Daily Update, July 17, 2024

    Late Wednesday afternoon, I got a web-phone call from Pierogies warning me he'd lost internet to a big storm, and asking me to pass it on to Kitten, and maybe Dennis, too. I remembered much later to tell Kitten, but I did tell them when I remembered. {Smile}

   I walked out to get the mail and found - as Amazon promised - a second corset of the type that my doctor recommended. Unfortunately, neither included washing instructions, so we just have to hope it likes whatever the nurse does to it. 

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was awake when I went in and stayed awake and interested in all the pictures, especially the baby pictures. I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Next, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. After that, I finished _Calm Babies Picture Book_, which shows peaceful babies with short phrases for captions, which I read, along with giving a partial description of each baby. Then I read a story and two poems from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished with the 17th of July's story, "the Brave Crab," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   Between reading to Mom and dinner, I walked out to the mailbox and back. Then after playing on City of Heroes: Homecoming, I did my arm swinging exercises followed by my salsa dancing warmup. After a not-too long break, I did my less structured salsa dancing set for not quite 21 minutes of salsa dancing. After a short break, I did my walking exercises, all 14 with just a tiny break between the first eight and the last six. It left me tired, so I hope it compensated for the lack of other exercises. {Smile}

   After breakfast, I played Cross Stitch World and read articles until I wrote up Tuesday's daily update. After lunch, I read more articles, and also read comics and played Cross Stitch World. Then I did online shopping, finding something I've been searching for for days. Then I cleaned myself up before hopping into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I started on paperwork, then joined Jenny's player in a story arc she was doing with friends. Dennis joined us near the end. Then the team broke up. Dennis and I squeezed in another mission before I left to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner I played Cross Stitch World and read articles before hopping into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I chatted with Jenny, then started a new, complex kind of paperwork. Then I chatted with Direct X. After that, I played by myself, first hunting, then doing a series of talk-missions. Then I did more paperwork. Next came salsa dancing. Then I wrote in this and watched videos before more salsa dancing. Then more videos before my other exercise. After that, I made notes in this and chatted with Kitten on chat server. {Smile}
