Daily Update, June 30, 2024

   On Sunday, I checked my computer over breakfast, like I long stopped doing when I'm going out right after breakfast. Sure enough, it made me late. {Rueful smile}

   I contacted Uber after breakfast and got to church at the end of the first reading, missing the introduction of the service as well as that reading. The service I saw went well, though. Afterwards, we had lunch on the lanai. Then I went home with auntie Barbara, who came in and visited with Mom. We couldn't get Mom to sing, though we sang a few songs ourselves. {Smile}

   Home communion came right after Auntie Barbara left, which was nice, too. Our deacon did it, since the regulars were off at the General Convention. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. She was resting with her eyes closed when I went in today. She opened them, and mostly looked at what I showed her. She loved the baby pictures, as usual. She responded a few times, too. First, I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I read a birthday card from church and started her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2022.  After that, I started _Picture Book: Babies_, which has facts about babies along with pictures of them. Then I read a long story and six short poems from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I ended with the 30th of June's story, "Sophie's Dream," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my leg exercises, my arm swinging exercises, and my arm resistance exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then, near the end of playing on City of Heroes: Homecoming, I did my head exercises. Later, I did my walking exercises, with a break after eight of the fourteen. I did the other six later. i didn't get to any of the six arm weight training exercises, but the walking exercises are a lot more exercise than they are. {Smile}

   After home communion left, I played Cross Stitch World and peeked at articles. Then I wrote up my daily update. Next, I cleaned myself up, before getting into City of Heroes: Homecoming late again. I did get on in time to join Pierogies for a later long, large-group event. My newest endgame character got a badge he's been trying for longer than he's been in the endgame. Afterwards, I showed Pierogies where a strike-force giver (he gives almost-taskforces to villains and rogues). Then Dennis joined us, and we slipped in one mission on villains before I went to read to Mom. 

   After dinner, I began to write this up. Then I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming and chatted with Ulty and my new friend. They were doing a private roleplay that a visit from me wouldn't fit into, so I wished them well. Then I created two characters, getting them started in the tutorial but not completely through it. Next. I peeked at some not quite as low characters and found one I ran a couple of hunts and some talks on. Next, I did some exercise. Then I played Cross Stitch World, read some comics, and started making notes here. Then I did more exercise, made more notes, read more comics, and ended with a little more writing and notes before bed. {Smile}
