Daily Update, August 24, 2024

    On Saturday, I learned that Sunday's church services are cancelled due to Storm Hune "out of an abundance of caution," as our priest likes to say. first, our main nurse told me, saying Auntie Barbara had texted him about it. I checked my phone and found a few texts and a voicemail message about it, some from Auntie Barbara and at least one from our priest. So, I called Auntie Barbara after dinner, and we talked about it a little. It was nice to talk with her, even under these circumstances. {Smile}

   I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I came in at a typical time again. Mom was drowsy at first, but she seemed to enjoy the reading. First, I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. Then I read three cards, one each from her cousin, another cousin's granddaughter, and me. After that, I started reading _Calm Babies Picture Book_. Hext, I read two short stories and a slightly longer story from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I ended with reading the 24th of August's story, "Kind Ophelia," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I still didn't do any exercise today. I'm supposed to see the podiatrist again on Monday; I figure exercise can wait that long. {Smile}

   I lingered over breakfast with Mom. I eventually moved out to give our relief nurse room to prepare for handing us off to our main nurse. On my computer, I read a comic, the played Cross stitch World before I wrote up Friday's daily update. I started playing City of Heroes: Homecoming during lunch. First, I did some paperwork. Then I found Div, and we teamed up. I helped them with one mission, then they helped me get that character further along. Next, they left, and I did some paperwork before I cleaned myself up. After that, I did more paperwork and played some Cross Stitch World before I read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I started writing this up and making notes in it. Then I played a little Cross Stitch World before hopping back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I chatted with Ulty and Jenny's Player, then said hi to Michiel. We teamed up, and he helped me with another mission for that character. I talked with Dr. Faustus about getting together, but he was joining a task force. Michiel left after that mission, so we said goodnight. It was too late to join Dr. Faustus, so I did some paperwork. Then an acquaintance invited me to a team that filled before I could invite Dr. Faustus to it. I left after one mission and joined Dr. Faustus for a mission that got one of my littles a badge they need. After that, he left, and I did more paperwork. Next, I played Cross Stitch World and read some comics. I finished the evening later than I meant to by hopping into City of Heroes: Homecoming to play a little by myself and making notes in this.
