Daily Update, October 2, 2024

Wednesday morning, I took a nap halfway through the morning that went on long enough, I couldn't clean myself up before lunch without making the meal late. I really need to get my schedule under better control, but so far, I'm better at saying that than actually doing it for an extended period. {rueful look}

I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was resting when I went in. She didn't really rouse much, though occasionally she looked at pictures when prompted to. I'm tempted to show some of them again, even when that means for a third time. First, I started with scripture and thoughts about it. Next, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2022. After that, I restarted _The 40 Cutest Children & Animal Photographs_. Then I read a story from _5-Minute Mary Engelbreit Fairy Tales_. I finished with October 2nd's story, "Sam the Jockey," in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

I did my arm resistance exercises and eight of my twelve arm swinging exercises between reading to Mom and dinner. Then I did my head exercises and the other four arm swinging exercises after dinner. after playing on City of Heroes: Homecoming for most of the evening, I did my full warmup set for eight and a half minutes of salsa dancing. I was breathing barely harder during and afterwards but wasn't quite up to more. Still, I think this is great progress! {GRIN}

After breakfast, I browsed on the web until I took that nap. Then I did more web browsing Before I wrote some of Tuesday's daily update. Next, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, where I found Div. We talked, then teamed up. We talked some more before I said goodnight, and he wished me a good rest of my day. After that I did some paperwork until Dennis said hi. We talked and decided to take a break before teaming up. So I cleaned myself up and went back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. I didn't find Dennis, but I spotted a late call for the later long, large-group event. While I ran it, i told them about Pierogies' progress in recovering from the hurricane. I also passed on one player's good wishes on to Pierogies. During it, Dennis said hi again. I found that near the end of the later long, large-group event. Dennis and I teamed up after that finished for one mission. Then I left to read to Mom. 

After dinner and my exercises, I finished Tuesday's daily update and started this daily update. Then I hopped into City of Heroes; Homecoming and did some paperwork. While I was working on that, Phonso invited me to those two high-level taskforces. I left the paperwork for later and took my third best badge-collector to the taskforces to try for that badge again. She didn't get it this time, either. The group broke up afterwards, so I did more paperwork then played a little by myself before dancing. That was followed by web browsing, and I wrote more of this and made notes in it. then I headed to bed slightly earlier than I have recently. {Smile}
