I called the veterinarian after breakfast, and actually got the office. I reminded them that our attempt to test his blood sugar failed, because it fell off. I also told them that symptoms of his diabetes had improved when we started him on insulin, but not as much as I could wish. They suggested bringing him in, and I agreed, expecting this. He's got an appointment for Wednesday after next. {Smile}
I called my financial adviser... and called again just before closing when she hadn't called. She sent me what she has on the budget I asked for and will send it again when she's finished it. Even preliminary numbers are helpful at this point. {Smile}
I ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I read scripture and thoughts about it first. After that, I read more from her niece's long family Christmas letter from last year. Next, I showed Mom more pictures in _1940's Fashion in Pictures_, reading her each caption as I pointed out that picture. She seemed to like it, pictures and all. Then I read several poems from _Mother Goose Treasury_, and all of those are illustrated. I finished with the August 11th story, "Peter's Fish," from _366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year_. Peter was a little boy who made himself a fishing pole He used to fish in the pond in the garden. He actually caught a fish he hoped to give his mother, but the fish looked so sad, he took the pin out of its mouth, threw it back, and picked some flowers for his mother instead. {Smile}
I did my arm resistance exercises, my walking exercises, my arm swinging exercises, my leg exercises, and both standing and sitting arm weight training exercises after playing in City of Heroes: Homecoming in the evening, with a couple of pauses because doing all the arm weight training in a row is tough. Maybe I should work on that, too. {Smile}
I read articles and comics in the morning and hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming after cleaning up after lunch. I looked around, and found no one, but I did find a Task force being advertised that contributed to a badge my fourth best badge collector is working on, so I ran it. I still didn't see anyone I like to talk to, but I realized it was almost time for the later long, large-group event, so I joined it on the same character. I enjoyed the event. I also got to talk with Perogies at the end, when they come in and said hi. {Smile}
After dinner, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Ulty, and we were just starting to figure out what we wanted to do when Perogies came back in and said hi. The three of us teamed up for missions with light role-playing, which I think we all enjoy. We did the last mission of one of my contacts, and a couple of missions from another contact before Ulty said she had to go to bed. Perogies thought it was a good time to go to bed too. I did bit of paperwork that had developed from our playing. Then I broke to do my exercises, followed by my salsa dancing. I said goodnight to Nox, who I'd forgotten to talk to earlier, during my break in my salsa dancing. After salsa dancing, I meant to write this up sooner, but got distracted by shopping for some stuff, and videos that caught my eye on YouTube while dancing. I'll get this shared in the quick places, but the slow will wait until tomorrow. {smile}
