Daily Update, July 16, 2024

    Right after breakfast my ride came and took me down to the monthly meeting. that went well, and so did the lunch that was the later part of the meeting. For we adjourned after lunch, since some folks were ready to go home. The same ride took me home. As we were getting home, I checked about other rides. They're doable, but I would have to call ahead and see if the driver is available. If they aren't, then I have to find another way. {Smile}

   After I got home, I called the surgeon's nurse. I know I'm not eligible for the operation, but could I become eligible? Under what circumstances? She said the surgeon isn't available until Thursday. She will ask then and get back to me. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was awake when I went in and stayed awake and interested in all the pictures. First, I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. Then I started her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. Next, I continued _Calm Babies Picture Book_, which shows peaceful babies with short phrases for captions, which I read, along with giving a partial description of each baby. After that, I read a longish story which was actually the beginning of _Alice in Wonderland_ from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished with the 16th of July's story, "She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I walked out to the mailbox and back this afternoon. Then, after dinner, I did my arm resistance exercises and my leg exercises. Then I did over 20 minutes of salsa dancing late in the evening, in two sets. {Smile}

   After getting home after the meeting and the phone call, I played Cross Stitch World and read articles. Next, I wrote up Monday's daily update. After that, I cleaned myself up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I talked with Pierogies, who was in the later long, large-group event. Afterwards, we teamed up on villains and did a mission which Dennis soon joined. We split up after that, and I went to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner I did some exercise and began writing this up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming and started on paperwork. I spotted some folks going after a giant monster and joined them. then some of us took on a second giant monster. After that, they broke up, so I started on paperwork. Then Dennis came in. We chatted briefly, then joined up to do four missions, two of his, one of mine, then one of his which was really close to the one of mine we did. Then I did some paperwork. Next, Pierogies came in and suggested we farm together. I did that, along with chatting, exercises, checking out videos I wanted to show him, and finishing out with a little writing and more notes in this daily update. {Smile}
