Today, I stayed home, and took things easy. Only the yardman dropped by for his check. We did have a nice talk. {Smile}
I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She woke up for me and looked at all the pictures. She answered, but not often. First, I started with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I read more from this year's long family Christmas letter from her niece. After that, I continued _1940's Memory Lane, showing her the pictures, and reading the text and captions. Then I read more from _The Mother Goose Treasury_, reading some poems, and showing her the pictures, pointing out how they went with the poems. Lastly, I finished with the 13th of December's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "Marina's Find." Marian hadn't arrived at school yet, so the teacher said they'd have to start without her. That's when they heard someone scraping the snow off their boots outside the door. then there was a knock, and the teacher called out, "Come in, Marina!" The girl walked in holding something small in her scarf. Blushing, she apologized for being late, but said she couldn't leave the poor thing in the snow when he was half frozen. She had a small sparrow in her scarf. They made it a nest in the box by the radiator, and it was well by midday. {Smile}
I didn't do any exercise again, but I'm thinking if I stay this good, I'll try a little soon. {Smile}
I finished yesterday's daily update and shared it after breakfast. Then I read articles, and some comics, and played the cross-stitch game until after lunch. I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming too late for the early short, large group event, but in plenty of time for the early long, large group event. Pierogies and Kitten seemed to be ready to do that, so I joined, too. Then Kitten, Pierogies and I teamed up. I asked them to run the story arc that introduces the "end game" content with me. That's where the characters get a whole new approach to more powerful powers, at least in this game. We ran it together, and got it done with enough time to spare before reading to Mom for Pierogies and Kitten to start on resting, and me to do a short story arc that follows the one we'd just done, and is part solo, so easiest done alone. I got that done before I read to Mom. {Smile}
After dinner, I played some of the cross-stitch game. That made me distinctly too late to join the late-night short, large group event, so I started writing this up. When I was done, I looked around to see who was on, and tried talking to some. Mysty talked back, and we got together. We chatted a long time, and a friend of hers joined us. The three of us chatted some more. A lot of mainly visiting happened, in other words. {Smile} Then kitten came on, and I left to join them. I helped them get a badge that improves the character. Just as we were finishing up one character, Pierogies came in, and joined us for a second run for the same badge on a different character of Kitten's. Then I upgraded my character. I wanted to test it, so we joined something Kitten spotted, but it was too low-level for a good test. We still ran three missions, then ducked out, and ran one mission that was high enough to be a better test. After that, I left City of Heroes: Homecoming, but we continued talking on the chat server while I wrote this up, switching to notes to write from the next day. {Smile}
