Daily Update, January 17, 2024

   On Wednesday, after breakfast, I contacted Uber, and they came and took me to HFS Federal Credit Union. I found a clerk who directed me to a desk. The fellow there told me they'd arrange for someone to help me. I checked the rates, looked around, and noticed the front desk was finally empty, so I went to deposit a check and some money I had. Then I checked with the first desk about changing a payment, but he said they'd deal with it after my appointment, which was soon. it actually was soon. I got my safe deposit box closed, and Mom's box closed and opened under my name. In the process, we got the automatic payment moved to where I want it. Then I called Uber, and a different diver took me home. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was resting when i went in, but woke up quickly when I started talking, and looked at all the pictures with few reminders. We started with scripture and thoughts about it first. After that, I started her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2022. Then I finished "Memories Space Race." Next, I read the next story in _5 Minute Disney Junior Stories_. I ended with the 17th of January's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "The Little Rabbit." Peter's father gave him a pet rabbit for doing well in school. Peter named him Twitchet, and told him he'd hop around wherever he wanted, and sleep on his bed at night. Peter's mother looked worried, and pointed out that rabbits aren't clean, and chew things. peter begged her to give Twitchet a chance, so they did. The next morning, they found Twitchet had left Peter's bedroom. he'd chewed on an electric light flew and on Peter's book, too. After that, Twitchet lived in a comfortable hutch, and only came out on special occasions. {Smile}

   I did my head exercises and walked around the driveway once while I waited for Uber to come take me to the credit union. Then I did my arm resistance exercises a little while after dinner. I tried to do more later, but I was just too tired. {Smile}

   I read articles in the morning, before going to HFS Federal Credit Union. Then I finished yesterday's daily update after lunch. Next, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming to catch the early short, large-group event before cleaning myself up. Next, I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I tried to join the later short, large-group event over an hour early by accident. I looked around and found a pop-up raid to join. When it was done, I headed to another pop-up raid that was in progress. Then it was just time to join the later short, large-group event, so I did. They were full at first, but I tagged along for what I could do. After that, I did some paperwork until it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I went to the late-night short, large-group event. It was late, and the group was full, but they added me when a spot opened up. At this point, I'd gotten most of an item I wanted. I started writing this, then found a group running a special story arc. I joined them, running that story arc and the next in the series. Partway through the second, Phonso invited me to a taskforce. I explained I could when this story arc was done. I left them when it was done. Phonso was busy, so I fixed up the character I'd been playing all day, since she'd finally gotten the last two of the items that she really wanted in the story arcs. Then I joined Phonso, and we ran the taskforce. I also chatted with Nox on the chat server a bit. Then I read comics, catching up, and made notes on this to write from the next day. {Smile}
