Daily Update, July 28, 2024

    On Sunday, after breakfast, I contacted Uber. A fellow came and got me and took me to church. I got there during the announcements and sat with Auntie Barbara and Michelle through the service. It was a nice service. Then I sat with them during lunch, too. Then I went home with Auntie Barbara, Michelle, and a friend who lives near them who they'd brought to church, too. Because the friend was with them, Auntie Barbara didn't come inside. Instead, we talked about arranging a visit later in the week. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was awake when I went in. she looked at everything I showed her, especially the baby pictures. First, I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. After that, I finished _the Picture Book of Babies_ - that's the larger one with a lot of costumes, since we have two with that exact name. I showed her the pictures from the day she wasn't looking at much, and just continued until i peeked ahead, and discovered I was only a few pages to the end of the book, so I kept going. Next, I read a story and two poems, from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_, I ended by reading the 28th of July's story, "Peter's Night Out," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my head exercises and ten of my twelve arm swinging exercises while waiting for Uber to come take me to church. Then I did the other two arm swinging exercises and my arm resistance exercises after dinner. Late in the evening, I did my salsa dance warmup set, and after a break, my less structured salsa dancing with the shorter, especially fast piece for just about 20 minutes of salsa dancing. After another break, I did all my walking exercises. {Smile}

   When I got home, I peeked into City of Heroes to see who was there. Then I browsed a little on Amazon and played Cross Stitch World before I finished writing Saturday's update. Next, I cleaned myself up. Then I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming and found Pierogies. We talked a bit first. Then we teamed up and did two missions and hunt in the new story arc before it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner and exercise, I began writing this up. Then I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I spotted Dennis and said hi. We teamed up to do a few missions together. Then he left. I read articles and had a long talk with Nox. Then I started salsa dancing followed by exercises, with videos between the sets. then I wrote a little more in this and made notes in it too. I also checked some things I'd found earlier on Amazon, especially a textbook and workbook pair that look promising, if not perfect. They're on relationships, which are closer to dating than friendship, at least. I'm still looking for something about dating. {Smile}
