Daily Update, June 28, 2024

    On Friday, I stayed home and relaxed after all the recent medical and dental stuff. I didn't even do much with the phone. {Smile} 

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was sitting quietly with her eyes closed when I went in today but opened them readily enough when I started talking. She only closed them much after the baby pictures.  She responded a few times, too. I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I read four cards: from the nursing company, church, and one from each of her sisters. After that, I continued reading _The Picture Book of Babies_, the one with a lot of costumes and a few multiple picture pages. Next, I read eight short poems and three long ones from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I would have read one more, but she was tired. So, I just finished with the 28th of June's story, "Balouka's Trip," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my arm resistance exercises and my arm swinging exercises after dinner. Then I did my arm weight training exercises after I was done playing City of Heroes for the evening. I did the standing ones and one of the sitting ones first, then the other three sitting ones after a break. Next, I did my head exercises without a break between them and the later arm weight training exercises. 

   After breakfast, I read web fiction and played Cross Stitch World. Then I wrote up Thursday's daily update before lunch. After lunch, I read comics and played Cross Stitch World. Then I cleaned myself up. I got into City of Heroes: Homecoming late again. There, I teamed up with Pierogies for a couple of missions on a low-level character. Dennis joined us for the last one before it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner and exercises, I began writing this up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I soloed on the same low-level character, doing a mission with a lot of reading and a bunch of talk-missions. Then Dennis came in and helped me with the last mission in the arc. Next, we switched to higher level characters, and I helped him with some of his missions. I also chatted to Nox on the chat server. I played with Dennis until he left for bed. After he left, I caught up on paperwork, then did a few exercises, with Cross Stitch World in between sets of exercises. Also, I wrote a little of this. Afterwards, I read web fiction and comics. Then I made notes in this, occasionally checking City of Heroes: Homecoming. {Smile}
