Daily Update, April 19, 2023

    Today I had physical therapy. I called Uber, and went over there, with a somewhat chatty driver. At physical therapy, I had a good session. I got tired slightly easier, but its been a week and a half since my last session. It was a good session. My physical therapist was very pleased with how the salsa steps are coming in particular. He wants to try them with music on Saturday. {Smile}

   He also liked my ideas for my story. He's a physical therapist, not any other kind, but he likes fantasy, and local stuff, so me working on trying to do a fantasy with strong local flavor is interesting. He also seems to know something about what fantastic creatures have actually made it over here. {Smile}

   After therapy was over, I called Uber, and a chattier driver took me home. That was nice. {Smile}

   I had a nice phone call with our former nurse later. I really enjoy talking with him. {Smile}

   I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I started with scripture and thoughts about it and continued with a long Christmas card from a friend. After that, I read the beginning of the introduction and the first two entries in People of Pern by Robin Wood. It's a collection of picture Robin Wood drew and painted of the characters in the earlier books and stories in Anne McCaffrey's Pern series. After that, I read the twelfth story from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_ It was "Chinese Woman helps 20 Families Find Mission Kids, then Finds Her Own." Then I finished with the April 19th story from 366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year. Mom liked everything I read to her, and looked at the pictures I showed her, too. {Smile}

   No exercise today, at least beyond physical therapy. I got plenty of exercise then. {Smile}

   In the morning, I read articles and finished writing my daily update before physical therapy, but I only shared it in the places where it's quick. because it was later than meant to start out. After lunch, I finished sharing my daily update, and read some comics. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and found Kitten, and soon my RWBY friend as well. We three chatted and teamed up. We did a few missions together, before my RWBY friend left, because he had an early morning the next day. Then Kitten and I ran a story arc together, which left just a little time to talk before reading to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Darkthough1 on, and discovered he was teamed with Mistress Aegis. Kitten was also on. The four of us teamed up and did several missions together. Then Darkthough1 and Mistress Aegis left because they needed sleep. Next, Kitten and I did another story arc. I also chatted a bit with Nox on the chat server, before they went to bed early. After the story arc, Kitten and I figured out how to watch a video together on the chat server. It was tricky because Kitten needed to share their screen with me. We watched a My Little Pony episode of the new series. Neither of us feel it's as nice as the just-previous series was, especially once it hit its stride, but it's early days yet. We'll have to see how it goes. {Smile}
