Daily Update, May 28, 2024

    Tuesday morning, I contacted Uber. A somewhat chatty fellow came and took me down to get my hearing aids checked. They're okay for now, but one may need a new rechargeable battery. We're keeping an eye on it. When we were done, I contacted Uber. It claimed they'd taken me to the credit union nearby. I told them it wasn't me, and they refunded my money. I hope they work out who that was, but I'm not sure how they could. I contacted them again, and this time, a quieter fellow came and took me home. {Smile}

   I tried calling my financial adviser. I go their answering machine and left a message on the first try. I got a secretary the third try, and asked for some free resources they offer, since ordering over the web hadn't produced them. {smile}

   I also got a phone call from dentist. They asked if I could come in the next day (Wednesday) to get the minor filling done. I was happy to make that appointment. {Smile}

   I got a phone call from Auntie Barbara after dinner. She wanted to visit Wednesday, too, with Michelle. I told her about the dentist, and she picked a time that wouldn't conflict with the dentist. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was resting when I came in, but opened her eyes and started looking at things when I had stuff to show her. After a while, she rested some more, but I do hope she enjoyed the pictures and readings. She did respond sometimes.  I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I read a long Christmas card from a friend. Next, I read a few more pages from _1940s Fashion in Pictures_. Then I read "Blooming Bows," from _5-minute Disney Junior Stories_. I finished with the 28th of May's poem, "Counting Rhyme," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my head exercises and most of my arm swinging exercises while waiting for Uber to come get me and take me to my hearing aid appointment. Then I did the rest of my arm swinging exercises and my arm resistance exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. After teaming with Dr. Faustus, I did my salsa dancing warmup. Then, after a break, I did my less structured salsa dancing set before it got too late. {Smile}

   I read articles and played Cross Stitch World after breakfast, before the trip to get my hearing aids checked. Then I wrote up Monday's daily update before and after lunch. Writing during lunch wasn't working, so I read comics during lunch, and afterwards, too. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Dennis, who said he's going to bed much earlier... so we'll have to team in my afternoon, not my evening. We teamed up, and did several missions, mostly on villains. Pierogies said hi but was catching an even later large-group event, so didn't join us. That took us up to time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I started writing this. Then I cleaned myself up before hopping into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I realized the anniversary event had just finished; I'd hoped to do a little more badge collecting in it, but that's usual at the end for me. I was deciding what to do when Dr. Faustus said hi. We teamed up for badge collecting, doing villain stuff, largely on villains, though my second-best badge collector did some posing to be one for a badge or two. I also chatted with Nox on the chat server for a while. The badge collecting ran late, but I still got in my salsa dancing, with videos between and after, along with reading one article. Then I made notes in this to write from the next day. {Smile}
