Daily Update, June 7, 2024

    On Friday, the new resistance bands I ordered arrived. I tried them out that evening. {Smile}

   I've started a text discussion with one of my cousins on Dad's side about his mother's grave being unmarked. Some of the grandkids want to fix this, and I want to help. One already tried, but we'll need to keep at it. {Smile}

   I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. She was awake but resting when I came in. She enjoyed the pictures I showed her, and most of the stories and such I read her and responded sometimes. First, I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. Then I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2019. Next, I read the first few pages from _1940's Memory Lane_. After that, I read 3 short stories, continuing _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. "How the Kangaroo Got His Tail was the longest, but Mom might not have cared for it as much. I finished with the 7th of June's story, "The Grateful Elf," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my head exercises after dinner and starting to write this daily update up. Then I tried out the new resistance bands out and did my resistance exercises. Next, I did my arm swinging exercises. Then, after playing later than usual, I did my salsa dancing warmup. After a break, I did the first piece of my second set, and started the second piece. I had to quit after less than a minute, but I still got 15 1/2 minutes of salsa dancing in, which is an improvement. {Smile}

   After breakfast, I played Cross Stitch World and read articles. Then I started writing more of Thursday's daily update. That was interrupted by lunch with Mom, but I finished writing Thursday's daily update after lunch. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I did paperwork until Dennis said hi. We teamed up, and Pierogies joined us. We did one mission, and started another, but it was late enough, we stopped so I could read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner and my exercises, I checked City of Heroes: Homecoming. Then I began writing this up and making notes in it. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and started looking at paperwork. Then Dennis said hi, and we teamed up to do a mission that gave us each a badge that we wanted. We'd meant to do it earlier but got sidetracked. Then he left, and I cleaned myself up. I said goodnight to Nox on the chat server, since we'd missed each other again. Then I did paperwork - a fair bit of it - right up until Kitten said hi. We teamed up and did a couple of missions. Then we talked on the chat server afterwards, around my salsa dancing. Afterwards I watched a video. I ended with writing a little of this and making a lot of notes to write from the next day. {Smile}
