Daily Update, October 22, 2024

 On Tuesday morning, I fixed my Vindictus account so I could get in. I spent most of the morning doing that, but I did it. I reset my email, my password, and my secondary password when each were on a different screen down a different path of clicks. After that, I logged in to look something up, and stayed to make sure it was working well, parts of it were. I didn't try a quest yet, so I can't speak for the main game. {smile}

I ate dinner with Mom and read to her before that. Mom was awake, and looked at things attentively, though she didn't respond directly. I'd still say it was a fairly good day for her. I usually have to work more at getting her to look at things now. I started with scripture and thoughts about it first. After that, I continued her niece's long family Christmas letter from 2021. Then I showed her pictures in _The 40 Cutest Mother & Child Photographs_, staying longer because she kept actually looking at the pictures. Next, I read a story from _Disney 3-Minute Bedtime Stories_. I ended with October 22nd's story, "The Kangaroos" in _366 Stories for Bedtime_. {Smile}

I did my arm resistance exercises after dinner. Then I did my head exercises between starting this and getting back to City of Heroes: Homecoming. After playing City of Heroes then Vindictus most of the evening, it was late, but still easy to fit in my salsa dancing warmup set. After a short break, I squeezed in one piece of less structured salsa dancing, but I was too tired to even try another piece after that. {Smile}

Over breakfast, I started working on fixing my Vindictus account. Then I went back into it and kept at it right after lunch. When it had settled down, I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I found Kitten and Pierogies eager to start the taskforce Kitten and I did the night before. So, we did it, it took a bit over two hours, but we did it. Dennis was disappointed that we were well into it when he came in. He couldn't' join us, and he'd missed it, but he amused himself playing with other friends. We finished just in time to join the new later short, large-group event in time to get both good rewards. Then I did a little paperwork before I left to read to Mom. {Smile}

After dinner, I wrote up Monday's daily update, with breaks for a little CSW, and reading some comics. Then I started making notes and writing in this. After that, I hopped back into City of Heroes: Homecoming. There, I teamed up with kitten, and we did a mission. Dennis joined us, and we did another mission. Then Phonso invited us to that same taskforce I'd done the night before and that afternoon. Dennis was so excited to finally catch it! So, we ran it after Phonso recruited enough more for a team. I also tried to talk to Nox on the chat server, but they needed a long break, and we ran out of time. So, we mainly said goodnight. After the TF, Phonso said goodnight, and Kitten and I ran a mission. Then Kitten suddenly went quiet. I played Cross Stitch World while waiting to see if they'd come back. When they faded off, I checked out Vindictus, and spent a little over an hour with it without realizing it. I hurriedly started my salsa dancing, wrote and made notes in this between sets of salsa dancing. Then I did more writing and making notes in this. Then I watched a couple of videos and finished making notes in this. {Smile}
