Daily Update, May 27, 2024

    On Monday, I tried to fill out a form requesting some general information on retirement and such from my financial adviser. I filled out the form but didn't receive the information. I'll have to contact them about it if it doesn't show up soon. {smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was awake when I came in and enjoyed the pictures and readings. She did respond sometimes but got sleepy after a while.  First, I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. Then I read three cards: Christmas cards from a friend and our financial adviser, and a birthday card from her cousin. After that, I read the next few pages from _1940s Fashion in Pictures_. Next, I read "Father's Day Countdown," from _5-minute Disney Junior Stories_. I finished with the 27th of May's poem, "My Brother Says..." from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my arm resistance exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then I did my salsa dancing warmup late in the evening and my less structured salsa dancing set after a longer break than I intended. I tried to do my leg exercises next, but the knee of the leg I was holding off the ground started hurting, so I stopped. I did my arm swinging exercises and two of my head exercises before it got too late. {smile}

   After breakfast I played Cross Stitch World and read articles. Then I wrote up my daily update before and into lunch. When that was done, I switched to reading comics for the rest of lunch and afterwards. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started on paperwork. Then Pierogies said hi. We soon had a brief video call when i got interested in their "little cat." Then we got together in the game, teaming up for several mission of mine. We actually ran up to almost time to read to Mom. Then Pierogies left, and I did some paperwork that playing had created. 

   After dinner, I began writing this up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I chatted with Ulty a fair while, then took a break to clean myself up. Then I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found two very low-level characters who'd soon be in danger of losing their names if I didn't at least pop onto them for amount. So, I got one out, played a bit, and went back to the first one to play a bit more, and leave them in similar places. I also tried to chat with Nox for a bit, but hey were so tired, we mainly said goodnight. Then I switched to badge collecting on my newly fourth best badge collector. After a while, I stopped for some salsa dancing. In between sets, I watched videos and did more badge collecting on City of Heroes: Homecoming. Then I did more badge collecting afterwards. Then I wrote a little of this and made notes to write from the next day. The note making was interrupted by a couple of comics. {Smile}
