I got a text from the vet. Yes, one unit of insulin as long as Val is eating. If he stops, no more insulin while he isn't eating. That makes sense to me. {Smile}
Looks like I sent the day before's story twice; I thought I hadn't added it just long enough to send it again. {blush, look down}
I got up late enough, and taking care of Val took long enough, I started eating breakfast while I was signing into my counselling session already this morning. I think it was an okay session. We talked about what's been happening recently with Val and others, too. I'm not entirely comfortable with what she says about how to build a family, but we'll see what happens. At this point, I really need to be open to possibilities, and that was her biggest suggestion, so we're in full agreement there. {smile}
I ate lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I read scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I read a Thanksgiving card from her sister, a birthday card from her cousin, and a valentine's day card from her sister, too. After that, I finished reading _Memories 1960s_ properly this time, reading all the pages from the first missed pages, including those I had read, then finishing with teh blurb ont he back of the book. Next, I read three poems from _365 Bedtime Stories and Rhymes_. That seemed short, but the next story was four pages long, which seemed too much when she was already tired. So, I ended with _Bobby's Toys_, the September 21st story from _366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year_. Bobby had been given a toy monkey for his birthday, but three weeks later, it was still on a high shelf, not played with. The monkey complained about the boy not playing with him, when he was glossy and new, when the boy played with an old worn teddy bear who was missing half his fur and one eye. The teddy bear suggested staying up on the shelf if he wanted to stay glossy, clean, and unworn, because he'd gotten the way he was from being played with often. The monkey didn't know whether to topple off the shelf and join the fun, or stay up there, out of harm's way. {Smile}
Well, I didn't do any exercise until my salsa dancing. Then I did my warmup salsa dancing set, then my head exercises during the break, then my less structured salsa dancing set. Yes, I got over 20 minutes of salsa dancing. Then I did my arm resistance exercises, my walking exercises, my arm swinging exercises, and my leg exercises. The last of the leg exercises left me panting a little, so I took a short break after that. After the break, I did my standing arm weight training exercises, followed by my sitting arm weight training exercises. Yes, I got them all done today! {SMILE}
I read articles and comics after the video counselling session, and also right after lunch. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I didn't see any of my closer friends on, but I did see a high-level trial being advertised. The run was trying for a particular badge. It turned out my best badge collector didn't have that badge, so I ran it on her. Kitten came on near the beginning and said hi. I promised to join them after it was over. Wehn we were both done with what we were doing, we teamed up with me on the lower-level character I've been working on. We started that story arc I wanted to start, and Perogies came in and joined us for much of the first part. He left before the last mission. So, Kitten and I finished without him. Then I started a contact with less story to his missions, and Kitten and I ran a few missions before it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}
After dinner, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I said hi to Kitten on the chat server, and they said hi and came on to team up with me. I also started chatting with the fellow I met a few nights ago who likes stories. After a while, I invited him to join us. We finished up that contact, and I was ready to start the next story arc until I realized my character was one level too low. I had an individual mission, which got me a little closer to the next level, and then got a similar one, which also got me closer to the next level. I said hi to Nox but didn't get back to them in time to chat. We ended up saying goodnight and hoping to talk more soon. The contact for the individual missions wanted to give me a complicated mission. I asked my teammates if they wanted to, they pretty much said it was up to me. So, I got it, and we did it, and then my new friend left because it was getting late. Rather than start the story arc when I didn't think we'd have time to finish, I switched to first one then another high-level character I've developing further and ran a single mission with particularly good rewards on each. Then I talked with Kitten a bit as I started my salsa dancing and other exercises. I concentrated on doing them and writing this more, but I still snuck on for a bit of paperwork. I'll have to share this the day after; it's getting too late to take the time before bed. {apologetic smile}
I finally published the day before's update just before this one. {smile}
