Daily Update, March 6, 2024

    I started physical therapy again Wednesday morning. this started by contacting Ube. they were several minutes away, so I called the public library's central number, and tried to ask what "valid proof of current mailing address was, since it looked like I was supposed to go to the circulation desk with that among other things to renew my library card. Except the person I was talking to said if I just needed it renewed, not replaced, they could do that over the phone. Uber arrived int eh middle of doing so and started to take me over. It was a driver I know, so we had a nice talk once the phone call was over. 

   Then I had a very quick time signing stuff to get the paperwork for starting this sorted, and a pleasant rest before physical therapy. They had me go downstairs. We talked about my balance and such and they had me do some exercises to challenge it. Roughly half the time I was in a... contraption. It looked like and may even have been a parachute harness, but it was attached to a channel in the ceiling, so it would catch me if I overbalanced, which I did because were definitely pushing the envelope of my balance's ability to keep me upright. When they were done, I contacted Uber, and they took me back home. There was no phone call on this trip. {Smile}

   Then Wednesday evening, I noticed the dining room light was out. I called the relief nurse, who came a day early this week, and she tried replacing it, but it still didn't turn on. I figured I'd have to find a repairman int he morning. {smile}

   I ate lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. The relief nurse is here a day early this week. Mom was awake and looked at the pictures with a little prompting. She didn't say much, but she doesn't have to. I began with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I read and showed the pictures with card from her cousin's granddaughter, her niece, and a friend. After that, I continued _Cats on Quilts_. Next, I read "Alladdin" in _Five-Minute Stories: Over 50 Tales and Fables_, skipping over "Peter and the Wolf" before it, and "the Flying Trunk after it, because I didn't think she'd like them as much with their less than happy endings. I finished with a story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, the 6th of March's story, "The Last Egg" {Smile}

   All my exercise was at physical therapy Wednesday, and not a one of my standard exercises was done in the normal way. {Smile}

   I played cross stitch world while waiting in the waiting room before physical therapy, and also after lunch. Then I checked out a library eBook I want to read and started reading it. Next, I finished Tuesday's daily update, then cleaned myself up. After that, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I found Pierogies. He was very much in the mood for the characters who have trouble teaming in many groups, and for a particular zone, so we got the characters and did those until he left. Then I did a little paperwork, said hi to Dr. Faustus, and left to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I started writing this up, then did more Cross Stitch World and read more of the library eBook. Only then did I hop into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I said hi to Rivka, who left shortly, and Azurette, who answered, but was busy, also to Pierogies, who was slow to respond, and to Dr. Faustus, who was busy at first. So, I started soloing. then Pierogies said hi and tried to join me. The zone I was in was having maintenance that prevented him from joining me, which is new. I finished a quick hunt and joined him in an open zone. We were still getting going when Dr. Faustus said he was free and joined us. Pierogies was getting tired, but we three did a mission. Then Pierogies left for bed, and Dr. Faustus and I did several more missions over the evening. I also talked to Nox on the chat server. Dr. Faustus and I eventually said goodnight. After that, I did paperwork, played Cross Stitch World, read more of the library eBook, and made notes to write this up from. {Smile}
