After breakfast, I contacted Uber, and a fellow who lives around here came and got me, as he often does, especially on Sunday. Church was nice. I even arrived during the announcements before the service proper, despite calling Uber later than I like to. We had lunch on the lanai in back of the church, as usual. I did enjoy the conversations. {Smile}
Auntie Barbara took me home and came in to visit with Mom. We sang over ten songs, including three verses of This Old man at the end, and sure enough, Mom sang right along with us, and Auntie Barbara was the one who stopped there, not Mom. I think adding a song to our regulars is huge this late in dementia. I'd discovered she still knew it because a couple of the books I read to her includes it, and I usually sing it, not just say it. She tends to join in. {SMILE}I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before that. I was a little late because of the game, but she was up when I went in again today and looked on with interest the whole time, even when I didn't have pictures. She looked at all the pictures I showed her, too, especially the ones of babies. She usually said she liked it when I asked. First, I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2022. Then I finished _The Picture Book of Babies_. Mom looked steadily at each baby today again. After that, I read two stories from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished off with the 7th of July's poem, "Breakfast Time!" from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}
I did my head exercises while waiting for Uber to come pick me up. then I did my arm swinging exercises after dinner. I did my arm resistance exercises and my arm weight training exercises - both sitting and standing - with only a fairly short break after my bath. I don't think I'm ready to do more, and it's getting late anyway. {Smile}
After Auntie Barbara left, I ordered another binder/corset. then I played Cross stitch World and read a web novel. Eventually I got around to writing up Saturday's daily update. After that, I hopped into city of Heroes: Homecoming. I chatted with Ulty, Pierogies and Michiel, and Dennis. I eventually teamed up with Michiel and helped him with a mission. Pierogies joined us. We rushed the end because it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}
After dinner, I played Cross Stitch World, read web comics, and exercised. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I teamed up with Dennis and Kitten. We did a mission of Dennis's. Then we fought a giant monster. Pierogies and someone else tried to join us, but I didn't realize I was leading the team, so I didn't invite them until afterwards. They didn't get credit for getting the giant monster, though we really looked for another. The person I don't know ended up leaving for bed. Then the four of us did one mission of mine before Dennis and Pierogies left for bed. I also talked with Nox on the chat world. When Dennis and Pierogies left, I switched to a new story arc, and Kitten and I did three of the four missions. Then I talked with Kitten before I cleaned myself up. After that I exercised. Then I cancelled the binder/corset order I made this afternoon, and ordered the one the surgeon recommended in hopes it would be more comfortable for longtime wear. Afterwards, I wrote a little more of this and made notes in it for the next day. {Smile}
