Daily Update, August 23, 2024

    Friday, the housekeeper came. The house is, as always, much better for her attentions. I'm no housekeeper, especially with my severe permanent vertigo's help {Smile}

   Also, I had a nap right after breakfast with Mom. I'd gone to bed a little late, but that doesn't explain the length of that nap. Healing the toe must be taking something out of me. {smile}

   I got a nice phone call from Auntie Barbara after dinner, checking how I was doing, and just catching up with each other. It was great to hear from her. {Smile}

   I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. I came in at a typical time again. That's when I happened to finish cleaning myself up today, too. Mom was drowsy and rested a lot, but she seemed to enjoy the reading. I began my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Next, I read four cards, one each from her cousin, a friend, and one from each of her sisters. Then I considered another baby picture book, but she seemed a bit tired for that. So, I read three short stories from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I finished with reading the 23rd of August's story, "The Space Fairy" from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I didn't exercise again. I'm still trying to follow the doctor's instructions about taking it easy. {Smile}

   After my nap, I checked online and began writing more of Thursday's daily update. Next, I had lunch with Mom. Afterwards, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming and did some paperwork. Then I found Div and we teamed up. He wanted to help a character of mine get through the stories and missions I want him to do before he gains level. We did quite a few over the afternoon. Pierogies joined us partway through, doing several missions with us. Then I said goodnight to them and cleaned myself up before I read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I started writing this daily update up. Then I finished writing up Thursday's daily update. After that, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I started with paperwork. I talked with Ulty and Jenny's Player when winding down with that paperwork. I also began chatting with Nox on the chat server. Then Dennis said hi. He was struggling with the laptop he's using this week. I told him I'd had trouble with some lag this afternoon and earlier this week, which is really unusual for me. about the time I said goodnight to Dennis, Michiel said hi, and asked to team. I got the character I was trying to run through content on, and we ran a few missions, talking while we did, on and off. After he left, I ran a hunt by myself and did some paperwork. I also finished making notes in this update. {Smile}
