Monday was a morning of phone calls. First, I called my doctor to order new medicine. The yeast infection isn't quite gone, and the bacterial infection is mostly stalled. Neither involves refills because when they're done, they're done. {smile}
Next, I call my dentist. I learned they'll be back Wednesday and left a message. After that, I called my podiatrist to learn that he'll be back Wednesday. too. So, I made notes on my calendar to call both my dentist and my podiatrist on Wednesday. {Smile}Then I got a call from the nursing company secretary confirming plans to go with me to surgical consultation the next day. Not long after, I got a call from the surgery center asking me to reschedule the consultation to next week Tuesday because the doctor will be in surgery when we're supposed to have our consultation. I hung up and checked calendar; since my phone will hang up if I try to leave during a call. The day was free, so I added that appointment. Next, I called the nursing company secretary to tell her about the schedule change including why it couldn't be the next day as originally planned. After that, I called the surgery center to confirm that I could make it next Tuesday, since I didn't know if I could until I checked my calendar. {Smile}
One conversation wasn't a phone call, but a notably slow but long text-conversation with a friend on the chat server. That was very nice indeed. {SMILE}
I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was awake this time when I went in. Her eyes were already open and looking around. She was quiet but responded a few times. I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Next, I read the next part of her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2023. Then I backed up to the pictures I showed her when she was sleepy and ended up reading the whole latter half of _The 40 Cutest Babies in the World_. Seh stayed with me right to the end. She does love baby pictures. I was right to save it for a day when she could enjoy it more. After that, I reread "That's Not My Brother!" from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. She seemed interested enough, i tried singing "This Old Man to her, too. She even joined in a couple of times, which really made my day. Part of me wanted to go on, but I don't want to tire her too much just because she's awake, so I ended with the 24th of June's story, "A Fairy Story," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}
I did both my arm swinging exercises and my head exercises between reading to Mom and eating dinner. Then I did my arm resistance exercises and my standing arm weight training exercises while winding down after City of Heroes: Homecoming. Slowly but surely, I'm getting my exercises back after the root canals got started. {Smile}
After breakfast, I played Cross Stitch World and read comics around the phone calls. then I wrote up Sunday's daily update over and after lunch. When it was done, I played Cross Stitch World and read comics and articles. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I checked some paperwork before I talked with Dennis, who told me Pierogies had just left for bed. We teamed up and ran a few missions on our low-level characters. Mine gained a mission I didn't expect, or want yet, but that's my fault for not turning off experience when I meant to. {smile}
After dinner I started writing this up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I checked, and still got missions from a contact I was afraid I'd out levelled. The Denis said hi, and we got together to team up on the same characters and start the contact I'd just discovered I hadn't out levelled. then we started the next contact with a hunt before he said goodnight. After he left, I checked other contacts... some might still work, and others pass me on to others. well, that's what the extra level did. Then I cleaned myself up. Afterwards, I came back to City of Heroes: Homecoming to play solo a bit, mainly on characters on another part of Homecoming than I normally play on. It's larger, so it might be better for socializing, especially later in the evening. Then I took a break to exercise, followed by writing more of this and making notes in it too. though I kept sneaking back to City of Heroes: Homecoming despite my best intentions to get done earlier. I did not manage to get done earlier. {rueful smile}
