Daily Update, July 12, 2024

    Friday was pretty quiet. {Smile}

   I ate lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I wasn't late. She was sitting up when I went in. She rested, but looked at most of the pictures, especially the baby pictures. First, I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. After that, I read a card from each of her sisters, and one from me. Next, I started _The Picture Book of Kids and Animals_. Then I read The Tortoise and the Hare and two poems from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I ended with the 12th of July's story, "The Legend of the Dragonfly," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my arm resistance exercises, my leg exercises, and 8 of my 14 walking exercises part-way through the evening. Then I did my warmup salsa dancing, and then after a longer rest than I meant, another salsa dancing piece, for 14 3/4ths minutes of salsa dancing. Then I did my arm swinging exercises. After a break, I slipped in my head exercises, even though it was far too late, but I hope that's a good evening's exercise when I'm still recovering from the root canals. {Smile}

   After breakfast, I played Cross Stitch World and read articles Then I wrote up Thursday's daily update. After lunch, I played more Cross Stitch World and read comics. Then I cleaned myself up. Next, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I teamed up with Pierogies for two or three missions, which took us up to time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I found Pierogies just finishing a mission and ready to wind down. So, we watched a video together. After that, I did some paperwork, some exercise, and started writing this up. Next, I did a little hunting by myself back in City of Heroes: Homecoming. Next, I decided to check out the roleplaying scene. I ran into my new friend, who I can't just keep calling my new friend... I checked, and I'll call her Jenny's player, since the character of hers that I know best is Jenny. Anyway, she recognized me because I was on the character my account is named after, though she'd never met the character before. We teamed up, with me switching characters. My even newer friend who I roleplayed and teamed with a couple of nights ago -- Direct X is his account name -- joined us. Jenny's player left after one mission, more tired than she thought. Direct X stayed, and we did two or three more missions. Then I did some salsa dancing, then watched videos during my break. Next, I did more salsa dancing, followed by other exercises, and writing my daily update, including making notes to write from the next day. {Smile}
