Daily Update, May 4, 2024

    On Saturday, I slowly worked on my story a little more. I got another character introduced kind of around lunch time. Two to go, and then we'll see what's next. {Smile}

   I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I got there right after my bath again, but at least I was pretty much on time this time. Mom was resting but opened her eyes and started responding more easily than the day before. She seemed to enjoy the pictures. I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I read a Christmas card from her nephew, an Easter card from her cousin, a birthday card from one of her sisters, and a Thanksgiving card from her other sister. Next, I read the next few pages from _1960's Memory Lane_. After that, I read "The Ugly Duckling," from _Five Minute Fairy Tales_ finishing that book. I ended with the 4th of May's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "The Golden Spider." {Smile}

   I did my two arm-resistance exercises and started my two standing arm weight training exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. I finished the last standing arm weight training exercise after dinner. Next, after teaming for the evening, I did my salsa dancing warmup set. Then, after a break, I did my less structured salsa dancing. After another break, I did my seven leg exercises, then two of my four arm weight training exercises and eight of my fourteen walking exercises before it got too late. 

   After breakfast, I played Cross Stitch World. Then I finished writing Friday's daily update. Over lunch, I wrote a little more of my story. Then after lunch, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. there, I found Div, and we teamed up, doing a few of their missions. Pierogies joined us, despite not feeling good. We continued to do missions. Then Div left. I tried to find out if Pierogies felt up to more, and accidentally picked up a timed mission. Pierogies helped me finish that mission, then left. I did a little paperwork, then paused to clean myself up. That took me to time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner and a little more exercise, I began writing this up, then hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I didn't find anyone on, so I tried soloing, but had trouble. So, I did some paperwork. Then Dr. Faustus came on late. We tried to help a friend of his, but they disappeared before we could. I talked with Nox a little on the chat server. Dr. Faustus kept getting pulled away by work. He got us into hunting a couple of giant monsters, so I got a couple of badges from that, while he could go in and out as work needed. He did slip in helping me finish the last mission in a story arc. then I did more paperwork and played a little Cross Stitch World. I also did my exercises, and a bit of research. Then I wrote a little of this, did a little paperwork, and made notes to finish writing this the next day. {Smile}
