Daily Update, June 1, 2024

    I wrote a bit more of my story. I finished the second scene and added some near the climax of the story, too. I think I mainly have a third scene to write, but I need a better idea of what that will include. {Smile}

   I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. She was awake when i come in, and good about looking at the pictures I showed her. She responded and seemed interested. I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. After that, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2019. Next, I read the next few pages from _The Calming Cat Book_. Then I read "Minnie's Vacation Home" from _5-Minute Disney Junior Stories_. I finished with the 1st of June's story, "Brave Stephen!" from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my standing arm weight training exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then I did my arm resistance exercises and my arm swinging exercises after dinner. Then, after playing City of Heroes for the evening, I did my head exercises, my sitting arm weight training exercises, and my leg exercises with only shorter breaks. Then, after a longer break, I started doing my walking exercises. I did four, and then, after a short break, the other ten. Then I was too tired, and it was too late to think about doing more, but I think this is a good improvement from recent days. {Smile}

   After breakfast. I read articles and played Cross Stitch World. Then I wrote Friday's daily update. Next, I wrote a bit of my story. Then after lunch, I played more Cross Stitch World before I cleaned myself up. After that, I played City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Pierogies waiting for the later short, large group event to get going, and joined him. Then we joined the later long, large-group event. We visited while waiting for them to get going. I also tried to visit with the large groups, since I'm acquainted with some of the regulars. Afterwards, I did paperwork until it was time to read to Mom. 

   After dinner, I began writing this up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I said hi to Ulty. She was doing missions while role-playing with some friends, and invited me to come, too. We ran a few missions, ending with one my character had, which happened to be the last in a particular story arc. Then we went to her base, with some of the others switching characters for this part. I almost switched myself but didn't. I felt narratively it made more sense that she'd go to where they were winding down after the missions than that the character I wanted play would turn up when she'd never met any of them. I think that's why Ulty kept saying I wouldn't fit before. We had a long role-playing session. I said goodnight to Nox in the middle, having missed talking to them again. I talked with Kitten on and off, I think during breaks in their work. I talked with Dr. Faustus, too. I was tempted to join him but didn't want to leave the roleplaying. Later I offered to, but he said keep role-playing. I did until I suddenly disconnected. I tried to get back, but Ulty had left, and I couldn't remember the people left behind, or how to get into the base they were in. I left a note to Ulty asking her to apologize to her friends for me. I also soloed on a little one until I started my exercising. Between my exercises, I wrote bits of this, played Cross Stitch World, and read a comic. Then I did a little paperwork on City of Heroes: Homecoming and made notes in this to write from the next day. {Smile}
