    My gastrointestinal upset calmed down enough in the night for me to get better sleep. That was a relief. {Smile}

   The next morning, I really didn't think going to church would be wise, between the need to leave the plumbing for the whole ride down, and the risk of passing whatever I have to other parishioners and the Uber driver, too. No, that wouldn't be good, so I stayed home, and watched the 10 am service online. Or listened to it. Despite getting what would normally be a good night's sleep, I just could not keep my eyes open. I missed the peace entirely, but I think I heard the lesson, gospel, and much of the sermon. I may have to watch it again later in the week. {Smile}

   I took a longer nap than I meant to after that, and before lunch, which meant Val's lunch was later than I like, and mine was later than is quite safe. I did feel my blood sugar go nuts before I settled in and started... but part of that was having to deal with one last, bad gastrointestinal problem. I really haven't had more since then, though my appetite is not good. Lunch took long, and I didn't get a lot of dinner down at all... Then again, I haven't been active, either. I couldn't bring myself to do even my head exercises today, never mind the rest or the salsa dancing. I just don't have that kind of energy yet. {Smile}

   I didn't read to Mom, either. Both our nurse and the nursing company are encouraging me to keep my distance until this illness is past. {smile}

   I read some articles over my long, late lunch, and hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming when I was done. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming and found Perogies pretty quick. He hoped to catch the later short, large-group event, but it appeared to be over. So, we caught the later long, large group event that follows. Yes, it can often be a bit boring, but not today. I was feeling tired enough, it was just about what I could handle. When we were done, Perogies wanted to hunt some critters. I found a character who didn't have as many as the game rewards you for and tagged along. I'd like to say I helped, but I think they carried me more than I carried them. We continued until they got tired and left for bed. {Smile}

   I read some articles and tried to read a comic that came recently over dinner, since our nurse thinks it's safer for Mom if I don't eat with her until I'm better. Then I looked around on City of Heroes: Homecoming and saw a task force starting up. We only got four members, but they ran it with that. I disconnected as we were starting the last battle, but I restarted my computer, and got back in time to get full credit for the task force. After that, I didn't see anything being advertised, not that looked al that long, so I did a mix of badge hunting, simple solo play, and catching up on comics which I read, since I somehow forgot to read them while I was sick. The Perogies came in and said hi, and we started to talk as I started to write this up. I'm really enjoying the talking, but it's time to share this at least in quick places and go to bed. {SMILE}
