On Thursday, breakfast ran into my counselling session, though I mostly ate it before we got started. It was a good session. We talked about things I've been concerned about and planned how to start working on things, including what resources to get next. I found too much to want to get all of it now. {Smile}
Then I had a few phone calls from the dentist's office, which prompted some with my financial adviser, too. the dentist's office was calling about the crowns for the teeth with the root canals. As the dentist knew and I remembered before the final call, those two really need to be done now. the old crowns were removed at the request of the endodontist. There's no way they won't need to be replaced before next January, when my insurance renews, but fortunately, my financial adviser assures me I can really afford them. I do need one more crown, but that one can wait until January, when the insurance should cover half of it, or close to that. {Smile}I ate lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I left the game moderately late. Mom was resting when I went in, but responded, and roused over the course of reading. She was fairly good at looking at things today, especially baby pictures. I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. After that, I finished _Picture Book: Babies_. She was really looking at those babies, though she claimed she didn't enjoy the book. I think this is a good example of how confusing late-stage dementia can get. Next, I read a story and six short poems from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished with reading the 8th of August's story, "Gino's Oasis," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}
I did my arm resistance exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then, a while after dinner, I did my head exercises and my arm swinging exercises. then after playing on City of Heroes, Homecoming for most of the evening, I did my standing and sitting arm weight training with only a couple of short breaks. I hope that's a good improvement for my second day after the root canal got finished. {Smile}
After counselling, I played Cross Stitch World while I thought about what the counselor and I discussed. then I read at least one comic. After lunch with Mom, I played more Cross Stitch World while I thought some more. Then I read articles before I wrote up Wednesday's daily update. Next, I cleaned myself up. After that, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I talked with Dennis Pierogies, and Kitten. I teamed up with Dennis, and Pierogies and Kitten joined us to do the last mission of the story arc I so wanted to finish on that moderately low-level character I played the other day. With that story arc done, she is finally ready to gain a few levels. So, with that, I broke to read to Mom. {Smile}
After dinner, I played more Cross Stitch World while thinking. Then I read the Amazon sample of the textbook of a textbook and workbook set my counselor favored. It does look particularly promising. After that, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started saying hi to friends. Michiel was leaving. Phonso was busy. Dennis came in, and we teamed up. Kitten joined us for most of it, too. We finished a story arc Dennis was near the middle of. Dennis left for bed. I think Kitten and I did one more mission. then they went quiet, then went offline. so, I worked on some of the paperwork that playing had produced. then I started soloing on a different character. I took a break to play Cross Stitch World, then went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming to do more of the paperwork. Then Pierogies came in, and we teamed up. We ran a mission that was slightly low but could be worse after we boosted it. Then I did what exercises I got done. Next, I wrote a little more of this and started making notes. I did peek on Amazon at the workbook of the set my counselor favored before I finished making notes in this. {Smile}
