Daily Update, August 17, 2024

    Saturday was pretty quiet. I stayed home, and didn't even use the phone much. {Smile}

   I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I left the game late again. Mom was awake but quiet when I went in. She did rouse when we got to the baby pictures and stayed awake after that. I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. After that, I finished _The Happy Book Babies_. Next, I read two poems from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. The story after that was long, so I just finished with reading the 17th of August's story, "The Lonely Spring," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my head exercises between reading to Mom and eating dinner. Then I did my arm resistance exercises and arm swinging exercises after dinner and some Cross Stitch World. After teaming for much of the evening, I did my salsa dancing warmup set. Then, after a longer break than I meant to take, I did one less structured piece for 14 3/4 minutes of salsa dancing {Smile}

   After breakfast, I read articles and comics and played Cross Stitch World most of the morning. Then I finished writing Friday's daily update into lunch. then I hopped into City of Heroes Homecoming, where I did a little paperwork before I teamed with Div. After some talks and a mission, he left, and I did more paperwork. Then I cleaned myself up before I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I worked on paperwork and ran through a bunch of talks left from playing with Div. Then Austin invited me to a light role-playing mission team with him and someone I don't know. Kitten meowed at me but was too tired to join, I think. Dennis said hi, and did join us. The four of us finished the story arc. Austin actually told a different story centered on his character while we played, which I thought was neat, giving himself unique motivations for what he did, and adding a few things, too. Austin and the one I don't know left after the story arc was done. Then Dennis got a different character who'd outlevelled a mission I had, though they still had it. We did mine, and both got credit for completing ours while fighting folks of a reasonable level for us. After that, I left to read to Mom, after promising to continue the arc with them so we can continue to both get credit for stuff that counts. {Smile}

   After dinner, I played Cross Stitch World and began writing and taking notes in this, pausing to do a few exercises before continuing. After that, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I said hi to Dr. Faustus, Ulty, and Jenny's Player. They all responded, and we started to talk. Dr. Faustus was in a task force. They were reforming, but I checked for characters who needed it, and didn't get back to them in time. He promised to team and badge hunt afterwards, having a couple of good missions for that. I searched my characters for ones to do it at leisure. My top three badgers all had them, and they were villain missions, so I checked my villains. My top villain had one and got the other easily on her own while I waited for the taskforce to finish. My second villain got both. My third villain got one that Doctor Faustus farms. That meant we went in, got what we wanted, and come out without properly finishing, so he can do that again. We also farmed something else for my second villain, but we didn't get enough. During this, I tried to talk with Nox, but they were tired and left before I noticed they'd responded. I was seriously distracted by teaming with Dr. Faustus. Then Dr. Faustus had to leave.  I tried to get more but ended up just doing paperwork. Then i did my dancing, with Cross Stitch World in the break. Afterwards, I did more Cross Stitch World, some City of heroes: Homecoming paperwork, and took notes and wrote in this. {Smile}
