Daily Update, May 24, 2024

    On Friday, I got a short phone call from nursing company's secretary. It was nice to touch bases with her. {Smile}

   I called Auntie Barbara after dinner. She was still eating hers, and said she'd call me back, but it looks like bedtime came before she got around to calling. {smile}

   I ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner with Mom, and read to her before dinner. She was looking at the TV when I got there, but shifted her attention to me when I entered the room. She enjoyed the pictures and readings and did respond sometimes.  I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Next, I read four cards: a Christmas card from a friend, birthday cards from her cousin and both sisters. Then I read the next few pages from _Picture Book Babies_. After that, I read "One Unicorny Day," from _5-minute Disney Junior Stories_. I finished with the 24th of May's poem, "Making Jam," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my arm resistance exercises after dinner. Then I did my arm swinging exercises, and after a short break, my head exercises. Another short break, and I did my salsa dancing warmup set, with just a little extra when I messed up a little way into the third piece and restarted the piece. I did fine on the second try. I did my second salsa dancing set after a longer break than I intended. Altogether, I did around 20 minutes of salsa dancing, which is my goal for the day. {Smile}

   After breakfast, I read articles, played Cross Stitch World, and read comics. Then I finished Thursday's daily update before lunch. After lunch, I read some more comics and played more Cross Stitch World. Then I cleaned myself up. Next, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I said hi to Kitten, but they didn't respond, and I didn't see anyone else I particularly like to team with. So, I started doing paperwork with my newly fourth best badge collector. Then I switched to a low-level character and soloed a mission with a lot of reading. Next, I did some hunts with the same character, to get the easy to do alone stuff out of the way. Suddenly, Gargle invited me to a farm team, thinking he'd help the little one level. However, I really want to finish her stories and contacts first. When he realized I meant that, he let me change to my new incarnate, and even encouraged me to start setting him up. That took me to time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner and a little exercise, I started writing this up. I tried calling Auntie Barbara, the hopped into City of Heroes: homecoming while waiting for her to call me back. There, I said goodnight to Dennis, who was leaving early because of a big and early day the next day. Then Kitten said hi, and that they had to leave for a bit. They didn't say hi again later. While waiting for them, I did some more paperwork, and talked with Radio and Nox on the chat server. Then I started talking with Sheperd. We ended up teaming up and doing a couple of missions before he left. I also explained about a tutorial his character is almost ready for, but not quite. It was late enough, I started on paperwork and exercises with some Cross Stitch World, too. Afterwards, I read comics, did more paperwork, played more Cross Stitch World. I also wrote some of this, as well as made notes to write from the next day. {Smile}
