Daily Update, August 20, 2024

    On Tuesday, the driver who takes me to the monthly picnic called when I first got up that morning. I explained that I felt going the day after my toenail was removed seemed a bit too ambitious, but I should be fine for next month. She thanked me and hoped my toe gets better. {Smile}

   Then I called the picnic's group leader and explained the same thing. She also thanked me and hopes my toe gets better. So that went well. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. i was back to a mostly full reading today, in spite of starting late because I lost track of time. Mom was sitting up when I went in. I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Next, I read two cards, one from church, and the other from a friend. Then I continued _The Picture Book of Kids and Animals_. After that, I read six short poems from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I ended with reading the 20th of August's story, "The Shelter," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   No exercise today - the podiatrist specifically said I should stay off my feet for a week, though I only had to lie flat for the rest of the day, so I'm back up at my computer more. {Smile}

   Over breakfast, I read articles and switched to Cross Stitch World some time afterwards. Then I cleaned myself up before lunch. During lunch, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I found Div. We teamed up and ran several missions. Div added my character to a SG he's developing. Then Div left, so I did some paperwork. Then I played cross Stitch World before I wrote up Monday's daily update. I began sharing it when I realized it was past time to read to Mom, and dashed off, leaving it incompletely shared. {Smile}

   After dinner, I finished sharing Monday's daily update. Then I started writing this daily update. After that I played some Cross Stitch World before hopping back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I talked with Ulty and Jenny's player, who were both winding down. Then I noticed a taskforce and joined it. The group then went on to a sequel taskforce this particular one has. My character needed it, too, so I stayed for that. Afterwards, I did some paperwork. Then Div came in, and we teamed up. We did two timed missions I had. We would have done more, but the first was long. The second was shorter, and we turned down the difficulty because we both had to leave before too much longer. Div added the character I was on to the same supergroup as the earlier one - they were relatives anyway - grandson in the morning, Grandpa at night. Their daughter/mother was already in it. Then we added Grandma and picked out storage. I said have a good day to Div, and he wished me good night. Then I made notes in this. {Smile}
