Daily Update, April 25, 2023

    I didn't go out or get any special calls, but I had a short text-chat with Auntie Barbara. I also had a nice text chat on Discord with my Welsh friend, who I hadn't heard from in a while. We actually had a short text chat yesterday that I forgot to mention in my last daily update, but this one was a bit longer and more involved. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before it. I started with scripture and thoughts about it and read more from her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021 next. Then I read a few entries from People of Pern by Robin Wood. After that, I read "The Cost of Insulin Capped at $35 by House," and "Pakistan to Plant Billions of Trees Using thousands of Unemployed Workers," both from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the April 25th story from 366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year. Mom said she enjoyed what read to her, and the pictures, too. {Smile}

   I did my walking exercises, and over 20 minutes of salsa dancing, including warmup and less structured dancing. At least I got some, and just a little more than usual. I'll work harder at getting more. {Smile}

   I finished yesterday's daily update after breakfast, then read some comics over lunch. Then I hopped into city of Heroes: Homecoming. I did some paperwork and found my RWBY friend on. we were deciding what to do when Kitten came on. They joined us, and we did some missions together. I think some of us switched characters at some point, but we teamed until my RWBY friend was tired, and I was thinking about reading to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I read a couple of comics, and hopped back into City of Heroes. I found Darkthough1 and Mistress Aegis, and we started to get together when Phonso spoke up earlier than usual, inviting us to a strike force. Mistress Aegis and I joined, and my RWBY friend came on, so they joined, too. We ran it, and my RWBY friend left afterwards, heading back to bed. Then Phonso did a task force that we joined, too. Then Heartsever, another friend of mine, spoke up while we were running that task force. I chatted for a bit with Nox on the chat server, too. Mistress Aegis and I switched to our little villains, and Darkthough1 joined us, too. Kitten came on again and joined us stayed with us, and Heartsever joined us partway through the first of a few missions we did. We broke up early enough for me to do my walking exercises in addition to the salsa dancing. I chatted with Kitten on the chat server, and even got together to get them a few badges for their new character around the salsa dancing and writing this update. {Smile}
