Daily Update, June 15, 2024

    After breakfast on Saturday, I got ready, then called Uber. A gal named Annie - so close to my Anne, we talked about this on the way - too me to church, where the priest had a birthday party for her baby, who turned one year old that day. I took nuts for the potluck. I sat with Auntie Barbara, talked with a couple of friends, and went home with Deb. {Smile}

   I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. Mom was sort of awake and sitting up when I went in. I had a long talk with our nurse before reading. When i did read, Mom was pretty good at looking at the pictures with minimal prompting. First, I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. Then I started her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2023. Next, I finished _Memories 1970's_. After that, I read two longer poems and six short poems from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished with the 15th of June's poem, "Tit for Tat," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, and showing her the next picture book that I picked to read, _the Picture Book of Kids and Animals_. {Smile}

I started my head exercises while waiting for Uber, but I only got two done before she came. I did the other three while beginning to write this up after supper. Then I did my salsa dancing warmup late in the evening. I was too tired after cleaning up to do more, unfortunately. {smile}

   After breakfast, I barely checked things online before getting to go to the birthday party. After the party, I had a long talk with our nurse. Both he and our nursing company are coming to realize that Mom's not the only patient here who needs care. Then I played a little Cross Stitch World. Next was a long, frustrating talk with some acquaintance online while trying to write up yesterday's daily update. At the end, I got in a short talk with Dennis in City of Heroes: Homecoming while finishing my daily update, before reading to Mom. 

   After dinner, I shared yesterday's daily update and finished dealing with the person from the afternoon. Then I began writing this up. Next, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming later than I hoped to. Ulty was still there, roleplaying with a few friends. She felt I could join, so I did. I roleplayed with them and chatted with Nox on the chat server until everyone else went to bed. Then I played Cross Stitch World. After that came the salsa dancing, followed by cleaning myself up. After that, I was too tired for more exercise, so I soloed a hunt on City of Heroes: Homecoming, finally getting to play the game a little. I finished with making notes to finish this from the next day. {Smile}
