Daily Update, August 1, 2024

    On Thursday after dinner, I texted Auntie Barbara. She was eating dinner and phoned me when she was done. We had a nice talk. She probably isn't coming into town again this week after all, but we will meet at church, and she might visit when dropping me off afterwards. We shall see. {Smile} 

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. I was a little late, and she was resting when I got there. She continued to rest, but usually responded. First, I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I read two Christmas cards, one from her niece, and the other from her cousin's granddaughter. Then I continued _Picture Book: Babies_, I described each picture and read the facts about babies provided on each page. She wasn't opening her eyes as much, so I stopped after a few pages. After that, i read a middle length story and two shorter stories from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I ended with reading the 1st of August's story, "The Wounded Lamb," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my arm swinging exercises and my arm resistance exercises after dinner. Later I did my salsa dancing warmup set. After a break, I tried to do my less structured salsa dancing set, but I stumbled badly enough I grabbed a chair less than a minute into the first piece. So, I took some hypoglycemia medicine and did my head exercises. The head exercises did upset my balance, so I kept treating the hypoglycemia. (My head exercises are meant to challenge my balance, and I guess it wasn't ready for the challenge yet.) Next, I did my sitting and standing arm weight training exercises, which don't really challenge my balance. Then I stopped to concentrating on treating the hypoglycemia, because everything else challenges my balance more. I'll have to get back to more exercises another day. 

   After breakfast, I read articles, then played Cross stitch World until I read comics. Then I cleaned myself up before a late lunch. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I was just in time to say goodnight to Div, who needed to rest his arm after playing. So, I finished writing up Wednesday's daily update and cleaned myself up. Then I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I teamed up with Pierogies. We did a couple of villain missions of his, then said goodnight. 

   After dinner, exercises, and Barbara's phone call, I started writing this. Then I hopped back into City of heroes; Homecoming, where I met up with Dennis. I helped him finish a mission. Near the end, Phonso invited us to a strike force. Dennis said he'd go to bed but go on. I did and ran the strike force. I also chatted a little with Nox on the chat world. Phonso ran a trial next, which I also did. Then he said goodnight and left. Next, I did some paperwork that the earlier playing had produced. Then I played Cross Stitch World. After that, I started salsa dancing. After that, I watched videos and played Cross stitch World before I tried to do more salsa dancing. However, I got too dizzy, so I treated hypoglycemia and exercised in ways that I could do a little more safely. Next, I wrote more of this and made notes, and also played a little more Cross Stitch World. {Smile}
