Daily Update, October 12, 2024

 On Saturday, our housekeeper came around lunchtime. When I finished cleaning myself up, I asked if she'd help with the plugs if I got a new battery backup, since I thought the day before's alarm said it needed to be replaced. She thought about it, and agreed to, but said we should look at it first. She started tracing wires, figuring out which one went to the wall. The computer, monitor, modem, and router are why I need the battery backup, but one was attached to nothing, and another to the laptop, which I don't use when I'm using the desktop, which is most of the time. So those two got unplugged. She suggested the alarm might just be a warning that it was overloaded. So, I've decided to wait and see if it happens again. {Smile}

Also, my last update, I said something about the doctor referring me to another doctor. I meant to say he was referring me to physical therapy the two other kinds of physical therapy I can benefit from. He also referred me for the tests that day, and I have requisition form in my purse for next time. {Smile}

I ate breakfast and dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was awake when I went in. She even said she enjoyed my reading part way through the reading. I started with scripture and thoughts about it first. Next. I continued _Babies & Toddlers Happy Book_. After that, I read a birthday card from church, and a Valentine's Day card from me. Next, I read a story from _Disney 3-Minute Bedtime Stories_. I ended with October 12th's story, "Three Apples," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

I did my head exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then I did my arm resistance exercises while things were winding down on City of Heroes: Homecoming. After I got off City of Heroes: Homecoming, I did my leg exercises for the first time since I got my toenail removed. I really want to do more on my light day, but it was better than nothing. {Smile}

After breakfast with Mom, I browsed the web a fair while before cleaning myself up. The housekeeper came while I was doing that. We sorted out the plugs, and then I had lunch. I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming during lunch, and started on paperwork right after checking to find no one in. I was hoping to catch Div, between being early and Pierogies saying he'd caught him, but Div must have left early. Anyway, Pierogies came in and said hi. We decided to join the early long, large-group event together. When it was done, we teamed up on low-level characters and ran a story arc we're both fond of. Next, Dennis joined us as we began the direct sequel story arc. unfortunately, I was distracted, which they rightly complained about when i left my character quiet. After a couple of missions together, I left to read to Mom. {Smile}

After dinner, I checked City of Heroes: Homecoming. Dennis was on, so we teamed up for a couple of missions before he left for bed. After he left, I did some paperwork and wrote up the rest of Friday's daily update. Then I started writing and making notes in this. I said goodnight to Nox shortly before sharing the update, because they had other stuff before bed that took them off their computer. Then I went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming and worked on paperwork until I spotted Alex. We talked a fair while before we ran a mission together. Then we checked out a supergroup they had just learned about, but the leader didn't leave the best impression on either of us. Although it pushed leaving late, I introduced him to another friend before I left to exercise. After my exercise, I browsed a bit on the web and finished making notes in this. {Smile}
