Daily Update, June 3, 2024

    On Monday. right after lunch, I contacted Uber, and a nice fellow came and took me down to my podiatrist appointment with a bit of chatting on the way. The appointment went well. He trimmed my nails and gave me medicine for a nail that has a fungus. I managed to leave the medicine when I left, so I had to walk back for it. I did, then contacted Uber, and a somewhat chatty gal came and took me home. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was pretty sleepy when I came in. She did crack her eyes open when I showed her pictures, but not long, and she didn't respond much. Some days are like that. First, I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about. After that, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2019. Then, I read the first few pages from _The Picture Book of Babies_ (the one with fewer costumes, since we have two books with that name). Next, I read six short poems, including "Hickory Dickory Dock" and five less well-known ones, continuing _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I normally would have continued with the story that followed, and maybe more, but she seemed tired enough, I just finished with the 3rd of June's story, "The Elves' Picnic," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my head exercises and eight of my twelve arm swinging exercises while waiting for Uber to come take me home from the doctor. Then I did my other four arm swinging exercises and my arm resistance exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. After teaming for the evening, I did my salsa dancing warmup. Then I cleaned myself up, and when I got out, I was too tired for more exercise. But I got some walking down at the Podiatrist's walking in and out a couple of time because they called me when I left some medicine behind. So, I did do more exercise than yesterday, at least. {Smile}

   During and after breakfast, I read articles. and comics. Then I wrote up Sunday's daily update before and into lunch. After I got home from the podiatrist, I read more comics, then hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming late. I talked with Pierogies, and we teamed up and did a mission. Dennis said hi, and we talked. he couldn't join us, though, because he'd started something that makes you finish it before doing anything else. Pierogies and I squeezed in one more mission before reading to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner I played Cross Stitch World, then hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I said hi to Kitten and Azurette. Then I spotted group doing stuff my fourth best badge hunter still could get a few badges from, so I quickly joined them. Then Kitten said hi and switched characters just as the group was starting. I apologized for having joined the group but did the stuff with them. I got done hoping to team to Kitten, but they'd gone unresponsive, and soon faded out. As I was beginning to wonder what to do, Azurette suddenly invited me to a taskforce that gets some badges useful in character improving badges. I ran it with her, getting the usual badges. I also chatted with Nox on the chat server. When the taskforce finished, Azurette and I chatted, then tried to get something else going. No one was interested, so Azurette left, since it was quite late. I played more Cross Stitch World, then did the salsa dancing. Then I cleaned myself up. After that, I played some more Cross Stitch World, and did some paperwork on City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I chatted briefly with Pierogies, and even joined him in a farm long enough to get a couple of nice things. I also wrote a little of this and made a lot of notes for the next day. {Smile}
