Daily Update, May 23, 2024

    I called the nursing company's secretary after lunch, and we had a good talk. We cleared up some things I was concerned about. {Smile}

   I tried to call Auntie Barbara after dinner but left a message when I got her answering machine. Then we texted a bit. At first, I waited for her to call back, but I ended up arranging to talk the next day, so I could go clean myself up already. {smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was resting when I got there, but kind of roused when I spoke to her, and stayed kind of awake through the reading, looking the pictures, and sometimes responding. I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I read three cards: a Thanksgiving card from one sister, and birthday cards from her other sister and her cousin. After that, I read the next few pages from _Picture Book Babies_. A few of the babies were dressed warmly, with hoods and furry linings. Next, I read "Going Batty," continuing _5-minute Disney Junior Stories_. I finished with the 23rd of May's "Lonely Harlequin," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

 I did my walking exercises when tired of badge collecting, with a couple of short breaks in there. Much later, I did my head exercises, my arm swinging exercises, my arm resistance exercises, and my leg exercises. Then I needed a rest. Not bad for the day after physical therapy, though I'd have liked to do my standing and sitting arm resistance exercises, too. {Smile}

   After breakfast, I read articles, played Cross Stitch World. and read comics. then I finished writing Wednesday's daily update after lunch and the phone call with the nursing company's secretary. Then I played more Cros stitch World and read more comics before I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I found Pierogies happy to chat and team up. We ran two of our little heroes most of the way through a story arc. We ended too close to time to read to Mom to do the last part, since it is long, so we did a shorter mission of mine instead. {Smile}

   After dinner, I began writing this up before I tried to call Auntie Barbara. Then I played Cross Stitch World while I waited for her to call. Eventually I gave up and texting about talking the next day so I could clean myself up already. After that, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. Not finding anyone to talk to in the game at first, I started talking with Nox on the chat server. I eventually talked to Azurette a little, but she wasn't free in time to team up with before I was ready to start my exercises, so I badge hunted and played Cross Stitch World while chatting. I played more Cross Stitch World and did some City of Heroes paperwork in my long break in my exercises. Then I wrote a little of this and made notes to write from the next day. {Smile}
