I have started having odd problems... last night I turned my computer off early because I misread the clock. When I turned my computer back on, Discord, my chat server, wouldn't load properly until I turned my computer off and back on. Then today, it was one of the comic hosting sites I read that wouldn't load until I turned my computer off and back on. Does anyone know what this might mean? I had some trouble with disconnecting from the internet before that; I have no idea if that's related. {small smile}
I got some mail taken care of after breakfast. It was good to get it out of the way. {Smile}
I also rescued a baby lizard after dinner, catching it in a container, and taking it outside, where hopefully it will find more to eat. It was awfully thin. {Smile}
I got a phone call from our former nurse in the evening, too. It was great hearing from him and getting to chat a while. I thought I'd been having a good day, but that phone call really brightened it. {Smile}
I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. First, I read scripture and thoughts about it. Then I continued with a Christmas letter from niece, and a Valentine's Day card from me. Then I continued with the next several pages in The Calming Cat Book, describing each cat in the picture. Then I read from _365 Bedtime Stories and Rhymes_. I read her the first story, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and a few short poems that followed it. I finished with the August 19th story, "Billy's Picture," from _366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year_. Billy came home from school with the assignment to draw a picture for a competition. His mother explained that a competition is where each person tries to do something better than the others, and that sometimes there's a prize. Billy then drew his picture, which the story describes in some detail. The next week, he came home with a set of paints, because he'd won first prize. {Smile}
I did my arm resistance exercises, arm swinging exercises, and walking exercises after dinner. I did my leg exercises and standing arm weight training exercises after the evening task force. I did my salsa dancing at its usual late time, after the day has cooled off so I'm less likely to overheat. I did a warmup set, then after a break, a less structured set. I'm still so relieved and happy that's all I need! I did one sitting arm weight training exercise before my salsa dancing, and the rest after the salsa dancing, followed by my head exercises. So, I did get everything done again. {SMILE}
I read comics and articles in the morning, then hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming around lunch time. I started with paperwork and got somewhat caught up there. Along the way, Perogies said hi, and we chatted while we both caught up on paperwork. then he wanted to do the early long, large-group event, so we both joined it. Partway through, Kitten came in, and joined it, too. We three got together afterwards and started a player-created story arc Perogies picked out. Ulty joined us for a couple of missions not long after we started, but she had to leave again. Perogies, Kitten, and I continued on until maybe half an hour before I usually read to Mom. Then Perogies left, excusing themselves because they were tired, but promising to save the arc to continue later. Kitten was tired and left, too, so I worked on the paperwork that arc had made, finishing it about when it was time to read to Mom, so that worked out pretty well. {Smile}
After dinner, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and found Ulty on. We chatted a bit, but she was busy in a private roleplay with her new role-playing partner. So, I worked on my exercises, then paused to feed Val. When I came back, I found an invitation to a task force from an acquaintance. It was a little old, but they were still recruiting, so I joined. They started not long after, not quite full, but full enough we had no trouble. (Smaller teams occasionally have trouble with final bosses.) Ulty got out before we were done, and we chatted until she left for bed. The task force finished a while later, then I did some of the paperwork it made, and got back to my exercises, chatted with our nurse, and did my salsa dance. I wrote this up druning breaks, and afterwards, too. {Smile}
