Today I stayed home. I did call my financial adviser twice, but both times I got office staff who told me she was in a meeting but would call me back. The second said if not today, she'd call me tomorrow. So, I guess I wait. {smile}
The housekeeper came today, too, with apologies because the text she'd tried to send me last night hadn't gone through. Things worked out fine, though, and the house is definitely better for her attentions. She'll be back next week. {Smile}
I had lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I started with scripture and thoughts about it, then continued with two cards from her sister. First was this year's birthday card from January. Next was the Mother's Day card that arrived yesterday. Next, I started _A Picture Book of Cute Kittens Vol. 1_. She did like the pictures of kittens and the occasional older kitty. Then I read "Lebron James Works to Boost the Black Vote," both from _100 Uplifting Short Stories for Seniors_. Then I finished with the May 18th story from _366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year_. Mom said she liked what I read to her today, and the pictures, too. {Smile}
Nox very gently suggested that I seem to be stuck at doing only 20 minutes of salsa dancing and a little of my other exercises, and that maybe I should work harder at doing more. So tonight, I started doing my head, arm training, and arm swinging exercises during lulls while playing City of Heroes after dinner and managed to get them all done. Then, I did some salsa... only a bit over 20 minutes still. I tried to start more but somehow; I just wasn't in time with the music. So, I did my walking exercises instead. I was still 10 minutes short on the salsa dancing, but at least I got all my other exercises done. {Smile}
I read comics in the morning and hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming after lunch. there, I found Perogies on, and eager to join the early long, large group event, which was in progress. So we did. Then Kitten came on right about the time we finished, and the three of us teamed up. We ran the next, slightly higher story arc in the bunch we've been doing for badges. That, mixed with watching videos each to her shared, ran us close to time to read to Mom. Through much of the afternoon, Nox told me about a game they're playing now, both the game in general, and the particular one they're starting. {Smile}
After dinner, I hopped back into City of Heroes: homecoming, and was surprised to find Perogies still on. Kitten came back on very shortly, too, so the three of us teamed up. While we were deciding what to do, Darkthough1 and Mistress Aegis came on, too. Darkthough1 joined us, and I suggested running a task force with just us. Mistress Aegis joined us, too, for a group of five. We took it more slowly than the "Pick Up Groups" usually do, waiting for everyone to reach the door and such, so it took most of the evening, but we all enjoyed it. We did move fast enough to keep Kitten awake. Then Perogies left, and Kitten, Darkthough1, Mistress Aegis and I chatted a bit, then ran one of... I think it was Mistress Aegis's mission, though it might have been Darkthough1's. I chatted with Kitten a bit between salsa sets, and looked at some videos in between, too. {Smile}
