Daily Update, May 5, 2023

    I stayed home today and didn't even do a lot of phoning. I thought about a little but didn't get around to it. {resigned smile}

   The housekeeper came after lunch. It's always nice to see her, and our house is definitely cleaner for her attentions. {Grin}

   I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I read scripture and thoughts about it, followed by three Christmas cards, from Mom's nephew, cousin, and sister, all from 2019. After that, I read two introductions to Fantasy Encyclopedia by Judy Allen, the first the official introduction by Johnathan Stroud, and the second a part by the author before the first chapter that felt like another introduction as I read it. Next, I read "Minnesota Pays Homeowners to Plant Bee-Friendly Flowers," from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the May 5th story from 366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year. Mom liked what I read to her, and the pictures, too. Seh seemed asleep when I got there but woke up nicely for the readings and pictures. {Smile}

   I did my walking, head, arm swinging exercises, and arm exercises. That's everything I'm supposed to do two days after physical therapy. {Grin}

   I wrote yesterday's daily update after breakfast, and then read a few comics, reading more comics after lunch. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming and checked paperwork quickly before find that my RWBY friend was on. We talked a bit, teaming up, then ran a story arc because I wanted a badge. We both got the badge, and enjoyed playing together, too. Then we started another story arc that had a badge I hadn't gotten yet. We then started another arc that I could get a badge for and ran a few missions before it was time to read to Mom.

   After dinner, I sent a text message to my RWBY friend, and hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. He hopped in right after me, having heard the text notification. We teamed up and finished the story arc we'd started before dinner. We both got the badge I wanted, and he got another badge as well. Then we said goodnight. I was just starting some paperwork when I noticed a task force I wanted on my third best badge collector, who's starting to work on the badge line the second-best badge collector recently finished. So, I joined that instead of doing the paperwork right then. Next, I ran an arc Kitten thought would be good for getting some badges for making it harder. It took two tries, but I did it. After that, I chatted with Nox for a while before they went to bed. After that, I did my exercises, and some paperwork on a couple of characters, and worked on this, but managed to get sidetracked looking at articles, so I finished writing this the next day. {Smile}
