Daily Update, April 27, 2023

    I had a counseling session this morning, right after breakfast. It was our second session on HMSA's own system. I had to sign in twice, because the first time they couldn't find my insurance plan and were going to charge me even more than I paid for Zoom. They found it on the second try and charged nothing. We got cut off before making another appointment, so we finished up by text. I suggested next time, schedule the next at the beginning of the session, so we know we'll have time for that. {Smile}

   The housekeeper came today, right after counselling. That was nice. I do enjoy talking with her, and the house is definitely better for her attentions. {Smile}

   In the middle of the afternoon, I went to my dentist. He only gave a quick look; I was primarily there for cleaning. I really have to do a better job. There was a lot of swelling with my gums. They made some suggestions, and I'm thinking about how to handle this. I'm sure I can improve. {Smile}

   I had a nice conversation with our former nurse. He called a while before dinner, which worked nicely for both of us. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. I read scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I read more from her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. After that, I read about the Weyrs, the homes of dragons, their riders, and those who support them most closely, and two entries about dragon riders from People of Pern by Robin Wood. After that, I read "Damage to Notre Dame Cathedral Not as Bad as We Thought," and "Denver Hires Homeless; Now 100 Have New Jobs," both from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the April 27th story from 366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year. Mom liked what I read to her, and the pictures I showed her as well. {Smile}

   I did my head exercises. They're the exercises I'm supposed to do every day I don't actually have physical therapy. {Smile}

   After counselling, I finished yesterday's daily update and shared it by email, Facebook, and my Blog, https://aeb-anne.blogspot.com then read comics over lunch, and then got ready to go. I'd hoped to have time to peek in the game before going to the dentist, but I didn't. When I got back, I remembered to share yesterday's daily update on the chat server, so I didn't get onto City of Heroes: Homecoming until after five. I found my RWBY friend there, we chatted a little, and quickly teamed up for one mission together before they left for bed, and I left to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and found Darkthough1 on. We chatted a bit and did a mission together. Then I noticed Phonso advertising the two high level task forces which are usually done as a pair. We joined that, with me on my third best badge collector. We still didn't get the one badge from that that she doesn't have, but I'll just keep trying. I also chatted a bit with Nox before they went to bed. After the task force, that group split up, and Phonso left, so Darkthough1 and I did one of my missions before Darkthough1 left for bed. I did some paperwork, read a few comics, and wrote this up. {Smile}
