Daily Update, June 13, 2024

    On Thursday, I had counselling after breakfast. I don't usually say what we discussed, but this time it was mainly recently health developments. I'm particularly concerns about a hernia failing again. the one I have a consultation with a surgical group about. {smile}

   I ate lunch dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. Mom was awake and sitting up. I think she was good about looking at the pictures. I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. After that, I read a longish Christmas card from a friend. Then I continued _Memories 1970's_. Next, I read a story and a long poem from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished with the 13th of June's story, "Floppit's Picnic," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my salsa dancing warmup set after teaming with Pierogies in the evening. Then after a break, I did my head exercises. However, when I started the second set, I got so dizzy, I had to stop around 2 1/2 minutes into the first piece. It just wasn't safe to continue. So only around 11 minutes of salsa dancing. I did manage my arm resistance exercises and my arm swinging exercises before it got too late, at least. So, it was a bad day for exercises, but it could have been worse. {smile}

   After counselling, I played Cross Stitch World, and started writing Friday's daily update. then I paused for lunch with Mom. After lunch, I finished writing Friday's daily update. Then I read comics and played more Cross Stitch World while thinking about my hernia despite not wanting to think about it. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I teamed up with Pierogies and Kitten. We did a fairly high-level character of mine's missions, starting an important story arc that really helps with a stat-improving badge. Dennis joined us, and the four of us kept going until it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I started writing this up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I chatted with Ulty. She was doing private role-playing, so I wished her luck, and suggested a message from my characters that the character she was playing knows. She liked that. Then I worked on paperwork. Next, I stopped to clean myself up. Then I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I was happily surprised to find Pierogies. We chatted a while and teamed up. We did two or three of his missions. Then we broke so I could exercise after a little paperwork. Between sets, I watched a video, and after the exercises, I played Cross Stitch World. Then I wrote more of this and made notes to finish it up from the next day. {Smile}
