Just after breakfast, my ride to the monthly meeting arrived, with another passenger who likes to talk already in the back seat. We had a nice talk on the way down. {Smile}
It was a nice meeting. First, we talked in the meeting room. Then we adjourned to the lunchroom, where we talked less formally while we ate lunch. Then we played most of a game of Yahtzee before we finished.On the ride back, the gal I'd ridden down with and a fellow were in the car too. The driver let the guy off first. then, with the other gal's okay, the driver stopped by Safeway so I could pick up a prescription and some probiotics. Then they took me home. {Smile}
At home, I called my financial adviser, and left a message with someone on the staff. {Smile}
I called my doctor, too, but had to leave a message on the answering machine. {Smile}
I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. I had to wait until the nurse cleaned Mom up before I went in. So, she was definitely awake and sitting up when I went in. Mom was okay at looking at the pictures, and paid attention to the baby pictures. First, I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. After that, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2023. Next, I said i was giving her a new book for no particular occasion. She doesn't really understand holidays anymore. Then I gave her _Calm Babies Picture Book_ and started reading it. Sure enough, she likes these babies, too. Then I read seven short poems from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I stopped there because the next story was longer, and because her attention was beginning to wane with no babies to look at. I finished with the 18th of June's story, "The Starfish," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}
I did my arm resistance exercises and my arm swinging exercises before dinner, when the nurse said to wait a bit while he took care of Mom. Then I did my head exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. I did my salsa dancing warmup after playing City of heroes in the evening. Then I cleaned myself up When I tried more later, I stumbled barely over two minutes into the first piece. I stopped, and it was too late to start again later, so i only got a little over 10 1/2 minutes of salsa dancing. {smile}
After I got back from the meeting, I read comics and played Cross Stitch World. then I wrote up Monday's daily update before hopping into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I teamed up with Dennis and Kitten. We did two of Dennis's missions, and one of mine before it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}
After dinner, I played CSW and started writing the day's daily update. Next, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I teamed with a friend who has many characters and chatted with her. I chatted with Ulty too, and said goodnight to the friend, and to Ulty, since they were both leaving at about the same time. I also chatted with Nox on the chat world as I started soloing hunts in City of Heroes. Then I got invited to a "speed trial," where they try to get through it quickly. The leader turned out to be a Mollymauk76, a streamer who shares the trials and taskforces he leads on Homecoming over X, which used to be Twitter. His next trial was full, and I really needed to exercise anyway, so I did a little paperwork, then started salsa dancing. Next, I cleaned me up. I tried salsa dancing again but stopped when I stumbled. Instead, I read an article or two before making notes to write from the next day. {Smile}
