Daily Update, July 9, 2024

    On Tuesday, things were pretty quiet. After some of my recent medical appointments, I'll take quiet happily. {Smile}

   I did wake up feeling more rested than I have been for at least a couple of days. Sleeping in the corset must have been more comfortable than sleeping without it. I'm so relived, because I have been tired. I would like more rest. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. I was pretty much on time for me. Shew as resting but roused when i spoke with her. She kept going back to resting but opened her eyes and looked at the pictures when prompted to, even when they didn't have babies in them. She particularly fond of the baby pictures. She answered me at times, too. I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2022. After that, I started _The Happy Book: Babies_. Next, I read four poems from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished off with the 8th of July's story, "The Circus Clown," and the 9th of July's Story, "The Enchanted Mill," both from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my head exercises between reading to Mom and dinner, and my arm swinging exercises and arm resistance exercises after dinner. then I did one of my standing arm weight training exercises during a lull in the role-playing. After I was done with City of Heroes: Homecoming, I did 13 1/2 of my fourteen walking exercises in two sets. I just could not do a second repetition of the last one. I was too tired, and it was too late to rest first. I think this is my best exercise day since the root canal and a half. {Smile}

   After breakfast I read articles and played Cross Stitch World until lunch. Then I played more Cross Stitch World before writing up my daily update. Then I played more Cross Stitch World and read some comics before I cleaned myself up. After that, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started chatting with Pierogies, who wanted to learn how to do a pair of high-level taskforces that are often done together. I recruited for them, and we ran the first one. By then it was time to read to Mom. Somehow enough of the rest needed to leave, too, the team just broke up. {Smile}

   After dinner, I exercised, and began writing this up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I chatted with Ulty and my new friend. I joined them in casual role-playing that lasted most of the evening. Even after they and most of the others left, one other and I kept talking. I said goodnight to Nox; we missed talking again. I also read comics when the roleplaying got slow enough eventually the last one and I teamed up for a couple of missions. When that and a little paperwork was done, I did my exercises/ Then I wrote a little more of this and made notes to write from the next day. {Smile}
