Daily Update, April 22, 2023

    Today I had physical therapy at Life care Center. I took Uber over, with a nice, chatty driver. There was a ship in, and he was happy at the prospect of making money with the tourists. {Smile}

   At physical therapy, we had a good session. I liked chatting with my therapist, both about therapy and other stuff. I learned that he recommends working up to 30 minutes a day for daily, like before, but also think that if I could do 40 minutes one day, I could take the next day off. This sounds like a nice alternative; I'll have to start working harder at doing more salsa dancing when I do it. {Smile}

   Afterwards I'd hoped to pick up a prescription at Safeway, but it looked too close to their pharmacy's lunch break when I finished. Besides, I was more tired than I expected to be. So, I went straight home by Uber. The driver was pleasant, and chatty, and I got to rest sooner. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. I started with scripture and thoughts about it first, and then read a card from her cousin, and started her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. I followed that with more entries from People of Pern by Robin Wood. Then I read "Farmer Studies law for 16 years and Beats Polluters," and "Ghanian Teacher Teaches MS Word on Board, Gets Computer Donations," both from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the April 22nd story from 366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year. Mom liked everything I read to her, some more than others. {Smile}

   No exercise beyond physical therapy today. That left me quite tired enough. {Smile}

   I started writing the parts of yesterday's daily update that weren't done yet over breakfast, and continued through the morning, getting it finished and shared just before it was time to go to physical therapy. That felt like an accomplishment. Then I read comics over lunch and afterwards. {Smile} 

   I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming around 2 pm, and found Div, Darkthough1, and Mistress Aegis on. I chatted a bit with them. Then Div, Darkthough1, and I teamed up to help Div with a mission they had. Then we did a couple more missions. My RWBY friend joined us somewhere along the way. Then Div left, and my RWBY took lead, and finished the story arc we'd started yesterday. Then my RWBY friend admitted he was dozing and went off to bed. Darkthough1 and I continued to do missions, and Thecyberchill joined us for the last mission. {Smile}

   After dinner, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and found Darkthough1 and Mistress Aegis on. I showed Darkthough1 a character he'd inspired and helped name. He liked the dress she was wearing, that I'd tweaked again last night. He got a similar character, and we teamed up for a couple of missions. I also chatted with Nox a bit before they went to bed. Darkthough1 went to bed a while after, and I started doing paperwork for City of Heroes, reading comics, and writing most of this, except for a little I got done around diner time. {Smile}
