Daily Update, April 23, 2025

On Wednesday after breakfast, I had an appointment with my dietician. It went well. It was longer than previous online appoints with her. We had much to talk about, between the new dance classes and some ideas I wanted to check with her about. She suggested the best course forward, which i will try to pursue. {Smile}

After my bath in the late afternoon, we found a black chicken in the dining room. My main nurse promised to chase it out. He eventually succeeded, but the chicken took a tour of the computer room and I'm not sure where else on the way out. I'm sure that was not the idea of my nurse. Later, I spotted two more black chickens in the living room and pointed them out to my main nurse. He opened the front door and chased them towards it, getting them out much more efficiently. Luckily, they were in a room with a door straight out, unlike the first chicken. Also, my main nurse had practice by then, which seemed to help. I noticed he closed all three doors out after getting all the chickens out. He tends to leave one or two of them open until I close them at dinnertime. Also, yes, Hilo has feral chickens all over town, meaning they're domestic breeds that have gone wild. {Smile}

After dinner exercise, I got a phone call from Auntie Barbara. We mainly arranged our meet up tomorrow for lunch, and possibly craft fairs. It was much more tentatively planned before. {Smile}

A while after dinner, I exercised. I started with my arm resistance exercises. Then I did three of my arm weight training. After that I did my head exercises and my arm swinging exercises before finishing up with my other three arm weight training exercises. {Smile}

Before the online meeting, I read a couple of web comics. After the online meeting, I browsed Amazon for stuff my nutritionist liked. Then I played Cross Stitch World and had lunch before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with paperwork. Then Div came in and said hi. We teamed up and did a couple of missions before they headed out. Then I did paperwork until Pierogies said hi. He asked about the story arc I'm working up. We ran it together. He likes it a lot. He was surprised it was my first attempt. Apparently, most folks struggle to tell stories through this, but my parents would have happily told you I was telling stories while I was still learning to talk and have been doing so ever since. Anyway, we finished the story arc. Then he left, I did paperwork, including making some changes to the story arc, both from Tuesday and Wednesday. I did other paperwork too. Then I broke to clean myself up with my main nurse's help. After that, we found the first chicken. Next, I did some City of Heroes: Homecoming paperwork. After that, I got up and found the other two chickens. Then, before dinner, I set up the character Kitten is designing in City of Heroes: Homecoming for more things to do, {Smile}

After dinner, I wrote up Tuesday's daily update. Then I exercised before I went into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with paperwork. Then Phonso invited me to a taskforce. It was slow to fill, so I talked with Divi, Ulty, and Jenny's player, but they were all busy, and didn't join. Then I talked to another friend I talk to less frequently when the taskforce was reluctantly getting ready to go with fewer than preferred. That friend didn't have a suitable character high enough, but I was able to tell her how to change one who is high enough, enough to qualify. She joined us after it finally filled, taking the spot reserved for her. We ran it, and she thanked me for teaching her how to make that change. I also talked with Nox on the chat server during and after the taskforce. After the taskforce, Phonso left, as did my other friend. I did paperwork, then played Cross Stitch World. Then I made notes in this, with breaks for a few comics. I searched Amazon after that. {Smile}
