My hearing aids had an appointment today, so I called Uber, and a nice, chatty driver took me to take them in. I'm happy to say the audiologist put two new ear bud casings on, both in the old style I've used for years that have never gotten stuck, never gotten clogged with wax, and never collected old, dead skin, all of which the last pair of earbuds did.
Next, another call to Uber brought a different driver to take me to Longs Drugs. (Yes, Hawai'i still has Longs Drugs. When the company was bought out, that name was well enough known and liked in Hawai'i, and the new parent company was pretty much unknown, so they didn't change the name like they did elsewhere.) Finding the medicine took me longer than i expected, but not nearly as long as waiting in line did. {Smile}
I called uber again and had them take me to the veterinarian's office... to discover they were 20 minutes into their one-hour lunch break. I was not inclined to wait 40 minutes, and the Uber driver said he wouldn't either. He let me get back in the car and call Uber. They connected us again, which they aren't quite guaranteed to do - you cannot request a particular driver with Uber or Lyft - but since I was sitting in his car when i requested another ride, he thought it should select him, and it did. He took me home, with another nice talk on the way. {Smile}
I had a nice phone call from our former nurse after dinner, too. I do enjoy talking with him. {Smile}
Our relief nurse came in today, and will be here tomorrow, and leave on Wednesday. She usually works Thursday/Friday/Saturday, but she has personal business late this week that keeps her away. {Smile}
I ate lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I started with scripture and thoughts about it and continued with a long Christmas letter from a friend. After that, I read the next few pages of _Music stars 1940-1960 Memory Lane_. After that, I read the ninth story from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Mom seemed tired, so I went straight to the April 17th story from 366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year. Mom seemed to like it all. {Smile}
I did over 25 minutes of salsa dancing, including 8 1/2 minutes of warmup and over 25 minutes of less structured dancing. No, it wasn't the 30 minutes i hope to do, but the second piece in the middle was the extra fast one. I didn't really expect to have energy for even 5 more minutes, yet I did! So help me, I'm a little proud of this. {SMILE}
After lunch and cleaning up, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Div winding down. We had a nice chat, but he was done play8ing for the day. My RWBY friend came in, and we had a nice chat too. After Div left, my RWBY friend and I decided to read another two chapters of The Cursed Princess Club. That was a nice video phone call. Their cat even got involved. I got a very good view of his sides, head, and most especially the tail. The tail got waved at the camera for an extra special view. Amazingly enough, Val did not come to contribute. When we and the cat were done, we stayed on the line so we could talk while we played. That went pretty well, too, as we got a mission and two "talk" missions done before it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}
After dinner and the phone call with our former nurse, I hopped back into City of heroes: Homecoming, and worked on a little paperwork. Then I joined the pair of particularly high-level task forces on my third best badger. She didn't get the one badge she still needs this time, either, but if I keep trying, some day she should. Then I tried to join a not quite a high-level task force, but the leader didn't accept me because others met his requirements first. However, that task force broke up, and some gathered for another of the same taskforce. i got into that one easily. I was hoping it would help me with a couple of badges, and it did help, though I will have to run it at least once more. After that, I chatted with Nox and Kitten on the chat server, and I did a little paperwork, especially after Nox left for bed and Kitten quieted down. {Smile}
