Thursday started with online counselling after breakfast. That went well, I think. We talked a lot, about stuff that felt productive somehow. {Smile}
I called my financial counselor. She was supposed to call me back, but didn't, so I tried again and got her. I shared a piece of information I learned last night that I've bene trying to get, and also sorted out some mail. Then I actually did that mail chore, finally getting it out of the way. {Smile}
I got a call from the nursing company, too, touching base and such. {Smile}
I ate lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I started with scripture and thoughts about it. Then I continued with a longish Christmas card from a friend. After that I showed Mom several more pictures in _Exploring Kittens_. I felt able to go longer today, since Mom seemed more awake today, though she wasn't saying as much as sometimes. Next, I read some poems from _Mother Goose Treasury_. I ended my reading with the August 3rd story, "The Timid Fawn," from _366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year_. A fawn's mother encouraged her to go take a walk by herself. She went with the blue tit when that bird volunteered to go with her. She met some rabbits, but they all dashed to safety when the badger said to. A wildcat was nearby, but the fawn's father, the stag, chased it off. {Smile}
I got my head exercises done really late - well after Perogies left again, when I was done with soloing, and starting to concentrate on writing this. But I just finished all my head exercises, which are all I need to do today. So, they are done. {Smile}
I read articles and comics after the counselling and the phone call with my financial adviser. Then I finished the day before's daily update over lunch. After that, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming after personal chores after everything else. I didn't find anyone, so I got into more comics. Then I came back to find bowlofdro trying to get me into the short, large-group event, and Perogies trying to talk. Oops. I really need to pay more attention to the game when I'm trying to find friends to hang out with. I joined Perogies in some villain missions, helping him complete the last mission of a story arc he had, then running most of the missions of a story arc I had. That took us up to time to read to Mom. {Smile}
I came back from dinner to find a note from Ulty apologizing for being busy. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming and soon found Div. I haven't heard or seen them since April! We talked for hours. A lot was them catching me up with all that's happened with them and talking a lot about their frustration with some base-builders who've set themselves up in City of Heroes: Homecoming as authorities on the subject. Michael, a friend on the chat server showed up after months of quiet, too, and we chatted on and off until I went offline for the night. I also talked with Nox on the chat server. While Div was moving towards leaving, Perogies showed up. I joined them in a farm when Div left, and we chatted, too. Nox left a little while into the farm. Perogies eventually left. Then I did a mix of badge collecting and writing this, followed by a mixture of taking notes for this and talking to Michael, with talking to Michael the last before I finally headed to bed, getting into it about as late as I can be without being too unhappy with myself. {Smile}
