Today, I took the envelopes I finished Saturday, and put it in the mailbox before breakfast. Thankfully, I checked after breakfast, discovered I hadn't put the flag up, and put it up, I hope before the letter carrier got here. {Smile}
I also finished yesterday's update after breakfast. {Smile}While getting ready to clean myself up, I realized our toilet really is leaking. I kept hoping it was simpler, like a leaky bottle next to the toilet, but it wasn't. Before lunch, I called a plumber I know who lives just down the street. He said give him 15 minutes, and he came right up. With two trips out, he fixed it up in a couple of hours or so. {Smile}
The fact that I know how to mend books came up, and he asked if I do that now. I certainly can. He has a friend who might call me. I think maybe I need to get that professional license again. Yes, if any of you know anyone who needs a book mended, I can do that. {Smile}
I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Her eyes were mostly open today, but she did only spoke a few times. First, I started with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I read Christmas cards from a friend and her sister. After that, I read some pages from _1960's Memory Lane_. Then I read some poems from _365 Bedtime Stories and Rhymes_. Two I know as songs, so after reading the first I sang it, and I sang the second, too. The last I know as a finger game, so I did that for Mom. I hope she liked the songs and game. She seemed to watch the game. Anyway, I finished with the 20th of November's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "Granny Florence." The narrator tells of an old woman, Granny Florence, who lives at the end of the lane with her white cat, Minerva. They tell how they do chores for her when the weather gets cold, like shopping and tidying the garden. then she invites them in for sweets or chocolates, roast chestnuts, and stories about her childhood over 60 years before. {Smile}
I did my walking exercises, leg exercises, and arm resistance exercises after teaming for the evening. Then I did my salsa dancing warmup set. Ater a break, I did my less structured salsa dancing set. Then after another break, I did my arm swinging exercises. I do need to contact my doctor. Something doesn't feel right. That's why I didn't do my arm weight training exercises. I meant to do my head exercises, but it got too late. {small smile}
I read articles and comics through the morning and early afternoon, right until the plumber left, because I wanted to be free to drop stuff for him while he was here. Only then did I hop into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I talked with Ulty, who seemed busy, and Kitten, who went quiet just after saying they were tired. So, I badge hunted, eventually joining a high-level trial on the gal I want to become my sixth best badge collector. Technically she passed the gal who had held that title that day, in part due to the six badges she got from that trial, but not firmly enough that I'm comfortable calling her that. If I hunted badges on the other again, she could easily pass this one, so right now, they're both part of the pack behind them again. Anyway, partway through the trial, Perogies spoke up. I explained I was in a high-level trial. After the trial, I joined Perogies and an unresponsive Kitten in a "farm," where we can get game-money and experience relatively easily. Perogies and I chatted a fair bit about our day, around other stuff. Then Perogies wanted to join the later short, large-group event, so he and I did. Kitten woke up and came back while we were there - yes, they were sleeping after a difficult weekend. When we were done, I suggested slipping in an individual mission before we broke up. It just about fit the time before I like to read to Mom. {Smile}
After dinner, I started writing this up, and read a web novel a bit, too. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and found Kitten eager to team up with me. Kitten and I ran a few of my missions. I also started chatting with Radio's boyfriend on the chat world. Then Nox and Radio joined us, since we were using the group conversation. We chatted through much of the evening, as did Paradox and Kitten in our group conversation with Owl Girl. Back in City of Heroes: Homecoming, Gargle Ripper, one of the friends I've recently connected with more, said hi, and asked to join us. So, I added them, and they ran a few missions with us before leaving for the night. Kitten and I continued to run missions until it was time for me to start my exercises. I continued chatting with Nox, Radio, and Radio's boyfriend until they left for the evening. I chatted with Paradox and Kitten, too. Then Owl girl came into our group conversation, and we talked, along with Kitten, and a bit with Paradox. {Smile}
