Daily Update, July 27, 2024

    Saturday morning, I took a nap. I needed one because I haven't been getting enough sleep. I felt distinctly better, though not really great afterwards. That made me realize that part of my problem is that I really am getting too little sleep starting too late. I simply have to change that. last night was an improvement, though not the greatest improvement. {smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was resting when i went in but did respond. She didn't open her eyes much, not even for baby pictures, which kept that part short.  I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. After that, I continued _the Picture Book of Babies_ - that's the larger one with a lot of costumes, since we have two with that exact name. She wasn't opening her eyes much, though, so I moved the bookmark back to the page it had been in, and moved on to reading two poems, a short story, and another poem from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_, I finished off by reading the 27th of July's story, "Pedro Trots Home" from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my arm swinging exercises and arm resistance exercises right after dinner. Then I did my salsa dancing warmup set after playing on City of Heroes: Homecoming for most of the evening. After a break, I did my salsa dancing less structured set, for slightly over 21 minutes of salsa dancing. Then after another break, I did my walking exercises, and after a short break I did my head exercises, though it was really late for them. {Smile}

   Over and after breakfast, I read articles and played Cross Stitch World until I admitted to myself that I really did need to lie down for a nap. When I got up, I had lunch, and might have browsed on Amazon while I did. Then I checked out City of Heroes: Homecoming. I didn't find Div, so I did a little paperwork. Then I finished Friday's daily update. Next, I cleaned myself up. After that, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Pierogies, who wanted to do the later long, large-group event, so I joined it too. Then we tried to start the new story arc together. We didn't even finish the first mission before it was time to read to mom, so we'll have to try again, but we will. I'm determined to. {Smile}

   After dinner and exercises, I began writing this up. then I hopped into City of heroes: Homecoming. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming again. I talked with Ulty, Divi (not Div), and Jenny's player. None of them were doing something I could join. Then I talked with TheCyberChill. We teamed up for visiting purposes only. I visited their base, which they were busy working on and kept talking with Divi. I also talked a little with Nox on the chat server. Then Dennis came on and said hi. I excused myself from TheCyberChill and joined Dennis, who'd found a team we ran a few high-level missions with before separating to run a couple of moderately high-level missions of his. Then we talked before he went to bed. After that, I did a little paperwork. Next, I did my salsa dancing warm-up set. I read comics in the break before I did my salsa dancing less structured set. Then I read more comics and began making notes in this before doing some exercises. After that, I continued making notes in this, with a little writing, and a break for more exercises. Then I finished making notes in this, with a little writing. I did finish sooner than recently, but I still need to work on being earlier regularly. {Smile}
