I expected the housekeeper to come today, but she did not. I have texted her asking if she's okay, and I'm waiting for a reply. I know she was delayed twice, but it's less common for her to not respond. {smile}
I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom on Saturday and read to her before dinner. I read scripture and thoughts about it first. Next, I read a Christmas card from a friend we met through Mom's sister. Then I read the first several few pages of _the Picture Book of Kids and Animals_. She does like seeing the kids, and having them interacting with animals is a plus, too. After that, I read three stories from _365 Bedtime Stories and Rhymes_. I finished our reading with “Rain,” the 27th of October's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. It's a poem about rain, especially how kids may like it, and how some animals don't like it, and others do. {Smile}
I did my walking exercises and my arm swinging exercises after I stopped playing City of Heroes: Homecoming. then I did my salsa dancing warmup set. Then after a break, I did my less structured salsa dancing set. Then after a shorter break, I did my head exercises, my arm resistance exercises, and my standing arm weight training exercises. I'm gratified with how much I was able to do after my salsa dancing. Maybe I'll get back to doing every exercise at least some nights, even if physical therapy is slow getting started again. {Smile}
I read articles, watched videos, and read comics and one of the web novels this morning. Over lunch I hopped into City of Heroes to start paperwork early. There, I met up with Pierogies and Kitten, and we started doing warshades to get mine one more level, which she needed to get the next story arc. Then Paradox joined us. We ran a couple of missions, and Pierogies dropped out to do the later long, large-group event. Kitten, Paradox, and I kept doing missions, and finished the story arc not long before it was time to read to Mom. That seemed convenient. {Smile}
After dinner, I started writing this, then hopped back on City of Heroes: Homecoming. Euclidean hopped back in too, and we teamed up on different characters. I have been playing the warshade and one other character enough to be a little tired of them, so I was happy to get a character I haven't played as much recently. We did a few to several missions, then Paradox let. I started doing paperwork and talking to Nox on the chat server. Then Kitten came in, and we did a mission, then a special Halloween mission. then I said goodnight to both Kitten and Nox and started my exercises. I wrote this and worked on paperwork in the game around the exercises and dancing. then Pierogies came into the game, and we had a nice talk. {Smile}
