I got some nice texts today, including some pictures from Auntie Barbara showing her enjoying herself with friends back home, where she's visiting. That was great to see! {SMILE}
I also had an actual test chat with Nox on the text server around lunch time. It got me thinking about family, and how distant I am from many relatives. Then I checked Facebook. The cousin I tried writing to a while back is a Facebook friend, so I made tentative steps towards communicating through Facebook. We'll see where things go from here. {Smile}
I ate Breakfast, lunch, and dinner with Mom, and read to her before dinner. I started with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I read a Thanksgiving card from her sister, a Christmas Card with pictures from a friend, and a Birthday card from me. Then, I started reading _Visions of Scotland. First, I read the blurb on the back of the book. then I read a caption they had right on the title page. Then I read the caption for the first few pages of pictures. It has lots of pictures and fairly short caption, which works pretty well for reading to Mom. Next, I read a story from _365 Bedtime Stories and Rhymes_. Last, I ended with _Winter Stores_, the September 22nd story from _366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year_. Mrs. Hedgehog was worried that they might not have enough food stored away for winter. She was especially worried that they had no fruit. LIttle harry Hedgehog told them about a pile of sweet red apples that belonged to an old lady who gave him milk when she saw him. His father told him to lead the way, so he did. His mother complained it was too far to carry the apples, but his father rolled up into a ball, and rolled onto the apples. One stuck to the spines on his back, so it was easy to carry home. The others copied him, and soon they had enough apples for winter. {Smile}
I got started a little earlier on my exercises than last night, so I got my arm swinging exercises, my walking exercises, and my arm resistance exercises done before I did my salsa dancing warmup set. I did my less structed salsa dancing set after a break. Then, after another break, I did my standing arm weight training exercises and one of my sitting arm weight training exercises, followed by my leg exercises, then the other three sitting arm weight training exercises, then my head exercises. So, I got everything done again, though again, it was late. {Smile}
I shared yesterday's daily update - and the day before's update, too, on my blog, since I discovered I'd forgotten to share it yesterday- in the morning. I also read comics and articles in the morning. After lunch and cleaning myself up, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I did some paperwork, and found Perogies getting ready for the later short, large-group event. I joined it too on one of the characters I'm working on developing. Then we got together. He was tired and wanted to watch a show on a new service he found, where we could both watch the shows with free accounts. I texted our former nurse to tell him about the website, since he watches far more shows than I do. He thanks me. Then Perogies picked a show he thought I'd like, and we watched it. It was okay, but I really prefer more adventurous shows,
After dinner, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and found Perogies still on. I noticed he was on the new character: He was trying to gain 5 levels so he could continue the story. That didn't sound quite right, so I looked it up. We only needed two levels to continue the story. He thanked me, since he was now at the right level. I tried to get a character with a mission I could use to talk to me, but he wouldn't. So, we picked a story arc we both needed that we were sure we could do and ran the first few missions until Perogies was tired enough to head to bed. He tried to tell me to continue without him, but I insisted I'd rather wait and continue together. Then I soloed some on the character I'd run the early short, large-group event on until I got an item I wanted, before starting my exercises. I tried to concentrate on writing this up after that, but comics, one video, and checking things on City of Heroes: Homecoming all distracted me. {Smile}
