Daily Update, June 22, 2024

    On Saturday, I pretty much stayed home and took it easy. but one exciting thing happened: Pierogies said his son set up the chat server on his computer. We've started a conversation there, and another with him, Kitten, and me, and yet another with him, Dennis and me. We have used them already, enjoying sharing GIF-pictures and chatting. {SMILE}

   I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. She was resting when I went in again. She was not quite as slow about opening her eyes, especially for the baby pictures, so she wasn't quite as tired as yesterday, but she was still tired. First, I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I reread the part I read Friday of her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2023. Then I reread the part I'd read yesterday of _The 40 Cutest Babies in the World_ and went just a little further this time. Then I read the two poems I read Friday from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_, skipped the next story, and sang "This Old Man" for her. I ended with the 22nd of June's story, "The Swallows," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my head exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. I wasn't as tired as yesterday, but I didn't feel like doing more just then. After playing on City of Heroes: Homecoming I did my arm resistance exercises, too. I was too tired for more, but that's better than yesterday. {Smile}

   After breakfast, I played Cross Stitch World and read articles. Then I wrote up Friday's daily update before and during lunch. After lunch, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming specifically to check some paperwork. Then I cleaned myself up. next, I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Pierogies, and chatted, learning that he'd joined the chat server, Discord, with his son's help. Then Dennis came on, and we teamed up with him to run missions. Kitten joined us a little later. I told Dennis and Kitten about Pierogies being on the chat server, because they're both active there. We played until I left to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I began writing this up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Dennis just breaking a team with Kitten because they'd apparently fallen asleep. We teamed up on a villain of his and a character of mine who was visiting the villains' area and ran a few missions. Then he left for bed, and I started chatting with Ulty. She was roleplaying with several friends. I joined them and we chatted both In Character and Out Of Character. The friends left as they got tired. I also said goodnight to Nox on the chat server. When Ulty and her last friend left, I got a low-level character and played stuff to get her a level. That was harder than I expected. Then I remembered she had easier stuff, and I got her another level with that. She's still low-level, but higher than she was, enough higher for some distinct advantages to kick in. After that, I exercised. Then I wrote a little of this and made notes in this to write from the next day. {Smile}
