On Friday, late in the morning, I contacted Uber. A somewhat chatty fellow came and took me to Hilo Hearing Aid, also called Hearing Solutions Hawai'i. I arrived a little early, since I can't really plan to arrive on time with Uber; only early or late. I got my hearing aids checked out. He said the left one checked out fine, and suggested the chugging engine noise it made might have been due to moisture. He checked the right one, that's been taking longer to recharge, and it's fine, too. It's just set enough louder it's using more energy. We finished about the time I was supposed to start. I contacted Uber, and a less chatty driver took me home. {Smile}
I ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. She was resting when I went in. She was slow about opening her eyes, even for the baby pictures, so she must have been pretty tired. First, I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. After that, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2023. Next, I continued _The 40 Cutest Babies in the World_. reading a few pages. Mom was so sleepy, that she was slow even with these. I think I'll try them again when she's more awake. Then I read two poems from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished with the 21st of June's story, "Billy Know-All," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}I did my head exercises after teaming and some soloing today. My body thought that was enough exercises the day after starting two root canals, because I was tired right after that. Still, it's a start. {Smile}
After breakfast, I played Cross Stitch World and read articles and comics before going to get my hearing aids checked. When I came back, I wrote up Thursday's daily update before lunch with Mom. After lunch, I ducked into City of Heroes: Homecoming specifically to work on some paperwork best done on Friday. I think I also played a little Cross Stitch World and read some comics before cleaning myself up. After that, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I found Dennis. We chatted, then teamed up for some missions. A while after we started, Pierogies came in and started chatting. he joined us for some mission. The three of us teaming went up to time to read to Mom. {Smile}
After dinner, I started writing this up, and jumped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Ulty, who was casually roleplaying with friends as a way to wind down after running missions and such earlier. Her friends gradually left as they got tired enough, and one came in after me. I also chatted with Nox on the chat world. Then Dennis came on to say hi and see if I wanted to play after watching a movie. I said goodbye to Ulty and her friends, and Dennis and I teamed up and did a couple of missions which were tougher for us than I'd expect, especially after I lowered the difficulty on the first one. It wasn't as much lower as I expected. then Dennis left, and I soloed on a very low-level character, in part because she needed to be played to preserve her name, since Homecoming has started reclaiming the names of very low-level characters who haven't been played for a month, but they do warn you before that will happen. Then I got a similarly low-level character out to save her name, too, but decided against playing exactly the same stuff twice in one night. Instead, I soloed a slightly higher character until they were ready to go up, and prepared them for their next missions, including hunts. Then I okayed some Cross Stitch World and did the little exercise I got done before I made notes in this to write from the next day. {Smile}
