After breakfast, I called my doctor's office, and left a message about wanting to get the blood test at the lab in their building instead of the one I'd asked for yesterday. I didn't hear back from them about either message. {smile}
A short while later, I contacted Uber, and they took me down to the building my doctor is in. I tried the Clinical Labs in my doctor's building. I offered to walk up if needed. Instead, they had me wait, and eventually called. They told me to go to Diagnostic Labs in the same building. Again, i offered to walk up to my doctor's if needed. They handled that part themselves, and eventually called me in for the test. They mentioned it had been called in to the place I asked for yesterday. I guess int he future, try to go where I ask, and ask for where I really want to go in the first place. {rueful smile}I contacted Uber afterwards, walked to where they wanted to pick me up. The driver still went somewhere else, then asked where I was. I told her, and she came and got me. and took me home. {Smile}
I ate lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. She was awake when I came in. She looked at the pictures I showed her and responded sometimes. First, I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about. After that, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2019. Then I read the last few pages from _The Picture Book of Babies_ . Next, I read 6 short poems and four long poems, continuing _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I actually sang "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider," with the gestures that Mom taught me, and I was happily surprised when Mom sang a couple lines with me. I finished with the 6th of June's story, "The Two Friends," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. It surprised me with one of the characters getting eaten by a shark. Mom has trouble processing death, so i tried to emphasize the other main character getting away safely. After reading, I showed Mom the picture book I plan to start tomorrow: _10940's Memory Lane_. {Smile}
I did my head exercises while waiting for Uber to take me home from the blood test. Then, after teaming for the evening, I did my salsa dancing warmup. I did one more salsa dancing piece later, followed by my arm swinging exercises. {Smile}
After breakfast, I played Cross Stitch World and read articles before my trip to get the blood tests. I read web-fiction in waiting room and after lunch with Mom. Then I cleaned myself up. Next, I finished Wednesday's daily update. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and worked on paperwork for a while, before saying hi to Dennis and Pierogies. Dennis responded, and we got together. We worked on a mission I had. Pierogies said hi not long after we finished. He joined us, and we did a patrol and a hunt before it was time to read to Mom. I'm glad they encourage me to read to her. {Smile}
After dinner, I started writing this up, and made a few notes in it, too. Then I read some comics before hopping into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started on some paperwork and said hi to Azurette, who invited me to a task force which I joined on a character I found who could do it but hadn't yet. I also began talking with Nox on chat server. Then Azurette and I did a story arc, though she complained- correctly - about my distraction. Yes, I was distracted enough to hurt my play most of the evening, and I'm not completely sure why. Snacks and chatting only explains so much. {rueful smile} We still got the story arc done, even when I missed a couple of missions, so we did them again. We chatted before saying goodnight. Then I did my salsa dancing, with part of a video and Cross Stitch World in between the warmup and a partial set. I played more Cross Stitch World and read some comics afterwards. Then I made notes in this to finish it from the next day. {Smile}
