Daily Update, May 7, 2024

    On Tuesday, I finally admitted to myself that I'm not quite well. I don't really feel sick, but this is the third day in a row I've seen mild to very mild symptoms of illness. I may have to reschedule physical therapy tomorrow; I'll see. 

   I looked into another website similar to Kofi but allowing folks to do things without signing up. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to respond to my attempts to start an account. You're supposed to submit an account name... it didn't accept it, nor did it acknowledge rejecting it, and it certainly didn't make alternative suggestions like most sites do. Then I checked out Patreon, and it did let me begin to sign up, but I didn't get very far, because I really need to figure it out first. {small smile}

   I ate lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I was just about at my usual time, which felt pretty good, considering how late I started my bath before it. Mom was awake and looking around, almost alert, even. She even said she enjoyed the readings and the pictures. First, I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. Then I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. Next, I read the first few pages from _the Picture Book of Kids and animals. Sure enough, she even perked up a bit for that one. I thought it was one of her favorites. After that, I read "Aladdin," from _5-minute Mary Engelbreit Fairy Tales_. I ended with the 7th of May's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "Moonlight." {Smile}

   I did my arm resistance exercises and my leg exercises after dinner. Then I did my walking exercises after teeming for the evening and took a break. Next came my salsa dancing warmup with another break. However, when I tried my less structured salsa dancing set, I wasn't far into the first place, when I backed into a chair and had to stop to regain my balance. I decided that discretion can be a good idea if it prevents injury, so, I quit. {small smile}

   After breakfast, I played Cross Stitch World Then I wrote up Monday's daily update before lunch, though two got shared later in the afternoon by accident. After lunch, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I found Div and Kitten. We chatted, then teamed up and did a couple of my missions. Then Div left, and Pierogies said hi and joined us. We did a couple more of my missions, along with three hunts I'd picked up and didn't finish on my own. Then I left to take my bath before reading to Mom. I'm pretty happy with how soon I finished that bath. {Smile}

   After dinner and some exercises, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I saw Kitten, Dennis, Dark, and Ulty, and said hi to each. Ulty was in another private role-play. Dennis was just leaving. Dark, Kitten, and I teamed up, with Dark and me on little villains. We ran about half of a story arc of mine before Dark left. Kitten had gone unresponsive, so, since we ended on a series of talks with various characters, I finished those on my own. Then Dennis came back, and we teamed up on higher level villains for one of his missions. Next, he left, and I did a little paperwork, and then worked on my exercises. I read comics and such in between and after the exercises and ended with writing this up and making notes in it, mixed with a little more paperwork. {Smile}
