Daily Update June 16, 2024

    On Sunday, after breakfast, I contacted Uber. A guy came and took me to church. The service was nice, though small. I think a lot of the people who came to the party on Saturday felt that coming back the next day for church was a bit much, including Auntie Barbara. That said, we ate very well, with all the leftovers from the party, and at least one new thing besides. Afterwards, I didn't find a ride to take me home, between folks not coming and folks staying for the vestry meeting. So, I contacted Uber, and a fellow took me home. This is only the second time since I stared going to church weekly after Dad died that I've had to take Uber home, which is pretty amazing, if you ask me. {Smile} 

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was awake and sitting up when I went in. Mom was good at looking at the pictures with minimal prompting today. I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. After that, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2023. Then I started _The Picture Book of Kids and Animals_. Next, I read "The Velveteen Rabbit" from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. It was 4 four pages, which makes it long for that book, though much shorter than the original version. I finished with the 16th of June's story, "Ian Goes Fishing," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my head exercises and four of my arm-swinging exercises waiting for Uber to come get me and take me to church. Then I did the other eight arm swinging exercises after I got home. Between reading to Mom and dinner, I did my arm resistance exercises and both of my arm weight training exercises, since the wait was unusually long because the nurse had to fix up Mom first. The arm weight training exercises are slow, so I usually can't fit that many in. After dinner, I did one of my sitting arm weight training exercises. After I was done playing, I did my salsa dancing warmup set. Then, after cleaning myself up, I did my less structured set. This adds up to one more arm weight training exercise than I have done recently, but only one. {Smile}

   After church I played Cross Stitch World and read articles. Then I wrote up yesterday's daily update. Next, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and did some paperwork. Then I found Pierogies. We chatted, then teamed up and ran several missions together. Then we chatted a little more before I left to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner and a little exercise, I read comics. then I started to write this up. After that, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I said hi to a friend I rarely talk with, but they were just leaving, so we mainly said goodnight. Then I said goodnight to Nox, having missed a chance to talk with them, too. I did a bit of paperwork, and a few hunts one of my characters picked up recently, including some she picked up as others got completed. Then came a little Cross Stitch World, followed by my salsa dancing warmup. After that I cleaned myself up and did my less structured salsa dancing set. Some more Cross Stitch World followed. I ended with writing a little of this and making notes to write from for the next day. {Smile}
