Yesterday, I took Uber to the vet to pick up Val's medicine. Then I met the driver in the parking lot. We were getting ready to leave when they brought out one more package of medicine. I have a bit over 4 weeks' supply, which is great when I have to pay Uber for a round trip to pick it up.
The same driver took me to Hale Anuenue, where I visited with our family friend, and one of her daughters, who was visiting her. I checked with them about the book for another daughter of our family friend's. They thought she'd love it, so after visiting with them a while, I went over to that daughter's room to visit, giving her the book. She loved getting a book that had no words in the main part to misbehave like words have been doing. That it had kitty pictures was even better. We looked at some of the pictures together before I left. Then I called Uber and got the same driver to take me home. You don't often get the same driver, especially three times in a row, though she'd made that more likely, waiting in the vet's parking lot while I got the medicine. {Smile}
I also called financial adviser about some papers I'd gotten in the mail. I pictures of the papers to her late last night. {Smile}
I ate dinner with Mom, and read to her before that, too. I started with scripture and thoughts about it and then read the last bit of her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. Then, I read more about the people who lived in an earlier time from People of Pern by Robin Wood. Next, I read "Brooklyn Landlord Cancels Rent for Hundreds During Covid," and "First Hydrogen-Powered Trains Run in Germany, with Only Emissions -- Condensed Water," both from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the May 2nd story from 366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year. Mom liked what I read and showed her. {Smile}
I did my walking and head exercises. I also did over 20 minutes of salsa dancing. I hoped to do more, including arm exercises, arm swinging exercises, and more salsa dancing, but somehow things got pushed too late. {small smile}
I read comics over lunch and afterwards, then hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I found my RWBY friend. We did a simple mission and started another. Then we tried to watch a RWBY video together, but I couldn't get the subtitles to work, and they really help me follow the story. Then Thecyberchill said hi, and we got together. We ended up working slowly through an old Halloween-themed mission of mine that took us close enough to time to read to Mom, I just did a little paperwork in the remaining time.
I got back into City of Heroes: Homecoming after dinner. I didn't spot any of the friends I frequently hang out with on, so I worked on paperwork that had piled up that day and the day before. About the time it was done, Phonso said hi, and invited me to the same strike force I didn't join yesterday. We ran it, and then I mentioned it was my first special of the week, and he said he'd have run a different special if he'd known, because it gives better rewards. He ran the one we'd just run again. I did it with the same character because it counts towards a badge, even though it gives poorer rewards the second time if you repeat too soon. I also chatted with Nox, and tried to chat with my Welsh friend, but he didn't stay on. He did respond to what I left while I was asleep, so that is going slowly. {Smile}
