Daily Update, May 28, 2023

    Today was Sunday, so I called Uber, and went to church. The driver wasn't chatty, though I think he's been chattier in the past. maybe he was having a quiet day. {Smile}

   At church, I went in, and Auntie Barbara came and sat with me. The service was nice, and the food was so plentiful, I didn't even try to find the nuts that they seem to keep in a bowl in the office. I sat with Auntie Barbara during lunch, too, and had a nice chat with her and a few others. {Smile}

   After that, Auntie Barbara took me home. She noticed some furniture sitting in front of our seaward neighbors, and I told her I thought that was there for the taking, and that I think they're moving. She saw some chairs, and said she really needed more chairs, especially since they expected guests soon. So we went over to look. There was a slightly old looking matched set that she said she knew how to recover. Another that I thought looked in better condition looked harder to recover to her, so she took the matched set. {Smile}

   Then we went in to visit with Mom. She tried singing, and Mom actually sang along with few songs. then Auntie Barbara looked at the picture books I've gotten for Mom.

   She suggested that I call my aunt, since it was good day for Mom, so maybe she and her sister could get more of a conversation. After resting a bit, I did. I had a little talk with my aunt, then took the phone to Mom. She said hello a couple of times, and a couple of general tings, like that it was a nice day. That's a good conversation with Mom these days. {Smile}

   I had dinner with Mom and read to her before that. I read scripture and thoughts about it first and continued with more from her niece's long family letter from 2019. Then I started reading and showing Mom pictures from _Memories 1960's_. Next, I read "Humpback Whales on the Comeback Trail" from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. I finished with the May 28th story from _366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year_. Mom enjoyed both what I read and what I showed her. {Smile}

   I did my head exercises after dinner. They're the only exercises my physical therapist wants me to do the day after physical therapy. {Smile}

   After the phone call with my aunt, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, did a little paperwork, and found Perogies, who wanted to attend a DJ show. That's a web-hosted show that reminds me most of listening to the radio, with musical pieces interspersed with the DJ who chooses them talking to his audience in between. We chatted while listening to it. Near the end, we went to team with Kitten. We ended up arriving early at the later short, large-group event. I wanted it for one of my characters, who's been wanting the rewards from it for most of last week, but we were always doing something else. Then we ran a couple of short arcs a couple of missions long each, and tried a single mission that wasn't as easy as I'd hoped before I went to read to Mom. Perogies left before the last, which Kitten and I didn't finish. {Smile}

   After dinner, I read several comics, then got back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found kitten still there and said hi. We teamed up and did two lower mid-level story arcs that contribute to a couple of badges. They left, and I did a solo mission that was the last of a bunch I needed for a badge. Yes, i finally got that badge. I also said goodnight to Nox; we missed a chance to talk again. Then I worked on something for a friend, and on this, but didn't get it finished until the next morning. {Smile}
