Daily Update, July 29, 2024

    My morning really began with me testing with our housekeeper to see how the corset I gave her is working. it's working great, so I sent her the link to it on Amazon, in case she wanted a second one, so one could be worn while the other was washed. I learned that from a preparing for college life book... they suggested it sheets. It works with them, too. {Smile}

   Then I tried phone with surgeon's nurse. I got her, but she asked to call me back. I said sure, and she called back. She didn't call me back, though, nor did she answer when I tried again a few times later in the day. {smile}

   Next, I called my parents' lawyer to make an appointment with lawyer's notary public for the next day. I need them to deal with a packet from my aunt's estate. {smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. I was a little late, but she was awake when I went in, but seemed tired, and soon dozed off. She'd wake to answer and look at things and first, right through the baby pictures. First, I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. After that, I finished her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. Next, I started _Picture Book: Babies_ that's the one with facts about babies on each page. Seh did respond, and even open her eyes to look, but I'm tempted to restart it when she's more awake. then I read a story and six poems, from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I ended by reading the 29th of July's story, "The Sparrows," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. She was pretty much out of it by then, but I think I can just read tomorrow's story tomorrow. It's not like she was missing the babies she loves so much. {Smile}

   I did four of my arm-swinging exercises between reading to Mo and dinner. Then I did the other eight arm-swinging exercises, and my arm resistance exercises after dinner. After much of the evening, I did one of my standing arm weight training exercises. After a break, I did the other one, and started my salsa dancing warmup set. I needed a break during that, but I got back and finished it fairly quickly. Then I took a long break before doing my salsa dancing less structured set... with a restart near the beginning of the first piece. I did somewhere between 20 and 21 minutes of salsa dancing, I think. I'm not quite sure how much because of that restart. After another break, I did my walking exercises, yes, all 14 if them in full. {Smile}

   After breakfast, the texts, and the first phone calls, I read some articles and played some Cross Stitch World. then I had lunch while reading more articles. After lunch, I finished the articles, and played a little Cross Stitch World. Then I peeked into City of Heroes: Homecoming. Next, I finished writing up Sunday's daily update. Then I cleaned myself up. After that, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Pierogies, and we started to team up. Dennis joined us, and so did Kitten. To start, we did the next story in the new story arc. The others were bored, especially Pierogies - it's probably most extended talk-mission I've seen. Dennis actually complained. Though Kitten found something to fight at the end anyway, which helped. Hating to have our main play be so boring, I suggested we squeeze the next mission, which was much more active. {Smile}

   After dinner and exercises, I began writing this up. Then, a little concerned about how much I'd bored folks earlier, I read articles and played Cross Stitch World before hopping into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I was still settling in when Phonso invited me to a strike force. I joined it and found that Divi was running it too. Afterwards, I said goodbye to Divi. Then soloed some hunts before reading some comics. I just said goodnight to Nox int eh chat world. I think I also did some web shopping for books on dating and/or relationships. Next came the salsa dancing and exercise with videos, browsing for books, and writing some of this in the breaks. Afterwards, I wrote more of this and browsed comics online and books on Amazon. {Smile}
