Daily Update, October 18, 2024

 On Friday, after breakfast, I contacted Uber. A fellow came and took me to physical therapy. {Smile}

Physical therapy went pretty well. I mentioned my recent trouble with getting dizzy, and also that it was less when I was more careful with spotting, a collection of techniques where y9ou use particular ways of looking at things to control dizziness when dancing. Even people with much less vertigo can benefit from using proper spotting while dancing. {Smile} 

When it was done, I contacted Uber, and a different fellow came and took me home. {Smile}

I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. Mom wasn't resting when I went in and stayed awake enough to look at all the pictures. She even answered me once. These days, that's a good day. I started with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. After that, I finished _Childhood Memories; Picture Book_. Then I read a story from _Disney 3-Minute Bedtime Stories_. I finished with October 18th's story, "The Cricket," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

Physical therapy wore me out quite enough to be all my exercise today. {Smile}

After lunch with Mom, I played Cross Stitch World and browsed the web before I got into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with paperwork, then shifted to solo badge hunting. Then I noticed someone was recruiting for the later short, large-group event, so I joined it. When it was done, I went to join the later long, large-group event, knowing that starts when the short one is done. After that, I did some paperwork. I also talked with Dennis in City of Heroes: Homecoming and Pierogies on the chat server, agreeing with each separately to meet up if we could after I finished dinner and came back to the game. I went to read to Mom late, but thankfully that still went pretty well. {Smile}

After dinner, I wrote up Thursday's daily update, with a break to play Cross Stitch World for a while. Then I began writing and taking notes for this update. After that, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I started with paperwork, then went on to badge collecting, just like I had earlier. However, early in the badge collecting, I ran into a pair of giant monsters. I recruited a group to take it down, since I am neither the player nor the character builder to take down a giant monster by themselves, let alone two in short succession. Recruiting started slowly, but when I got enough, we fought the giant monsters, taking them down with a little patience. Then a zombie apocalypse started when only one had left. So, the group fought the zombies. Then we began to search for more giant monsters. Before we found them, the rest of the group went to deal with one another person found in another zone. I got there just too late to help. I started to hunt for badges again when Pierogies came and said hi. I switched to a low-level character, and we started a mission together. Chrome joined us for most of that mission and stayed for the hunt and the long mission that followed. Then they both went to bed, and I went back to badge hunting. Then I read some comics and went back for some hunts I remembered on that character. The first went well, but eh second got frustrating, so I stopped and switched to the earlier character, going back to badge hunting. I finished the evening with some paperwork and making notes in this. {Smile}
