Daily Update, June 14, 2024

    On Friday, during my second salsa dancing set, I discovered my left hearing aid has a chugging engine noise. After dancing, I fiddled with it. That reduced but didn't fix it. I figured out a way to minimize it at the expense of less helpful noise. I may need to call hearing aid place on Monday. {sigh}

The nursing company secretary visited and called after lunch. We had a talk about assorted health problems I'm currently dealing with, including small infections, and the teeth that need root canals. {small smile}

   Our housekeeper came, and our house is definitely better for her attentions. {Smile}

   I called doctor about medicine that I think I'll need more of. They told to call again Monday, when we're more certain if it's needed. {smile}

   I ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. Mom was sort of awake and sitting up when i went in. She was okay about looking at the pictures with some prompting. First, I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I read two Christmas cards, one from each of two different cousins, and an Easter card from me. After that, I continued _Memories 1970's_. I read a story, two poems, and another story from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. That might have been a bit much for her today; I'll think about keeping things shorter for her. Anyway, I finished with the 14th of June's story, "Hungry Hedgehog," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my salsa dancing warmup, and my arm resistance exercises after I was done with City of Heroes for the evening. Then I did my less structured salsa dancing, my arm swinging exercises, and my head exercises before it got entirely too late. I'd feel guilty, but I backed up two or three times, so I got a little more salsa dancing than usual. {Smile}

   After breakfast, I played Cross Stitch World and read articles and comics. Then I wrote up my daily update after lunch. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I did paperwork, and started chatting with Dennis after a while. I joined him to see a new character's costumes. Then I remembered to check with Dr. Faustus about what the supergroup was doing, since they do stuff most Friday afternoons. They were doing a story arc. I joined them for a couple of missions they were doing. Afterwards, I rejoined Dennis for a couple of missions of his and one of mine before reading to Mom. 

   After dinner, I began writing this up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming again. I started with paperwork. Then I got invited to A taskforce. I accepted. then Dennis said hi. I tried to get him to join, but the character he chose was too low, and he didn't want to try another. I ran the task force, and chatted with Dennis, since he hung around despite talking about going to bed. The taskforce finished early enough I joined Dennis for a couple of missions before he went to bed. that involved turning down a second invitation from the group I'd done the taskforce with. Then I did paperwork before my salsa dancing warmup. Next, I cleaned myself up. Then, during my salsa dancing less structured set, I figured out the hearing aid noise. I finished the night by writing notes in this to write from the next day. {Smile}
