Daily Update, October 24, 2023

    In had a fairly quiet day Tuesday. No visitors came, or notable phone calls. I did call my doctor but got their answering machine. I did leave a message but didn't get a return call. I'm wondering about going down to talk to them. {resigned look}

   I ate dinner with Mom on Tuesday and read to her before that. She responded more than sometimes, but she had her eyes closed a lot. She often does these days. I read scripture and thoughts about it first. Next, I read some more from her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2022. Then I showed and read her the next few pages of _1950's Fashion in Pictures_. After that, I read her a few poems from 365 Bedtime Stories and Rhymes, including one I mistook for a story until I discovered the lines rhymed. Last, I finished with “Late for School,” the 24th of October's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. The children were running around in the playground when the teacher called them into class. The teacher called out their names in alphabetical order, but when she read Curly's name, there was no reply. On child said he was always late, and probably was playing in the woods. That's when Curly walked in with bare feet, and his hands behind his back. The teacher asked about his shoes, looking cross. Curly said he left them in the woods, but he brought her some flowers, and put them in a vase. The teacher smiled, and announced they'd start with a nature lesson. {Smile}

   Well, I did my walking exercises, arm resistance exercises, and one siting arm weight training exercise. Then I did my salsa dancing warmup. I tried to do the less structured set after a break, but after grabbing for furniture twice near the beginning of the first piece, I thought I'd better sit down and take it easy. I hope that a hard candy settled my blood sugar, but it's too late to try more now. {rueful look}

   So, I read comics, articles, and web novels int he morning and through lunch. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Kitten, Pierogies, and Div on, and started chatting with them. We tried to team up, but then Kitten announced that they were feeling pretty bad and left to try to treat that. So, I tried to team up with Pierogies and Div. Div said they were just about ready to leave but agreed to team for a bit. We actually got several missions done, and Euclidian joined us after a few. Then Div and Pierogies left at almost the same time, and Euclidean and I did a couple more missions before it was time to break to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I read a little bit of articles and a web novel, and let Kitten know when I was ready to hop into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I looked around for folks to team with... Mysty looked busy, and no one else was in the game, so I let Owl Girl and Paradox know I was in the game, and happy to team. paradox came in first, and Owl Girl joined us before we got going. Paradox wanted to do low-level characters. I found one. they both wanted to do my missions, so we ran a story arc I'd started. Kitten joined us partway through. Then we started the next story arc but didn't get all that far. Well, sometime in the future. Then we switched to chatting on the chat server, where I also chatted with Nox. that may be why I didn't get more exercises done. I also snuck in reading a bit more of the web novel and writing this up. I think it will get posted int he quick places only tonight. {Smile}
