Daily Update, April 26, 2024

   On Friday, my story was coming slowly but surely. I wrote little bits here and there throughout the day. {Smile}

   I ate lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I got there earlier than sometimes. Mom was very tired but kept opening her eyes when prompted to look at the pictures, so I kept at it, and read a full session. I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. After that, I continued reading her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. Next, I read the back cover and the first few pages from _Music stars 1940-1960 Memory Lane_. then I read "the Frog Prince" from _Five Minute Fairy Tales_. I then moved the bookmark past "The Fir Tree," since that ends a bit too sadly to be easy for Mom to resolve.  I finished with the 26th of April's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "Eleanor's Trunk." {Smile}

   I did my arm resistance exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then I did 8 of my walking exercises after teaming and some paperwork, 7 of them a full 2 times down and back, and one 1 1/2 times down and back. After some more paperwork because I was tired, I did the other six I didn't need the intermediate one I did last night, nor did I need more than one railing. I did 5 of them a full 2 times down and back, and one 1 1/2 times down and back. After a shorter break, I did my arm swinging exercises and my head exercises. Later, I realized I was really too tired to do more, so I stopped there. {smile}

   Over and after breakfast, I read articles and played Cross Stitch World. Then I wrote up Thursday's daily update and wrote a little of the story. After lunch, more written, read Demon World Boba Shop and a comic, and did a bit of research before I cleaned myself up. Then I hopped into city of Heroes: Homecoming. Dr. Faustus called me to a meeting of the supergroup he got me into, which was getting ready to run content a lot higher than my character. He suggested I pretend my character polymorphed into one of my higher-level characters. So, I switched to a high-level character, and we ran it most of the way through, until we got stuck in a particularly tough battle. Then the group then fell apart, so I said hi to Pierogies and Kitten. Pierogies invited me to their team, and the base where Kitten was just beginning to learn to build a base. For a beginner they're coming along quite nicely. They were just finishing a set of portals to various parts of the game world. We chatted and did a bit of paperwork until it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner and exercise, I hopped back into the game, and started working on paperwork a character had. Then Dennis came and we chatted before teaming up. I introduced him to more of the end game, as we called the later parts that are significantly different than the earlier parts. We ran one story arc and started another. I also chatted with Nox on the chat server. After Dennis said goodnight, I did paperwork and my exercises. I also read some Demon World Boba Shop, did a little research, wrote a little of this, and made notes to write from the next day.
