Daily Update, August 21, 2024

    Wednesday, I took things easy. I didn't need to keep my foot as high as yesterday, so I went back to my computer, where I could prop my foot up and still use the computer. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. I actually came in slightly earlier than usual, because I'd just finished cleaning myself up, and didn't really have time to sit at the computer before reading.  Mom was resting, but roused when I greeted her, and seemed to enjoy the reading. First, I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it. Then I read three cards, one each from her cousin, her nephew, and me. After that, I continued _The Picture Book of Kids and Animals_. Next, I read two stories from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished with reading the 21st of August's story, "Cakes of Soap!" from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my head exercises late in the evening. I figured that nodding and shaking my head, even while holding up or moving my arms shouldn't be too strenuous, and my foot was up for them all. Then I did my arm resistance exercises. One could be done sitting, too, so I did it that way. The other does need me to stand in the hall, but I'm not doing anything with my foot, and it didn't take all that long. {Smile}

   During breakfast, I started playing Cross Stitch World, and just kept playing it right through the morning into lunch. then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming during lunch. There, I found Div, who helped me move one more character into their new supergroup - one of my main ones, who is cousin/niece to the ones moved in yesterday, or already were in there. Then we teamed up and ran some of Div's missions. We also ran one for me to get a badge, since I was one mission from getting a particular badge. I slipped in writing some of yesterday's daily update over the afternoon. After playing, I picked out storage in the supergroup. Then I cleaned myself up before reading to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I finished writing yesterday's daily update and shared it. Then I started writing this update. Next, I played a tiny bit of Cross Stitch World before I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I talked a little with Jenny's player, and with Azurette. The latter mentioned a story arc she needed to do. I offered to help with it. Azurette found another friend who wanted to bring their new character along little to earn experience. We three ran the story arc over the course of the evening. I also talked with Nox on the chat server a fair while. After the story arc was done, Azurette and her friend both left. So, I did some paperwork and talked with Divi. Afterwards, I played Cross Stitch World. then I tried a little exercise and read some comics. I finished out the evening writing more of this, and making notes in it, too. {Smile}
