Daily Update, February 27, 2024

    On Tuesday, I began to edit a holiday story from a few years ago. I made good progress with it, but it needs more work. {Smile}

   In the afternoon, I called Uber. They came and took me to the endodontist, who numbed me up and finished the root canal. Then I took Uber home. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was awake and looking around when I started. She looked at every picture I pointed out, and even responded. First, I began with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I read and showed the pictures of an easter card from a cousin, a birthday card from a friend, and a birthday card from church. After that, I continued _Mele Kalikimaka: Christmas in Hawai'i_, Then I read the next story in _Five-Minute Stories: Over 50 Tales and Fables_, "How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin." I ended with the 27th of February's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "The Restless Star."  {Smile}

   I did my arm resistance exercises, my standing arm weight training exercises, and two of my head exercises while waiting for Uber to come take me to my endodontist appointment. I took it easy the rest of the day. I just had a root canal completed, so I think I can have one day light on the exercise. {Smile}

   In the morning, I read part of an article and played Cross Stitch World. Then I revised the story over and after lunch. Next, I cleaned myself up, did a few exercises, and started revising Monday's daily update before heading out to the endodontist. When I got back, I finished revising Monday's daily update before hopping into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I found Pierogis, and we started chatting. He invited me into a farm to show me how a new character was shaping up. We chatted more, then ran an individual mission before I broke to read to Mom. Between reading to Mom and dinner, and right after dinner, I wrote a bit of this daily update, and made notes to write from later, as well. {Smile}

   Then after dinner I hopped into City of heroes: Homecoming. Then i shifted to playing some Cross Stitch World. Next, I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and said hi to Pierogis. He left shortly after, so I started on paperwork. Then I said hi to Dr. Faustus. He was helping a friend, so I joined them. We did a few missions before Dr. Faustus realized that I had been a few missions behind them. He had us back up and do mine, though we were now several ahead -- just over a story arc. Kitten joined us partway through. I tried to talk Nox and Nik (Radio) too, but we kept getting distracted until we said goodnight. I'd almost caught up to Dr. Faustus's friend when they had to leave. We finished catching up. Then Dr. Faustus switched to a character who wasn't done with the next story arc himself. We ran that story arc too, then said goodnight because it was really late. I tried to talk to Kitten on the chat server, but they didn't respond. I did finish making notes for this, despite the email program erasing my text and making me restart a couple time before I started saving frequently. Once I started saving frequently, it stopped erasing stuff. {Smile}
