Daily Update, June 29, 2024

    On Saturday, I stayed home and relaxed some more. Again, I didn't even phone folks. {Smile} 

   I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. She was sitting quietly with her eyes open when I went in today. She sometimes closed the, but mostly opened them with some encouragement, especially for the baby pictures.  She responded a few times, too. I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I read a long Christmas card from a friend. Next, I finished _The Picture Book of Babies_, the one with a lot of costumes and a few multiple picture pages. After that, I read four long poems from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I backed up and read some I'd read when she was sleepier. I finished with the 29th of June's story, "What Are Honey Mice?" from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. Well, almost finished. Because after that I showed her the front and back covers of Picture Book: Babies, which I plan to read to her next. {Smile}

   I did my arm resistance exercises and my head exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then I did my arm swinging exercises and my standing arm weight training exercises after I was done teaming in City of Heroes: Homecoming. After a break, I did my sitting arm weight training exercises. Then after a short break, I did my leg exercises. The leg exercises left me a little winded, so I felt they were a good place to stop, but I have gotten back to where I was right before my dentist removed my crowns. {Smile}

   After breakfast, I played a lot of Cross Stitch World, and read maybe an article or two and a little web fiction. Then I wrote up Friday's daily update before and during lunch. I read more web fiction after lunch, and played more Cross Stitch World, too. Then I cleaned myself up. I got into City of Heroes: Homecoming late. There, I chatted with Pierogies on and off while doing paperwork until he finished the later short, large-group event. When he was done, we teamed up, and did two or three missions on our villains. Dennis said hi, but was busy, and didn't join us. This took us up to time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I began writing this up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I said hi to Ulty and her friend and joined them and some other friends for some roleplaying. then Pierogies said hi, and wanted to play, so I excused myself. pierogies picked a high-level individual mission, which was just about right for him, because he went to bed comfortably tired afterwards. Then I went back to roleplaying with Ulty and friends. I also chatted with Nox on chat server. The roleplay broke up when Ulty went to bed. My new friend and I started with some of my missions on a low-level character. A friend of hers joined us who recognized my character. We did three old missions my character had that couldn't be quite my level but were still easy to boost to a nice level of difficulty.  She'll be ready to start with missions right at her level when she continues. After that, we stopped. I exercised, doing paperwork around the exercises and afterwards. Then I wrote this up, doing more paperwork intermittently, yet still got to bed slightly earlier than I have recently. That was good, since the next day's church. {Smile}
