Daily Update, May 16, 2023

    Yesterday, I got a call from my financial adviser after breakfast. She told me what progress she'd made while I tried to remember what I wanted to teel her. I remembered one part just as she was suggesting I call back later, and remembered the other pat as I was finishing the first. So we got everything covered after all. {Smile}

   Then just as I was finishing getting ready to go, the driver arrived to take me to the picnic. So that worked out pretty well. The driver and I chatted a little on the way down, but there was much more chatting at the picnic. There was also a major coffee spill that somehow coincided with a big gust of wind. It It somehow ended up in my lap. There were apologies, and I blotted up what I could, and declared it good enough to get me home. 

   I rode home with the leader. We had a lovely talk on the way home. She also bought another Asterix comic off me, since I still have two that I've replaced. Well, one now. {Smile}

   I had dinner with Mom and read to her before that. I read scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I read the Mother's Day card I gave her Sunday, followed by a Thanksgiving card from her sister, and a Christmas card from her cousin's granddaughter. After that, I continued _1960's Fashion in Pictures_. This time, she liked to say "and that's a lot" after most of the pictures. Next, I read "Chile Opts for 11 million Acres of New National Parks," from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the May 16th story from _366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year_. Mom Mom said she liked what I read to her a lot today. {Smile}

   I did my head exercises, and over 20 minutes of salsa dancing. Yes, I need to do more, but at least I'm getting some of it done. {Smile}

   After I got back from the picnic, I cleaned up and changed some of my clothes because of the coffee spill. It was definitely nice to be less sticky. Next, I read some comics. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I found Perogies. WE chatted, then teamed up, and ran a couple of missions. Then we noticed it was close to the time for the later long, large-group event, so we joined that. After that, it was time to read to Mom.

   After dinner, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Darkthough1 and Mistress Aegis. We teamed up and did two story arcs which we'd meant to start yesterday before Phonso started inviting us to do task forces with him. I was surprised we got both done completely, but we did, though it took us right up to bedtime for them and exercise time for me. I also chatted with Nox. After Nox left, I looked up some things I've been thinking about, as well as doing a bit of paperwork in the game. Then I jotted down notes to write this from the next morning. {Smile}
