripture and thoughts about it. Since I'm still catching up, I started with Monday, September 25th's entry, then read today, Friday the 29th's entry. Next, I read a Christmas card from her cousin's granddaughter, and a Mother's Day card from her sister. Then, I skipped the picture books again, and read a story from _365 Bedtime Stories and Rhymes_. Last, I ended with two stories from _366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year_. The first was _Cheeky Charlie_, the September 25th story. Charlie Shrew was watching a centipede, and asked if with all those feet, they tread on each other often. Offended, the centipede insisted they didn't. They always knew where they were. Then the centipede asked Charlie if, with that long tail, folks tread on it often, and started walking towards Cahrlie's tail. Charlie ran off and never teased the centipede again. The second story was the September 29th story, _Bobby Robin_. Bobby asked his father why the feathers on Bobby's chest were all brown, not red like his father's. His father said it was because he was young, and to wait; they'd change in time. Bobby didn't want to wait, and he knew there was a tine of red paint in a toolshed. So, he went there and daubed it on his chest until he had two layers of paint. But his parents got mad when he got home, especially his mother, who insisted he wash it right off. Fortunately, it was water paint, and came off in the stream. {Smile}
I did my walking exercises, my arm swinging exercises, and my arm resistance exercises after the solo mission with Kitten. Then I tried my salsa dancing and had to stop after the first piece. I was almost tempted to go on, but I got more tired than I expected as I rested. I think I was still less tired than yesterday, though, which is a relief. I'm still getting better. I did my leg exercises, head exercises, standing arm weight training exercises, and sitting arm weight training exercises. So, I did as much as yesterday, just no more. {Smile}
I read articles in the morning before the call to the vet. I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming after returning from the vet. There, I found Perogies and Kitten on that set of characters we've been interested in recently. I think I'll just tell you they're called warshades, because I'm having trouble figuring out how to describe them so readers will know I mean them again. They're one of four special class types with special storylines open only to them. We ran the last mission or more we could get until gaining a few levels. Then we picked a story arc we all like to run again to gain level. We ran the first mission, then chatted because it was just too close to time to read to Mom to run another one. {Smile}
After dinner, I came back, and left texts to let them both know I was there. I honestly expected Perogies to have gone to bed, but no, he came on, and we waited for Kitten to join us. We ran two more missions in the surprisingly short arc. Then we ran the next arc, which was a little longer, but not much. I said goodnight to Nox on the chat server after they'd left for bed, having missed their earlier message, which somehow didn't show up as a number by the chat server's icon like it usually does. Then Perogies went to bed. Kitten and I ran an individual mission. Then, Kitten street-swept while I started my exercises. After the brief salsa dancing, we ran another individual mission before Kitten got first me then themselves up to our target level with yet more street-sweeping. I finished my exercises, caught up on reading comics, and wrote this up, switching to notes when it got late, to finish and share the next day. {Smile}
