Daily Update, March 13, 2024

    On Wednesday, I had physical therapy. I contacted Uber, and they picked Alan, who was only a minute away. I don't remember the last time I had a driver that close. We had a wonderful ride over catching up with each other, since it had been a while since I'd seen him. {Smile}

   Physical therapy went well. We started with the machine upstairs that I started each session with last year. Then we went downstairs to use the harness in the channel to challenge my balance. {Smile}

   When we were done, I contacted Uber. to my surprise, they got Alan again. He was father away, but it wasn't a long wait. We actually waited longer by an elementary (primary) school we go right past good old E.B. DeSilva. Ever since the pandemic, they've let out around noon on Wednesdays, so I get caught in the afterschool traffic jam. That gave us longer to talk, which was good. {Smile} 

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was awake when I got there. She seemed to enjoy looking at the pictures, especially the ones of the babies.  First, I started with scripture and thoughts about it. After that, I continued the long family Christmas letter from her niece from 2019. Next, I continued "The Happy Book: Babies."  Then, I read "Teh Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" in _Five-Minute Stories: Over 50 Tales and Fables_. I ended with the 13th of March's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "Off to the Moon." {Smile}

   I got plenty of exercise at physical therapy today. I was even tired afterwards. So, I don't think I'll even try to do more today, and I'll see how I feel tomorrow. {Smile}

   I finished Tuesday's daily update after breakfast, with just enough time to play a little Cross Stitch World before going down to therapy. After therapy, I read comics and played Cross Stitch World over lunch, and a bit afterwards. Then I hopped into City of Heroes Homecoming a bit earlier than recently. I found Michiel, and we teamed up We did one mission of mine - the first in a story arc - before he had to leave for dinner. Then Pierogies came on. We talked for a bit, then he joined me, and we did the next two missions in that story arc before he left, too tired to continue. It was almost time to read to Mom anyway, and he let me park in a farm with him while I read, so arranging that took the rest of the time. {Smile}

   After dinner, I came back to City of Heroes: Homecoming, and Pierogies' farm. I found Dark and we started talking. We were getting ready to team up when Pierogies came back. Dark ended up joining us. Pierogies showed Dark a few types of farms while talking about farming, which Dark is not that familiar with. then Phonso came in and asked what we were doing. He didn't feel like taskforces today. He really wanted to join us. So, we four talked about farming as we farmed a bit. I also said goodnight to Nox after they'd left for bed, apologizing for not talking again. Then Pierogies left, being tired, and Phonso left, probably being hungry, since he usually around the time that he left. Dark and I talked about writing a fair bit when we were alone, before we said goodnight... more than once, because he was slower leaving than he meant to be. We both really love talking about writing and stories together. Then I played some Cross Stitch World and read some comics. I ended with making notes to write this from the next day. {Smile}
