I got a bunch of mail sorted before lunch. It had piled up while I waited for supplies, which arrived recently. It felt good to get them out of the way. {Smile}
I started checking out stories on the main site that Paradox recommended and found one I liked as a comic on a site I'm becoming less comfortable using. I looked for more form that site, or stories linked to comics on both that site and the totally comic site but found little. Still, I have two authors to check out, and when I've figured them out, hopefully the site will start making better recommendations to help me find more. Part of me wishes it was easier to pay for stuff there, but I really appreciate not having to pay for something I won't really own. You can resell a bound book, but not an eBook... unless you made a hard copy of an eBook and bound that, like I did a couple of times. Then you really aren't supposed to sell the hardcopy. Somehow, I'm more comfortable buying books I could sell to a used bookshop if I wanted to. {Smile}
I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. Her eyes were mostly open today, and she talked a few times, mainly to answer that yes, she was enjoying what I read. I started with scripture and thoughts about it first. After that, I continued with a Christmas card from her sister's friend. Then I read the next few pages from _1960's Memory Lane_. Next, I read some poems from _365 Bedtime Stories and Rhymes_, including a longer poem that I ended with. I finished with the 18th of November's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "The Fire Chief." Sebastian had been given a big, shiny toy fire engine, with a key to make it go, extending ladders, and a hose that really worked. Sebastian was the Chief Fire Officer, called out to fight fires in every room of the house over the afternoon. he rushed into the kitchen to put out another raging fire. Mummy asked if he could take time off for tea. He did but kept the fire engine close by -- just in case. {Smile}
I did my walking exercises, leg exercises, and standing arm weight training exercises after I finished teaming in City of Heroes: Homecoming for the night. Then I did my salsa dancing warmup set. After a break, I did one of the pieces for my less structured salsa dancing set. Then I took a break without really meaning to. When I realized what I did, I did another piece of less structured salsa dancing. So, I did get the usual amount done, just with an extra break. Next, I did my arm resistance exercises, my arm swinging exercises, my head exercises, and one of my sitting arm weight training exercises. My shoulder started intermittent aching just before, so I only tried the exercise that uses the shoulder the least. I don't think it made it worse, but I thought I'd better stop there. {smile}
I read comics in the morning, as well as checking out that site like I said earlier. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming a while after lunch. There, I chatted with Pierogies and started working on paperwork. He was busy, so I found a character who needed some work on badges. I got a couple and set to work collecting more, including two that contributed to a badge that improves the character. When Perogies finished what he was doing, I asked for help getting more for the badge that helps the character. We got one by doing a particular mission. Then Paradox joined us on a new character, and we got another badge, and made progress on the last badge needed for that. That took us up to time to read to Mom. {Smile}
After dinner, I started writing this up. I also read a bit more of the web novel Paradox got me into. Then I got into the game, and let Paradox know I was going in. They came in, and we teamed up for a while before left again. I tried to find folks to team with, but it was a quiet night. I finally advertised, and got invited to a group that a fellow whose advertisement had inspired me to try was in. The leader disconnected, but we tried to run a mission of mine. Then Azurette invited me to a task force. The other fellow liked that idea, so we stopped my mission, and both joined. We actually ran a related task force, rather than the one Azurette mentioned. I also began talking to Nox on the chat server. I think the rest of the group who ran the task force ran the other one Azurette mentioned just after, but it ended right when I needed to start my exercises, so I ducked out. I talked a bit with Paradox and Kitten on the chat server, too, around my exercises and salsa dancing, as well as continuing to talk with Nox. After Nox left, I read more of the web novel. I really like it. {Smile}
