Daily Update, May 13, 2023

    Today, I called my aunt Valerie after lunch. I told her about things that have happened recently here, including things I thought she should know as Mom's next-of-kin after me. I also learned about how things are going with her. It was a nice phone call. {Smile}

   I had breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. She was definitely awake today, and more responsive than she she's sleepy. I started with scripture and thoughts about it, then I read four cards from her nephew, her cousin's granddaughter, a different cousin, and her sister. After that, I started _1950's Fashion in Pictures_. She seemed particularly interested in the pictures of clothes. Next, I read "Ukrainians Don't Need Visas to Move to Ireland," from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the May 13th story from _366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year_. Mom enjoyed both pictures and stories. {Smile}

   I did my walking exercises, and over 25 minutes of salsa dancing. I'm supposed to do 30 minutes of salsa dancing, and I think all my exercises... I really should check with my therapist about salsa dancing nights and the rest of my exercises. {Smile}

   After lunch and my call to aunt Valerie, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I found Kitten teaming with a friend. I asked about joining and did so. They'd just started Kitten's favorite high-level story arc. the three of us did fine, but for the last mission, they wanted someone else, too. Azurette joined, which was fun. Then Azurette left, and kitten's friend switched characters. We played two or three more story-arcs, and then I left because it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   I got back into City of Heroes: Homecoming after dinner. Kitten was still on, though their friend had left. We teamed up to work on the moderately low-level story-arcs we're doing for badges, and actually got two done. Kitten talked about stopping because they were tired, but Phonso came on, and invited us to a task force, and Kitten joined right along with me, and kept up just fine. I started talking with nox on the chat server, too. After the task force, Phonso left, and Darkthough1 and Mistress Aegis came on. How I wished to team with them, but it was time to start my exercises, so I limited myself to talking with them, Nox, and Kitten between my exercise and my dancing sets. Nox left first, then Kitten went quiet, and Dark and Aegis left last. Then I read some comics, and wrote this up, but didn't have time to share it everywhere. {Smile}
