Daily Update, April 2, 2024

I had all kinds of plans for working on my story and getting exercise done earlier. Instead, I spent most of the morning playing Cross Stitch World while thinking about that video I watched the previous night. There was a woman who posed as a man to learn about "life on the other side." When it came to dating, she expected to have a lot of fun, since she was attracted to women, and she expected more would be interested in her as a guy. But she met up with so much rejection from women she approached - and as a guy, she had to approach them; they wouldn't approach her. {pause} Its food for thought, which I have certainly been doing a lot of today. {smile}

I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was resting when I got there. She roused when I said hello, and looked at the pictures I showed her while reading. At the end, she said she'd liked what I read to her, with a little prompting from me. I began with scripture and thoughts about it first. Next, I read two cards, one from each of her sisters. Then I continued _Memories 1970's_. I thought I might go to the end, but it was longer than I thought. One more day, and back to the cat book. After that, I continued _Disney Princess 5-minute Princess Stories_ with "the Winter Journey," which was about Pocahontas. Lastly, I ended with the 2nd of April's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "Good Old Ceasar." {Smile}

I did my arm swinging exercises and my arm resistance exercises after dinner. Then I did 3 of my sitting arm weight training exercises after I finished teaming for the evening. Next, I did my salsa dancing warmup. I did my head exercises next, during the break between the salsa dancing warmup and the less structured salsa dancing set. I got just over 19 3/4ers minutes of salsa dancing, but it was the extra fast piece. I bet I got as many steps in as some of the longer pieces, just in less time. It's fast enough, it left me slightly winded. {Smile}

I finished Monday's daily update over lunch and read a few comics. Then I cleaned myself and hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming later than I like, but earlier than sometimes. I found Pierogies already in the later long, large-group event. He urged me to grab one of the three spots left, so I did. We both ran it and talked a while after that until it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}

After dinner, I did a couple of exercises and started writing this up. I also checked out City of Heroes: Homecoming. Misty didn't respond when I said hi, but Michiel chatted a bit. We didn't team up because he was just finishing up and leaving. Then I looked around. The April Fools raids were still going on, so I joined one after another. I paused mainly when they did, fitting in a little paperwork. I also said goodnight to Nox when they announced they were heading to bed. Yes, we missed talking again. I stopped a little earlier to do my exercises and dancing, but somehow didn't fit in the few more exercises I hoped for. I also watched videos and read comics, as well as writing more of this, and taking notes to write from the next day, too. {Smile}
