Today I called my financial adviser. They offered to have her call me back, but she hasn't yet, and I didn't get through when I tried later. I'll have to try again. {smile}
I tried to research HMSA, to see if they cover the YMCA's exercises programs Either they don't, or I didn't find where they do for me, so I'm tempted to go down as ask at the office, most likely tomorrow. I have to pick up some D vitamin, too, and I think that can be the same stop, even. {Smile}
I ate dinner with Mom, and I read to her before that. She was more inclined to say she used to like things, but doesn't any more than she usually does... I guess we all have off days. I still started with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I continued with the next part of her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. Then I showed her the last few pages in _The Calming Cat Book_, describing the cat in each picture. That didn't take long, so I showed her the front and back covers of _1950s Memory Lane_, then read her the first couple of pages, with a section about Home in the 1950's, and showed her several pictures, reading the captions. Next, I read from _365 Bedtime Stories and Rhymes_. I read her a story, "The Butterfly Ballerina," about a girl who got a special part in her ballet school's number. Two poems followed, "Oranges and Lemons," and "Boys and Girls Come Out to Play." Then I finished with the August 21st story, "Cakes of Soap," from _366 Stories for Bedtime: A Tale for Every Day of the Year_. Rosie got to go to market with her granny in her granny's cart, and even got to bring her friend Kay along. Rosie and Kay enjoyed walking around the market, and even buying things with their pocket money. When they came back, they found cakes... that turned out to be soap when they bit into it. Granny got a laugh and offered them real cakes. {Smile}
I did my walking exercises, arm swinging exercises, arm resistance exercises, and head exercises while waiting for Freaky's second taskforce to fill. However, when I tried to do my salsa dancing, I found myself stumbling around, not quite steady. That's no good, so I stopped, and tried to treat my blood sugar, which had seemed unsteady earlier. I think it's better, but I think it's a good night to not do the salsa dancing or the legs exercises, both of which challenge my balance. Some other night will be better. I did do all my arm weight training exercises later, both standing and sitting, when I would have been done with my salsa dancing if I'd done it. {Smile}
I read articles when I wasn't calling or researching in the morning. then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming around lunch time. I worked on paperwork, and soon contacted Perogies. We joined the early short, large-group event, then the early long, large-group event together. Then he left, and I looked around for something to do. I chatted with Ulty while I soloed some stuff on my second-best badge-collector, getting progress on a couple of badges, and actually getting a third badge before it was time to read to Mom.
After dinner, I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I got two more badges on my second-best badge collector, and started talking with Azurette, who was telling me about changes she'd made to a base. Then Phonso invited me to a task force, adn I asked Azurette if she'd like to come to. She did, and we got the last two spots. We started taht task force pretty quickly, and ran it, with a pause at the beginning of the last mission. A fellow who'd already disconnected and come back once disconnected again. We waited, because we all know how frustrating it is to not be able to finish when you get this close, but he didn't come back, and we ended up finishing without him. I also said hi to Nox on the chat server, and we chatted a while. Then Phonso wanted to do a strike force after the taskforce. We got three others to join for a total of six, and decided to run it, because it was getting late, and six usually can do it. We did it without trouble, and with no disconnecting. Then Phonso left, as did the other three, and Azurette showed me her base and the changes. We also chatted more generally. We said goodnight after I discovered I couldn't do my salsa dancing tonight. Then I did some paperwork in City of Heroes, wrote this up, finished what exercises I was comfortable doing, and read some articles. {Smile}
