Daily Update, May 9, 2024

    I was feeling much better on Thursday, but still being careful. I'm not reading to Mom or eating with her again yet. If she didn't catch anything from me before I was careful, she shouldn't now. {Smile}

   I got a phone call from Auntie Barbara on the house phone. She'd tried calling my cellphone, and I hadn't answered. That's probably because it wasn't in my pocket, and I didn't hear it. We had a nice talk about other things, too. {Smile}

   When I hung up, I went looking for my phone, and found it where I do medical tests. I guess it didn't get back into my pocket after testing my blood sugar that morning. I called Auntie Barbara back on it to tell her how quickly I found it. {Smile}

   I did my salsa dancing warmup after teaming and some paperwork on CoH. Then I took a moderate break, then did my two standing arm weight training exercises and four sitting arm weight training exercises with only a short break in the middle. Then, after a short break, I did my salsa dancing less structured set - yes, the full one, for almost 20 1/2 minutes of salsa dancing between the two sets. Then I did my head exercises right away. After that I felt tired, but after another break, I did my arm resistance exercises. I would have done my leg exercises, since I missed those yesterday, and did do the head and arm resistance exercises then, but I didn't have that much energy. {smile}

   After breakfast, I played Cross Stitch World. Then I wrote Wednesday's daily update before lunch. Over lunch, I read web fiction. After lunch, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Michiel on a villain. I grabbed a villain fairly close in level, and we teamed up for a couple of his missions. Then Michiel left, needing a break. I was settling down to paperwork when Pierogies said hi. We teamed up and did one of my missions on the same villain. Then Ulty invited me to join a light roleplaying mission team doing high level hero missions. (We talk like our characters while playing the game.) I swear that's my favorite type of roleplaying, so I asked if my friend could come, too. However, Pierogies noticed it was time to gather for the later long, large-group event, so he left to join them instead. I joined Ulty and friends, and we did a few individual missions in character. My character reached the level where the endgame begins, which is a notable step. Then Ulty left, and the team broke up around dinner time. {Smile}

   I was just starting on a particularly large amount of paperwork that suddenly comes up when characters reach the endgame when Pierogies said hi. I asked him to help me with the paperwork, since there was a bunch of stuff that was easier to hand to Pierogies and have him hand it back than transfer it between my characters directly. After that, Pierogies and I teamed up and ran a farm mission, to see if my character is a good farmer. We agreed he's good actively but not passively yet, but he shows potential. Then Pierogies left, being tired. Dennis said hi just as I was thinking about more paperwork. We teamed up and did a few missions, nicely testing my character. I also said goodnight to Nox; we missed talking again. Then Dennis left, and I did more paperwork that I let wait while we were teaming. After that I did my exercises, with Cross Stitch World, watching a video, City of Heroes: Homecoming paperwork, and starting to write this, and reading comics in between. Afterwards, I read one more chapter of the web novel, wrote a little more of this, and made a lot of notes to write from. {Smile}
