Daily Update, November 2, 2024

I stayed home on Saturday. I mostly took it easy, but I did get some texts from our housekeeper. She sent them in the morning, but I found them shortly before reading to Mom before dinner. Our housekeeper hurt her ankle, and meant to tell me weeks ago, but the text only came through today, along with a second explaining. She plans to come next week, hopefully Tuesday. {Smile}

I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. Mom was awake when I went in again, and I don't think I was as late this time. Mom kept her eyes open and looked at all the pictures again, especially the ones of kids, but not only them. First, I started with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I read Christmas cards from her nephew and cousin. After that, I showed her pictures in _The Picture book of Babies_. Then I read a story from _Richard Scarry's 5-Minute Stories_. I finished with November 2nd's story, "The New Lodger," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

I didn't do any exercise, since it was the day after physical therapy. I figured I was still tired from that. {Smile}

After breakfast, I played Vindictus most of the morning. Then I started writing up Friday's daily update over lunch. After lunch, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I didn't find anyone I particularly like to team with, so I left to clean myself up. After that, I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Pierogies, but he told me about a personal emergency of his and left. No one else was around who I particularly like to team with, so I worked on my lowest level villain until I got bored of that. Then I spotted Ulty and Jenny's player and joined them for some bar roleplaying. with a break to admire some characters a friend of their had gotten, since many names finally became available that day. After that, I tried to join the late short, large-group event, but they were full. So went back to roleplay with Ulty and Jenny's player until it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}

After dinner, I finished writing up Friday's daily update with breaks for playing Cross Stitch World and reading comics. Then I began this daily update before I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found my German friend, Alex, and we teamed up. He asked about the character I was playing when we met on, so I got her out, and we ran a couple of my missions and one of his before Alex left. Then Pierogies came on. He really wanted to talk, so we got together in his base. Dennis said hi while we were there. When Pierogies and I finished talking, Pierogies left. I joined Dennis for a hunt followed by badge collecting for him. We met up with Pierogies, who came back on when he couldn't sleep.  Then Dennis left, and Pierogies and I ran a mission. After that, I left to make notes in this before bed. {Smile}
