Daily Update, February 17, 2024

   Saturday, I stayed home and took things easy mostly. I did fiddle with Ko-Fi a bit after dinner, trying to set it up before I start and attach a more serious blog than the notes that hold my daily updates these days. I fiddled with it some more between and after salsa dancing and exercises. {Smile}

   I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. She was awake and looked at all the pictures and listened to the stories today. First, I started with scripture and thoughts about it. After that, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. Then I continued 1950's Fashion in Pictures_. Next, I read the next story in _Richard Scarry's 5-minute Stories_, "Sergeant Murphy and the Banana Thief." At last, I finished with the 17th of February's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "The Wild Goose." Every year, wild geese flew over Sally's house when they migrated to warmer places for the winter. She heard them honking one day while she was playing in the garden. She looked up, as saw one goose was behind the rest, flying slower and closer to the ground. It landed in the garden, all worn out. She took it inside to feed and care for it all winter. In the spring, when it heard a flock overheard, it flew off with them. Sally was glad it was back with its friends. {Smile}

   After teaming for the evening, I did my salsa dancing warm-up, followed by my arm swinging exercises and a rest. Then I did my less structured salsa dancing, my arm resistance exercises, and another rest. Then I did my head exercises. I was low on time, especially since tomorrow is church, and they're starting an hour early. {smile}

   In the morning, I read articles, watched videos, and played with cross Stich World. I wrote yesterday's update around lunch time. Then I cleaned myself up before hopping into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I found Dark, Pierogies and Kitten online, and said hi to all three. Dark responded first, and explained he'd been entirely too busy with work and too tired from work to come on during the week or even on Friday. Pierogies said hi and we chatted, too. Kitten said they were helping a friend level and should be free after that. Dark and I teamed up, and Pierogis soon joined us. We ran some stuff Dark had, and Kitten joined us part way through. Pierogies and Kitten left when the story arc ended. Dark and I ran one mission I had before I broke to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I began writing this up, then did the fiddling with Ko-Fi. I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming to find Dark and Kitten were still there. I said hi to both. Dark and I got together and ran a story arc he was starting. Kitten joined us, and Pierogies might have too, for a while. I also chatted with Nox a bit. After Pierogies left, Dark, Kitten, and I ran stuff until Dr. Faustus said hi and joined us. Dark left next. Then Kitten, Dr. Faustus, and I did a couple more missions before breaking up so I could do my dancing and exercises. I read articles and comics, and fiddled with Ko-FI some more before finishing this with a bit of writing and mostly notes to write from the next day. {Smile}
