Daily Update, April 13, 2023

    Today, instead of our usual Zoom appointment, my counselor and I had our appointment over HMSA's Online Care. HMSA is my health insurance, and free is a good bit better copay than what I was paying for the Zoom appointments. We had a good session too. I told how I'm calming down about my future, and we talked about writing possibilities, too. {Smile}

   I also had a nice phone call with our former nurse after dinner. He wants me to call him tomorrow, too. I'm looking forward to that. {Smile}

   I ate lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. First, I read scripture and thoughts about it, and next I read the last of her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2022. After that, I read the first several pages of _Movie Stars Memory Lane_. After that, I read the third and fourth stories from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_.  I finished up by reading the April 13th story from 366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year. Mom seemed to like it all, especially the picture book She was looking at all the pictures while I read that, so I read a bit more than I planned to at first. {Smile}

   I did over 20 minutes of salsa dancing tonight, with both warmup and less structured dancing. {Smile}

   After lunch, I read comics, catching up on some I've recently had trouble accessing. I figured out that a different browser used a different search engine that wasn't having trouble. Ot was a relief to figure that out. I've been having trouble for a couple of weeks. {Smile}

   After that, I hopped into city of Heroes. I quickly found my RWBY friend, and we started talking. We teamed up, and did one mission before hiding our characters so people wouldn't be disappointed we were unresponsive and started a video call. We read two chapters, with him doing the first, me doing the first part of the second, and him doing the rest of the second, because the second was a lot longer than the first. After that, we teamed up for two more missions while chatting. That took us to time for me to break to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner and the phone call, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and looked around. Not much seemed to be going on, and folks weren't on much, either, so I decided to play solo to get a badge on my second-best badge collector. Once I did that, I looked around for something that would give my best badge collector a missing badge but didn't find it. The I saw a pair of high-level task forces advertised and tried to join. They didn't get many interested, and switched to another, longer task force. I also finally remembered to turn off the hiding. I warned the leader that I didn't have as much time for as i thought, so I needed to start soon. So, we did, even though we had half as many as a team can hold. It went well, though. I also chatted with Nox on the chat server until they went to bed. I also read comics and did a bit of research as well as writing some but not quite all of this up before my own bedtime. {Smile}
