Daily Update, March 3, 2024

    On Sunday Morning, I got a phone call from Melanie, my former voice teacher. She was going to church and offered to pick me up. unfortunately, she meant right then, and I hadn't even begun breakfast, so I had to decline. I'm not one of those people who can skip a meal without making myself all too sick. {rueful smile}

   After breakfast, I contacted Uber, and they came and took me to church. I did see Melanie in the congregation, but she left before I got to say hi, never mind talk. Well, maybe next time. {smile}

   I had lunch with Auntie Barbara, who took me home afterwards. She came in to visit with Mom, who was slow to start singing. it took a few tries to get her going, but when she finally started, we got her sing a few songs. {Smile}

   I ate with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was awake, and she looked at the pictures, though she didn't say much. First, I started with scripture and thoughts about it. Then, I read and showed the pictures with cards from her cousin, her niece, and me. After that, I continued _Cats on Quilts_. Next, I read a story in _Five-Minute Stories: Over 50 Tales and Fables_, "The Nightingale." She said she liked that one, which was a relief, especially after she wasn't happy with yesterday's story in that book. Lastly, I finished with the 3rd of March's poem from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "Five Little Pigs."  {Smile}

   While waiting for Uber before church, I did my head exercises and my arm swinging exercises. Then I did my arm resistance exercises and my standing arm weight training exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. then i did my sitting arm weight training exercises and my leg exercises after I was done with City of Heroes: Homecoming for the evening. No, I couldn't add the walking exercises yet, but I did add more reps to many of the leg exercises. {Smile}

   I did some Cross Stich World after Auntie Barbara left, to unwind, then wrote up the day before's daily update. Next, I cleaned myself up, then did a little more Cross Stitch World before I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I saw Pierogies and said hi. We ran two individual missions. Then we switched characters to try a new combination. It looked promising, but we ran out of time before we got it working well. So, we said goodnight, and I went to read to Mom. {Smile}

   I started writing this up as well as slipped in two exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then I wrote more after dinner and played some Cross Stitch World before I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Dark doing a mission on the same character he roleplayed the previous night. I got the same character I'd used the previous night, and we did some mission-roleplaying for most of the evening. I also chatted briefly with Nox on the chat world before saying goodnight. Then I teamed up with Dr. Faustus for a couple of spring missions, since they're still going. I also read comics, did some paperwork on City of heroes: Homecoming, did a couple more exercises, and made notes for this before bed. {Smile}
