Daily Update, June 15, 2024

    On Tuesday, I phoned the leader of the monthly meeting I go to and confirmed we're meeting the next day. Then I phoned the driver who takes me and arranged a pickup time for my ride to the next meeting. {Smile}

   Then I phoned the surgeon's nurse and found out where they are in the process of arranging for a CT scan. That is moving very slowly, but it's not quite stuck. My insurance asked my doctor for more information rather than approving it immediately. My doctor is still preparing that extra information. {smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was resting when I went in, and often kind of drowsed while reading, but mostly opened her eyes to enjoy the pictures. I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. After that, I read from her cousin and me. Next, I started _Calm Babies Picture Book_, which shows peaceful babies with short phrases for captions, which I read, along with a partial description of the baby. Next, I read three poems, two fairly long, and one even longer, from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I ended with the 15th of July's story, "The Lost Appetite," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my standing arm weight training exercises, my arm resistance exercises, and four of my arm-swinging exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then I did my other eight arm swinging exercises after dinner. After playing on CoH most of the evening, I did my salsa dancing warmup set. After a break I did another set, with two pieces for over 20 minutes of salsa dancing. 

   After breakfast, I played Cross Stitch World and read articles until lunch. After lunch, I played more Cross Stitch World and wrote up Sunday's daily update. Then I cleaned myself up. After that, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I found Pierogies. We talked, then teamed up and started a mission. Dennis joined us, and we finished the mission. Then we did another mission, running right up to time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I exercised. Then I started writing this up. After that, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I started some paperwork. Then Dennis came in, and we teamed up. We did a mission or two of mine. Then Kitten said hi and joined us right near the end of a mission. Dennis asked to do one of his missions. We did, and Kitten really made a difference. I also talked with Nox on the chat world. Kitten, Dennis, and I did another mission of Dennis's. Then Dennis left. Kitten and I did a mission of mine, then got ready to do another when Kitten stopped responding. Then Kitten timed out, so I did paperwork. Then I did some salsa dancing. I watched a couple of videos as a break, then did some more salsa dancing. Then I wrote a little of this. Next, I played Cross Stitch World, and read web fiction. I finished the evening by making notes in this. {Smile}
