Daily Update, July 21, 2024

    On Sunday, after Breakfast, I called Uber. A fellow came and got me, and we chatted most of the way to church. I got to church during the announcements right before the service. It was a nice service. Afterwards, I had lunch with Auntie Barbara, Michelle, and others. Then I went home with Auntie Barbara and Michelle. Auntie Barbara had wanted to send me home with another gal, but the other gal was busy. Auntie Barbara didn't come in to visit because she had another passenger to take care of, too. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was alert when I went in, and stayed that way through all the reading again, not just the baby pictures, though she was particularly focused on them. She does like baby pictures. I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Next, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. After that, I started _Picture Book of Happy Babies_, showing her each picture, reading a short caption, and saying a bit about the baby. Then I read six poems and one story from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished with the 21st of July's story, "Off to Town!" from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my arm resistance exercises and my head exercises while waiting for Uber to come take me to church. then I did four of my twelve arm swinging exercises between reading to mom and dinner. I did my other eight arm swinging exercises after dinner.  Then I did my standing arm weight training exercises after beginning to write this up and make notes here. After playing for the evening, I did my salsa dancing warmup set. After a break, I did my less structured salsa dancing set. I tried a new piece which gave me barely over 20 minutes of salsa dancing. It was so fast that I couldn't do my trickiest moves. I'm sure I got in at least as many steps as some of the longer but slower pieces. I was breathing heavily for a moment after that one stopped. Then after a break, I did my sitting arm weight training exercises before it was quite too late for more. {SMILE}

   After I got home, I read articles and played Cross Stitch World. Then I read a few comics, too. After that, I finished writing up Saturday's daily update. then I cleaned myself up. I got into City of heroes: Homecoming particularly late again. I started with some very quick paperwork. Then I found Kitten, and we tried to team up, but they were so hungry, then left to find food. I played by myself while waiting for them to come back, but before they did, I realized it was time to read to Mom, and quit. {Smile}

   After dinner, I exercised. Then I started writing this up. Then I did more exercise. After that, I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I found Pierogies. We teamed up on our low-level characters - well, his low level, and one of my low-levels - and ran mostly my missions until he left for bed. Then I picked up more missions and hunted by myself. I also chatted briefly with Nox on the chat world before saying goodnight. I also browse some comics, and browsed a bit on Amazon, too. Then I started salsa dancing. Next, I wrote more of this, and made more notes. Then I browsed some on Amazon and did some City of Heroes: Homecoming paperwork. Next came more salsa dancing. Then more taking notes and writing in this. After that, I did a little more exercise, and a little shopping on Amazon. I watched one video as I was shutting down amidst more taking notes and writing in this. {Smile}
