Daily Update, February 3, 2024

    Saturday, I called Auntie Barbara after dinner, and we had a nice talk. It was good to catch up with her. {Smile}

   I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. She was largely awake through most of the reading again. I began with scripture and thoughts about it from my phone first. I really look forward to picking up the paper copy tomorrow at church. After that, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. Then I continued _Girl's Day/Boys Day_, starting Boy's Day. Next, I continued reading _Richard Scarry's 5-minute Stories_ with "Pig Will, and Pig Won't." I finished with the 3rd of February's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "Greedy Gray Mouse." A gray mouse on a farm decided to see the world. He told his brothers and sisters he'd catch the train to town as he packed his suitcase. he hid in the farmer's truck to go to the station. Then he crept into the goods van. Soon he smelled cheese He spotted a big round one, and tore into the packaging, gorging on the cheese. Soon he felt sick, and just wanted to go home. He scurried back to the farm truck just in time, forgetting his suitcase, poor mouse. {Smile}

   I did my salsa dancing warmup after lunch. Then I did my salsa dancing less structured set after teaming for the evening. I also did my head exercises, but it was too late to do more. {rueful smile}

   I read a long article, watched a video and played Cross-Stitch World in the morning. Around lunch time, I learned that Kitten was particularly tired, Afterwards, I did my salsa dancing warmup before cleaning myself up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I said hi to Kitten, Pierogies, and Dr. Faustus. Dr. Faustus said he was busy. Pierogies and I started chatting. Then we teamed up and did a couple of long missions which finished the story arc we were working on. by then, he was tired and left for bed. Next, I looked around, and realized Dark was on. We chatted, and he finished a mission he was doing. Then we teamed up on the little characters we'd teamed on the day before and finished their story arc just in time for me to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I got back Into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Dark and Dr. Faustus and said hi to both. Dr. Faustus was busy, but Dark was available, so we teamed up. This time I picked higher ones to play. We stayed on them most of the evening, including when Dr. Faustus joined us for a few missions. Then he left, and almost came back, but got busy with someone else. I also chatted with Nox on the chat server. Eventually I switched characters for the last mission, getting us both some stuff those characters need more of. Then I said goodnight to Dark, did my salsa dancing and head exercises, and wrote this up, making notes to write from the next day for some.
