Daily Update, July 1, 2024

    On Monday, the secretary from the nursing company came to visit. We talked at some length, preparing for the surgery consult the next day. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was awake when I went in today, thought it was late because of City of Heroes running late. She looked at what I showed her, especially the baby pictures. She does love baby pictures. She responded once near the end, too. First, I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. After that, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2022. Then I continued _Picture Book: Babies_, which has facts about babies along with pictures of them. Next, I read two stories from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished with the 1sth of July's story, "The Page Boy," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my arm resistance exercises after dinner. Then I tried salsa dancing and got through the first piece. I had me panting for a moment, so I stopped, but it got me almost three and one quarter minutes. later, I did my arm swinging exercises, and almost three full walking exercises before got so dizzy I had to steady myself against the wall. Then I stopped and tried eating something. I'm afraid it was too late to do more after that... but I got a tiny bit of salsa dancing in. {Smile}

   After breakfast, I played Cross Stitch World, and maybe read some articles, too. Then came the visit from the secretary. After she left, I had lunch. Them I wrote up Sunday's daily update and played more Cross Stitch World and read comics before going into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, Pierogies got me into the later long, large-group event, where he showed me a special role that I didn't realize folks did in it. Afterwards, Kitten joined us for a couple of villain missions. The last mission went too long, making me late to read to Mom. They eventually broke up so I could read and talked of trying again tomorrow or sometime. {Smile}

   After dinner, I started writing this. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I caught up on paperwork until Dr. Faustus said hi. We teamed up and ran his mission. Then he helped me finish a story arc before he left. After that I went around on the character by myself, getting more contacts started, and doing a few hunts. I said goodnight to Nox, having missed a chance to talk again. Then I stopped for salsa dancing. Next, I cleaned myself up before doing more exercise. I also played Cross Stitch World, read an article and some comics, and made notes in this. {Smile}
