On Friday, I tried to write more of my story. I got a little more done, but not as much as I hoped. I think I need to work out the scene before I write it this time. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, but this time I seem to need to. {smile}
I got a lovely call from Auntie Barbara in the evening. It was wonderful getting to chat and catch up with each other. {SMILE}I ate lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. Mom was resting when I got there. She roused when I said hello, and mostly looked at the pictures I showed her while reading. I started with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I started her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2022. After that I finished _Cats Galore: A Compendium of Cultured Cats_. Then I picked out Memories 1950's, showed her the front cover, and read her the back cover. I promised to start actually reading it to her tomorrow. Next, I continued _Disney Princess 5-minute Princess Stories_ with "The Beauty of Mistakes," which was about Princess Rapunzel. Lastly, I ended with the 5th of April's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "A Ladybird's Job." {Smile}
I did my head exercises, my arm resistance exercises, and my arm swinging exercises after teaming for the evening. Then I did my salsa dancing warmup set. After a rest, I did my less structured salsa dancing set. It was around 21 minutes; due to backing up in one piece, I'm not exactly sure how much. I finished with my standing arm weight training exercises, and two of my four sitting arm weight training exercises. That is the most I've done yet since completing the root canal, though only by one weight training exercise. {Smile}
After breakfast, I read a few articles and comics, played CSW, as well as what I could write of my story. After lunch, I tried more writing and Cross Stitch World, then cleaned myself up. only then did I hop into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with a bit of paperwork and tried talking to friends. I did chat with Ulty, but she was busy, So I joined the later long, large-group event, and did a little more paperwork before reading to Mom. {Smile}
After dinner, I started writing this up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There I did some paperwork and looked around for folks to talk to. I found a new friend in an open role-play with one other person, but I had trouble getting into it. I realized that character isn't well-developed yet. I really should get characters who are reasonably fleshed out first. Then Dr. Faustus said hello, and we started to talk. The others left for bed, and I went to join Dr. Faustus in a taskforce. I also chatted with Nox. We actually had a fair conversation before they went to bed. The taskforce was the longest in the game, but we finished just slightly later than I hoped, though I was overly optimistic. We actually finished in good time for the longest taskforce in the game. Then I did my exercises and read more comics. I wrote a little more of this and made notes to write from the next day. I also fit a Cross Stitch World break in there, too. {Smile}
