Daily Update, August 7, 2024

    On Wednesday, I mostly took it easy, since it was the day after I got my root canal finished. {Smile}

   I did get a nice phone call from Auntie Barbara in the evening, after dinner. We had a nice talk, and she confirmed how well the root canal went. {Smile}

   I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. I left the game as early as I'm trying to now. Mom was sitting up when I went. She was good at looking at things today, especially baby pictures. I started my reading with scripture and thoughts about it first. Next, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2020. Then I continued _Picture Book: Babies_. She was really looking at those babies. After that, I read a story from _365 Animal Stories and Rhymes_. I ended with reading the 7th of August's story, "Pom's Big Catch," from _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

   I did my head exercises and arm resistance exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Later in the evening, I did my arm swinging exercises. I'm encouraged that this was more than I was able to do the day after the last root canal. {Smile}

   At and after breakfast, I read articles. Then I played Cross Stitch World. I began writing up Tuesday's daily update before lunch. After lunch, I checked city of Heroes: Homecoming. Then I finished writing up Tuesday's daily update. After that, I cleaned myself up. then I went back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. Pierogies grabbed me right away. He had Kitten with him, and they wanted to run a player-made story arc. Dennis joined us before it began, so we all ran the whole thing. We all liked it, too. It was pretty well written. It also ended just about when I want to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I played Cross Stitch World. then I began writing this up, and also talked with folks on chat server before I tried to find someone to talk to. Michiel was just leaving. Phonso invited me to a taskforce, Dennis came in and said hi, and then Auntie Barbara's phone call happened. When it was finished, Phonso's taskforce had filled, so I just teamed up with Dennis. He helped me do a few missions in a story arc on a moderately low-level character. I'm eager to get it done, because after this, she'll be ready to gain a few levels. I spend more time delaying gaining levels to do more content at level, when they let you add folks any time. After a few missions, Dennis left for bed. I also talked with Nox on the chat server, along with some others. then I did some paperwork. Next, I played Cross Stitch World and read comics, before doing what exercise I felt up to. After that, I wrote more of this and made notes in it, along with doing some City of Heroes: Homecoming paperwork and reading more comics. {Smile}
