Daily Update, May 29, 2024

    On Wednesday, Auntie Barbara came with Michelle to visit in the morning. Auntie Barbara came inside to visit with Mom. It took a fair bit of coaxing, but when we were almost ready to go out, Mom agreed to sing, and sang six of the seven songs we usually sing with her. {Smile}

   Then we went outside, and Auntie Barbara and I sat in the carport, where we chatted and enjoyed the day. Michelle was checking out our lemon tress the whole time, I think. She said hi near the end of the visit. 

   After lunch, I contacted Uber, and they took me down to my dentist appointment. I arrived slightly early, and they were quite happy that I on time. We got three fillings done. One tooth needs a crown, but I don't mind waiting until the other teeth are ready for crowns too. then I contacted Uber, and a fellow came and took me back home. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was resting when I came in, but opened her eyes and looked at things when I had stuff to show her. She did respond at times.  I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Next, I read a Mother's Day card from one sister, and an Easter card from her other sister. Then I read two Christmas cards, one from her cousin's granddaughter, and the other from a friend. Then I read a few more pages from _1940s Fashion in Pictures_. After that, I read "Home, Scream Home," from _5-minute Disney Junior Stories_. I finished with the 29th of May's story, "The Woodpecker," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did two of my leg exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Later, I felt too tired. I think getting three fillings in one day took something out of me. {rueful smile}

   After breakfast, I read comics and played Cross stitch World before Auntie Barbara came. After she left, I wrote up Tuesday's daily update, writing right into lunch to get it done before the dentist. Then I read a comic or two to fill the rest of the time before the dentist. After the dentist, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I found Dennis. We talked, then teamed up. His long-time friend joined us. They like to use voice chat on the chat server I use during play. I can, too, so Dennis and I made the connections needed to make it work. It was neat, even if we all laughed at how I sounded with my mouth still numb from the dentist. We agreed we'd have to do this again. This took us up to time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I began writing this up. Then I checked City of Heroes: Homecoming. I chatted with Ulty, who was just finishing up for the evening. I also talked with Kitten, who was farming tiredly.  We decided I should clean myself up first, since I really wanted to get that done. Then I went back, joined Kitten and their friend, who was sitting in their farm. Another friend joined, and I asked about "running content, meaning playing missions and such in the game. I got my character who is just starting the end game, and we ran his first story arc. I tried to talk to Nox, but they were just leaving. The first friend of kitten left part way through. then, in the last mission, two more of their friends joined for the big reward at the end. Then all three others left, and I talked with kitten and did paperwork. I also wrote a little more of this and made lots of notes to write from the next day. {Smile}
